Atleen is a cleric of Abasha, the goddess of justice. She joined the campaign at the request of her temple, to provide moral guidance to the legionaires and to observe their behavior in the west. Officially, she exists outside the chain of command and can operate as a free agent. Unofficially, it is widely accepted that Atleen has probably been dispatched to the front as part of some byzantine imperial plot. The legionaires treat her with a degree of deference but they do not share their confidences with her.

What no one knows is that Atleen’s presence is a direct result of a request from the Emperor himself. Stories of moral turpitude among the legions grow worse each year and the Emperor is determined to rectify this situation. So, through his Minister of Relgions, he contacted the Temple of Abasha and asked for their assistance.

Atleen is unaware of all of this. As far as she’s concerned, she’s there to minister to the troops. During the campaign, she’s also been called upon to curb some of the soldiers’ actions. This did not endear her to General Pretek, or some of the soldiers.

Atleen continues to follow the dictates of her faith. This has made her something of a problem for General Zenn.  The cleric has proven somewhat disruptive to operations and a headache that Zenn does not need at this stage. He is thinking of sending her to tour the captured territories and to report back to him with her observations. This would get the young cleric out of the way, but Zenn is concerned that Atleen might stir up trouble among the troops and that is the last thing any of them need.
