He is also a symbolic father figure to his younger more inexperienced squad members. He is able to shout commands resulting in his squad having better combat experiences and receiving special orders. However, he can choose alternatively to command a ship with crew who listen to each command resulting in better ship combat and both with crew and the ship still in one piece.

Power, Prestige and Honor. Three words that describe the representative. This individual is best known for his 'better' upbringing resulting in him taking higher jobs and education.
