History
Hermann is the brother of former Archon Alessandro Steiner. He was the commander of the 2nd Royal Guards.[1]
He was also the chief of Project Desert Knights, the research project which developed the Rommel and Patton tanks. In this project Hermann leveraged his experience as a successful tank commander, an exception in a BattleMech dominated universe, with the hope of creating effective tanks half as expensive as any 'Mech. Hermann was diligent in his role, especially from a security and performance testing perspective, choosing the aggressive Hansen's Roughriders as the first unit to receive and test the new designs.[2][3]
Steiner ultimately resigned his commission to prevent his brother, Alessandro Steiner from using him as a political weapon in Alessandro's attempts to depose Katrina Steiner.[1]
He withdrew to the world of Zaniah III, where he became the Abbot of St. Marinus House and took the new name of Brother Giles.
He sheltered Morgan Kell for eleven years at the sanctuary, even though Morgan never formally joined the sanctuary itself.[4]
