Jake Hawkins was the commanding officer of the Fifteenth Marik Militia as of 3014.[1]
History[edit]
Colonel Hawkins and the Fifteenth Marik Militia were stranded on Berenson at the outbreak of Anton's Revolt due to the manipulations of Anton Marik. Loyal to Captain-General Janos Marik, Hawkins' Fifteenth Militia remained a target for the rebel forces and in late 3014 the Third Marik Militia and Fourth Ducal Guard arrived on Berenson to eliminate them. After months of isolation, Hawkins knew his troops were in poor shape and instead elected to delay the rebels with a series of fighting withdrawals. While this cost Hawkins a battalion of troops, these tactics succeeded in buying enough time for the Thirty-first Marik Militia to arrive as reinforcements. Rather than risk losing one of his major military commands and the resulting morale blow, Anton Marik ordered the Third to retreat and left Hawkins' unit intact, if not whole.[1]
Hawkins' Fifteenth Militia and the accompanying Thirty-first Militia pursued the Third Militia to Bernardo where, after three weeks of fighting, the badly injured Third Militia fell back once again to Park Place.[2] Joined by the mercenary Head Hunters and the Stewart Dragoons' Home Guard, the Fifteenth Militia spent another two weeks battering the Third Militia into submission on Park Place, ultimately forcing General Gerald Marik into surrendering.[3]
Following Anton's Revolt, Hawkins continued to command the Fifteenth Militia and was stationed on Wasat in 3025.[4]
