History
Senior Colonel Norbert Kingelt rose steadily through the ranks of the Magistracy Armed Forces due to his reputation as a solid commander.
Succession Wars
In 3024 then Commander Kingelt led the MacGraw's Marauder battalion of the Canopian Highlanders, stationed on Luxen[2] . At the start of 3050 he had been promoted to Colonel and commanded the Highlanders Regiment[3].
Clan Invasion
By 3054 Kingelt had been promoted again to Senior or Full Colonel, one of three aides to Magestrix Emma Centrella[4][5]. By 3059 he was in command of all MAF forces stationed in the New Colony Region and was co-commander of the Colonial Marshals[1].
Civil War
Kingelt was no longer a Senior Colonel by 3064. It is unknown if this was due to death or retirement.[6]
Personality
Despite his large size (1.96m/6'5" and 136kg/300lbs) he was surprisingly fast and a renowned painter. Several of his pieces were displayed in galleries across the Magistracy. Though he worked well with the civilian authorities on the Colony Council, he had several disagreements with the council president, Sherman Maltin, whom he viewed as hampering military operations with his slow reaction time.[1]
Notes
Kingelt is last seen in 3059, given the timing it is possible he was killed in Maltin's 3060 coup which also claimed the life of Jeffrey Calderon. As a Senior Colonel to the Magestrix and co-commander of the Marshals he would have almost certainly been at the Detroit conference which saw Centrella and Calderon taken hostage.
