- TartagliaAbout Childe
I hear Councilor Tartaglia was born a commoner. I've yet to speak with him at any length... But from what I've seen, he is a forthright man who treats his subordinates well. Judging by the recent personnel transfers, The Captain's most trusted soldiers now serve under him. I would like to make his acquaintance. But the right opportunity has never arisen... Just challenge him to a fight? A-Are you serious?
- VarkaAbout Varka
While accompanying The Captain, the Special Assignments Battalion once encountered the Knights of Favonius expeditionary force. That day, I watched from a distance as their Grand Master fought. His strength was astonishing, and he wielded his two swords with complete abandon, as if the notion of conserving his strength never even crossed his mind... Or perhaps he's so powerful that he doesn't need to. If only he weren't so fond of hard liquor... my respect for him would easily double.
- SandroneAbout Marionette
Lady Sandrone may be the best there is at upgrading Landcruisers. Her Bosco Legion series delivers nearly seventy percent better overall performance than the standard production models. They're practically brand-new machines, just wearing the same armor. Some of my soldiers were seconded to her command and fought in the defense of the Experimental Design Bureau in Nod-Krai, and every one of them came back with the deepest respect for her. Clearly, she is an exceptional Harbinger, as gifted in command as she is in research.
- AlyoshaAbout Alyosha
Contrary to what many people assume, I too grew up in a remote village... Why would I make an enemy of a fine young man who works tirelessly for the ordinary people and keeps taking on cases that sit in legal gray areas? Provided he crosses no lines, I have neither official grounds nor any personal desire to arrest him. That does not mean I consider the Rokot completely harmless. For now, however, they are still working for the good of Snezhnaya. They are not my enemies.
- VesnaAbout Vesna
Commander Vesna and I serve in different branches, so I doubt a mere major like me has made much of an impression on her. Compared to us regulars, the Druzhna's mobility and ability to break through are unmatched, though they would struggle to bring that to bear in a static, entrenched battle. Not that they need to worry about it. They're Her Majesty's personal guard, after all. Ordinary engagements aren't worth troubling them with. Yet I sometimes see Commander Vesna at... promotional events? I don't quite understand her purpose there.
- VodyanitsaAbout Vodyanitsa
Some singers really do have a kind of "magic" in their voice — she is one such example. Even someone who knows as little about the arts as I do is moved by her songs. At times, I've even found myself somewhat understanding why Mr. Mitya behaves as he does... Understanding, mind you. Not approving. Deadlines are non-negotiable. I won't grant him even an extra half hour on that account.
- MityaAbout Mitya: Respect...
The Special Assignments Battalion has many duties. One is to "keep important people working like clockwork." As you've seen, Mr. Mitya has little patience for an orderly routine. With most people, I could use methods that are rather less "polite." But even someone like me, with no head for scholarship, can tell what he does matters enormously. So, I shouldn't come down too hard on him.
- MityaAbout Mitya: Friends...
After everything we've been through, Mr. Mitya now calls me his friend. I'm honored. Of all my friends, he is the one I hold in the highest esteem. Some officers and nobles might pay a fortune to "buy" that distinction. But friendship can't be measured, any more than the bond between comrades who've sheltered in the same shell crater. Mr. Mitya has given Snezhnaya something no one else could. I must take the greatest care to keep him safe and give him a place where he can work entirely undisturbed... Though... I need to find a way to make him understand just how badly it disrupts the overall schedule when he does whatever he pleases...
- The CaptainAbout The Captain
The Captain was not in my chain of command, but the Special Assignments Battalion had the honor of operating alongside his forces several times. There's no overstating his influence on our soldiery. Back when I was in basic training, the manuals and regulations we used had already been improved by his hand, and many outstanding fighters learned their craft from him... When word came of what he did in Natlan, my comrades and I were all heartbroken... but proud of him, too. If Snezhnayan soldiers need a role model, who could it be but him?
- The TsaritsaAbout the Tsaritsa
As a field officer, I'm far removed from matters of grand strategy. But I've long felt, from what my fellow officers and the people say, how much Her Majesty the Tsaritsa has given for Snezhnaya. She will surely lead this nation to the best possible future. So my foremost duty is to keep the Special Assignments Battalion at peak readiness at all times, prepared for any mission Her Majesty orders. Should she give the word, I'll lead the whole battalion onto the most perilous battlefield there is, and count it our greatest honor.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Different Paths
Even my entire battalion could not overpower a warrior of your caliber by dint of strength alone. As for your achievements, they are legendary, and so numerous that your whole uniform would be bedecked in medals... For that, you have my respect.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Shared Goals
When it comes to our long-term goals, I believe we are of one mind. Our intel reports that you help ordinary people in every nation you visit, and work hard to keep their settlements safe. I strive to do the same. A soldier defeats the enemy not for honor or glory, but to secure a peaceful life for his countrymen. If it would help, you are welcome to draw on my experience in managing your team. Who knows, it might become even more formidable one day...
- AlyoshaAbout Valeriy
The first time I met Valeriy, he blocked my path and turned me away from the Armory Palace, listing off some article of some regulation or other that said I wasn't allowed to approach... I mean, I was sneaking around with a hunting rifle no less, so I was surprised the guy didn't arrest me on the spot. In fact, I was expecting to have to fight him off, but instead, I gained a new contact at the Armory. Not a bad turn of events. Honestly, we think alike in a lot of ways. So now that we've established a clear boundary, as long as it isn't crossed, we get along great.
- OdetteAbout Valeriy
Major Valeriy is a Fatui officer who's very strict about keeping things on schedule. I've heard he commands with a level-headed disposition that can also come off as quite terrifying... But we belong to different divisions, so we rarely have a chance to interact. Besides... I don't need anyone to remind me what I should be doing.
- MityaAbout Valeriy's Lectures
If you're feeling too busy, try Mr. Valeriy's hundredth introductory lecture on time management. If you've got too much time on your hands, give it a try anyway. After all, listening to his lectures is basically killing time.
- MityaAbout Valeriy: Understanding
To be fair, I can't blame Mr. Valeriy for being so fixated on schedules. He's surrounded by unreliable people. They'll spot a problem and do nothing to fix it. A whole group of 'em just standing around telling each other, "Huh, strange, very strange," even as they push the work along in the wrong direction. I'm not one of them, obviously. I have no intention of pushing anything forward.
