'''Chapter Master Rook North'''
[[File:Rook_North_of_the_Nova_Defenders.jpg|200px|thumb|Chapter Master Rook North]]
Rook North would be the first to tell others that he was a narcissist.  He would also be the first to inform them of his courage, tactical brilliance, honourable nature, good looks, and as anything else about himself that he had time to impart.  But if the man bragged, he certainly had plenty to brag about.  He was one of the first intake of Terrans who had fought alongside Hektor in the Merican Hives.  North had gone on to fight in all of the most illustrious campaigns of the Crusaders, even before they were reunited with Gaudin.  He developed the elite boarding companies, the ''Sturmtruppen'', who would so distinguish themselves in the Siege of Terra.  Even when Thomas Gaudin carried the Emperor's broken body from the ''Sun Chariot'', North was at his side, fiercely defending his lords.  North's valour and skill at arms is testified by the fact that he was the last Loyalist survivor of the Sacred Band to fall in battle.  He was the original Crusader, and he never let anyone forget about that.
