Hellfire Legion Message Dump (AO)

[Durandal]

To all the men and women serving the Legion, I wish to extend my both my gratitude and pride in you for having kept the torch burning for the past 3 years during my absence. My name is Samuel Locklear, and for those who do not yet know I've been selected by the government of Guadalajara to serve as the Legion's new Lord Commander.

Markus Brass' reasons for departing are many and varied, but they are personal and private to him. After his many long years of service he intends to spend the rest of his days on Guadalajara, a peace he has fought hard for and earned.

As the first elected Lord Commander in Legion history, I believe it is time to close a dark chapter and begin anew. Men and women like Drake Thastus, Denelo Mori, and Grace Callahan laid out the blueprints and poured down a base for the foundation of the Legion, but in those dark times it was as much a fight for survival as it was for the people of Liberty. Given the circumstances, there were only so much that these pillars of the Legion could do.

For twenty years the Hellfire Legion has existed. We've sworn to be the shield that guards House Liberty, the scales which weigh the sins of its betrayers, and the blade which cuts them down. For twenty years we've failed to fulfill that oath. We allow Liberty's media to brand us as traitors and terrorists. We've been known to ignore our sworn enemies when it suits us, and we've been complacent at best and tyrannical at worst in our actions.

I do not believe it is the people of Liberty who are to fault for this. I believe that we have been doing so much with so little for so long, that we have forgotten that this is a fight for the future, not for ourselves. To this end I am commencing Operation Logos, a campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Libertonian people, and to serve as doctrine for the Legion's actions in the years to come. There is also a project that the Legion will begin work on, commencing immediately. You can access information on Operation Logos and Project Hesperia at the Legion Operations Database.

Libera te ex Infernis.
