Chief Lewis

Chief Lewis is the commander and chief of the Military Police. He's the first high ranking government official to begin helping the Seekers movement, and his role is vital due to his vast amount of knowledge on the domestic workings of Estines.

Appearance
Lewis is a pudgy, middle aged man with black hair and a thick mustache. He has drowsy, downturned eyes, which makes him look tired even when he is not. Unlike Lornes, his coat is always buttoned and only seems to wear his hat when outside of the office. He's relatively short, standing only slightly taller than Rina.

Personality
Based on how his actions, Lewis seems to be a stern man who takes his job extremely seriously. Upon seeing the decline of the Military Police, he immediately throws himself into his work in an effort to fix the many problems. When he gets promotions but not any change, it only makes him work harder, highlighting how ambitious he is.

His sterness is further cemented in his wedding photo, where he doesn't smile. Initially, Rina thought his marriage was likely forced and unhappy, but upon looking closer she could see love in his eyes.

History
Chief Lewis grew up in Roggs, choosing to join the Military Police in hopes to live near his family. To his surprise, Lewis discovers that he enjoys the work and begins moving up the ranks.

Shortly after King Collin, and by extension General Crispin, took charge the Military Police immediately began to decline, as Sergeants were only allowed to give referrals to the lower level graduates. This decline was troublesome for the young Lewis, who wanted to fix it. He worked extremely hard for four years, earning him the role of Commander and Chief.

Despite his new position, little change was seen. Lewis tried to get more funding for more intensive training, but General Crispin believed the Military Police were useless and undeserving of funding, meaning Lewis was never able to implement any change.

Lewis was dejected and decided to accept that the Military Police would be a weak branch until the King's term was over. Instead, he reworked the Military Police so his men would only be loyal to him by allowing the widespread corruption to occur.

This strategy, while not ideal, paid off when Lewis caught wind of the Seekers movement. He ordered his men to investigate but not keep any records of the rebellion. Although confused, his men did what they were told, and tracked down six of the twenty-six Seekers leaders, including Lucas Black.
