Brogan (Innocence)

Brogan was an officer in the Kaled military who was secretly a pacifist, or "peace activist" as he preferred to be called. He served under Colonel Nasgard as a Captain until his promotion to Major, earned when he reported the Colonel's health problems and erratic behaviour to headquarters. Brogan refused Nasgard's request for an honourable death on the battlefield and instead escorted him home to his family, where he first met Yarvell.

They became friends and he comforted her upon learning of her father's death, during which he revealed his beliefs to her. Lady Calcula used this fact and other circumstantial evidence to manipulate Councillor Quested into having Brogan arrested and executed as a traitor. Yarvell was a member of the execution squad.
