The Red Duke’s Private Army
Though the L.A.S.T. is not a military power, some of its members maintain paramilitary armies. The Red Duke is one such member. When asked why he maintains such a force, he usually replies “Necessity” and elaborates no further. Once, when a certain Mr. Malone had the temerity to question him and asked the Duke how many men he retained under arms, the Duke’s response was that “they are sufficient to the tasks appointed them.” The extent of the Red Duke’s forces is unknown.
Forces of the the Red Duke
The core of the red Duke’s army is his masked minions. He also maintains specialized elite units as well.
The Red Duke’s own design for a steam car is the most common form of vehicle seen in action with his forces. However, as the Duke is something of a technological genius, he is forever trying out new designs — not all of which are successful.
