Southern Colonel

The Southern Nomads pick their Colonels carefully. Any rank above a Colonel traditional oversees a region, and anything below oversees a district or smaller segment. These leaders/overseers don't need to be overly public facing, but folks like to know who is in charge of their city. With that in mind, the nomads need to pick someone who maintains the servile face of the nomads while simultaneously not inviting insurrection. That is the general reason that most Southern Colonels are large, hulking, brutes of people. They normally more closely resemble apes than men or women. However, they always have a sharp wit under the surface. You have to in order to serve the Southern Junta at this high of a level.
