Cordinal of the Cross Maiden DuThaire is the long-time commander of the 522nd Foot Brigade, “Leliel Ascends.” Originally from the Temple, DuThaire took command of the 522nd more than 20 years ago when its then-Cordinal and several senior officers were killed in a skirmish with Rafaelan rebels backed by Zenith agents. Since then she has led as an effective, if “by the book,” commander.

Maiden DuThaire wears a prayer ribbon in her hair for every one of the men killed under her command, and particularly hates the Republic for forcing so much unnecessary death in the pursuit of a heretical goal. Her brigade faced particular difficulty during the first phase of the war, due to her unwillingness to adapt her tactics to take into account the Republic's advanced weaponry.
