    Default Captain/General's name?! for Mercenary Submod

    Who is this gorgeous man!? (attached below)

    Well I know he is a captain or general that is used in custom battles but I cannot figure out the file or text name (ie. northern_captain_early).

    . . .

    I am asking because mercenaries have largely been neglected in moding (unless there is a submod I have not seen that is) so I have been working on a mercenary sub-mod for SS6.4 (that may or may not work well enough to post) using the Greek Merc Building with all Western kingdoms to recruit various units from abroad and I wanted to use this fellow I am asking about for a mailed monk, replacing the useless Pilgrims for crusade mercs (not an elite unit or anything just adding some flavor). Either on foot or, even better, on a little pony. You can have a whole unit of zealous, sword swinging Peter the Hermits to muck-up the gallantry of your knights!

    I have improved the appearance of a few units like merc spears, made great looking units like Prussian Axemen, Boyars, others, recruitable merc units along with some standard merc units. If you are like me, you love some of the units in other factions but never play them (I just get bored with East Europe for some reason). So, I thought make some cool units recruitable. If Venice needs cavalry, by some Vikings from Russia to help!

    I did not intend to but have managed to add/replace a couple elite infantry merc units using existing units and textures, each with 1 or 2 armor upgrades, I think some of you will like once I have ironed out the mod and tested to see if it works well. Pictured below are Hessian Veterans and Armored Highlanders. And I am not terribly interested in historic realism (that is what we accually know today about medieval militarism) just adding some reasonable options to the troops you can recruit with your faction.

    . . .

    Well, if it is possible to access this unit and use him as a soldier in the EDU, I will give it a shot, I just need to know his name??

    Thanks for any help.
