General James Spencer-Churchill, 33rd Duke of Marlborough is the officer in command of the 63rd Federals and the 63rd Alliance Enforcement Fleet.
History
Born as the Marquess of Blandford, a hereditary title passed to the first son of the Duke of Marlborough, James Spencer-Churchill knew from an early age he was destined for a military career, as so many of his illustrious fore fathers had served their various kings, queens and other leaders. His family's main holdings are on Londinium, where, as some of the first settlers they acquired over the years, due to wealth and trickery, land that is now occupied by some of the more prestigious habitats on Londinium, with the worth of the land put in the hundreds of millions if not billions of credits in modern Alliance currency. He attended Londinium's New Cambridge University from the ages of 18-21 before attending the Alliance military academy for a year, graduating at the rank of 2nd Lieutenant and quickly rising up the ranks thanks to family connections and the war, where he served as Colonel commanding the Duke's Own Blenheim Volunteers, an Alliance regiment raised on Londinium for the war effort by James's father in order to get James a regiment to command. As part of the 63rd Alliance Division, the Blenheim Volunteers served at Serenity Valley. Following the war, Marlborough was admitted into the Alliance staff officer training, becoming a Brigadier. Upon his father's death, he assumed the title 'Duke of Marlborough'.
