Donald Lundee

General Donald Lundee was a former United States Marine Corp General who resigned his post to join the small arms company Armatech-Lucessi. He took up the position of CEO and renamed the company into Militech which has become one of the worlds largest weapons manufacturers.

History
Born to a military family in New England, Donald Lundee graduated top of his class from West Point academy and entered the Marine Corps in 1970. He saw combat in Vietnam, Grenada, the Gulf War, and the First Central American Conflict. His flawless record quickly elevated him to the rank of General, making him one of the youngest Pentagon chiefs in history. In 1998, after the FN-SAF fiasco, a disgruntled and disillusioned Lundee retired from the military. Then came the Collapse, crumbling the military contractors of the previous decades one by one.

Lundee realized that a modern arms manufacturer must be a streamlined, technological powerhouse, capable of providing superior products, and unfettered by political affiliation or government regulation.

Allying himself with Antonio Luccessi, Lundee expanded the fledgling Armatech-Luccessi company into Militech and returned to the Pentagon in 2004-not as a chief, but as a salesman. The US was finally scrapping the FN-SAF, and they chose Militech's Ronin as its replacement This boosted Militech to its current megacorp status, and Lundee has successfully continued as the CEO.

Unfortunately, Lundee, like so many before him, has been subtly warped by the tremendous power he has acquired. He originally joined Armatech-Luccessi with the highest of ideals. He wanted to produce superior military products at reasonable prices so that U.S. and other troops wouldn't be left facing the consequences of inferior weapons workmanship. The expansion of Armatech into Militech was a logical step toward making that philosophy apply at all levels of weapons crafting, and not just to small arms. While Militech continues to maintain high quality standards and reasonable prices, but there are no longer any idealistic explanations for it. It is strictly business; another way for Militech to expand its market share and consolidate power. Lundee espouses noble corporate goals for public relations reasons but beneath it all, his desire is to see Militech become the most potent force on the planet.

Still, there are some problems for Lundee. While no one within the corporation can deny Lundee's leadership or executive abilities, not everyone on the board of directors likes him. This worries Lundee. Although he holds a large chunk of Militech stock and sits on the board of directors, he is not chairman, neither is the chairman a pawn of his. This means that he can lose his position as CEO should the board of directors find fault with him. Lundee has been waging a subtle financial war, trying to consolidate as much of the voting power as possible in his hands and those of those board members loyal to him. This has caused tension within the board of directors and has lead to several assassinations and resignations. At this point, as the power struggle between Lundee and those board members who would replace him with their candidate continues, there is a great deal of turmoil. Lundee is not yet in imminent danger of being forced out, but that time could come if he's not careful.

None of this has done any good for Lundee's paranoia level, and he lives and travels under constant guard to prevent assassination. Fortunately for the corporation, the internal struggle has only mildly affected Militech policy, and has not damaged it politically or financially.By unspoken agreement, all internal strife is kept as secret as possible from the outside world so as not to betray any weakness within the corporation.
