Lieutenant Standish

Ranking officer of the Royal Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant Standish leads the assault on the Palace of Fire, but will require the assistance of a Wizard to ensure success.

Myles Standish (c. 1584 – October 3, 1656) was an English military officer. He was hired as military adviser for Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, United States by the Pilgrims. Standish accompanied the Pilgrims on the ship Mayflower and played a leading role in the administration and defense of Plymouth Colony from its foundation in 1620. On February 17, 1621, the Plymouth Colony militia elected him as its first commander and continued to re-elect him to that position for the remainder of his life. Standish served at various times as an agent of Plymouth Colony on a return trip to England, as assistant governor of the colony, and as its treasurer.

A purported portrait of Myles Standish, allegedly painted in 1625, first published in 1885.
Its authenticity has not been confirmed.
