Orlando's Knight, the Coward's Bane

Orlando is a Knight of House Cadmus. Orlando is next in line to become one of the Twelve Barons of Raisa, and would likely be considered a rival to the ruler of House Cadmus. However, his disregard for the Cull – the yearly event in which Raisa’s Nobles hunt their planet’s mutants – ensures that he could never claim lordship of his house. For Orlando, slaying the beasts is an everyday task, not a sporting event. Thus, Orlando is content as ruler of Patton Hall, a keep in the most isolated province of Raisa.[1]

When called to war, Orlando pilots Coward’s Bane, his Knight Crusader. One of the eldest of Raisa’s Knight suits, Coward’s Bane still flashes emerald when its ancient ion shield repels a powerful incoming shot. Orlando’s Nobles all know well the thunderclap roar emitted when his Knight’s gauntleted fist strikes home. It is a sound heard often enough, for Orlando is tasked with leading many campaigns – a tribute to his fighting prowess.[1]

Conflict in Sources

Despite the fact that the knight is designated as Knight Crusader (weapons - Avenger Gatling Cannon and Battle Cannon, judging by the weaponry in his image, it is Knight Warden (Avenger Gatling Cannon and Thunderstrike Gauntlet). Perhaps the types of weapons were depicted with an error.[1]
