Consul of Military

The Consul of Military is a government position in Thebes and is one of 12 consuls. The Consul of Economy oversees military procedures and is the highest position in the chain of command for the Theban military. The current Consul of Military since November 19, 2020 is James Miller. However, the position was held for over a year by Declan Welsh, setting the record for second longest consul term, and formerly longest, broken soon after Welsh left office by Cayden Ludlow.

History

The Consul of Military was created on June 19, 2019, when Thebes was founded. The Consul of Military was one of the first consul positions filled, as Declan Welsh was appointed to the position on June 20, a day after Thebes was founded. Over the first 9 months of its existence, the position was the sole position in the chain of command for the military. However, the military's hierarchy was expanded, including the Supreme Commander of the Army, which is the second highest position by seniority in the army, second to the Consul of Military itself. In October, and stretching into November, an election was held between incumbent Declan Welsh, Consul of Law Enforcement James Miller, and former Spartoi Nick Gage. Miller won the election with 53.8% of the vote, and has held the position since.
