Status: Non-canonical character from Generals 2
Jean-Marie ‘Ghost’ Gavel is a French general in the European Union specialising in reconnaissance, infiltration and tactical intelligence operations.
His military career dates back to the formation of the Unified European State, making him one of the most experienced veterans in the European Union’s armed forces.
Over the years, Gavel has built up an exceptional reputation and has become one of the world’s most respected specialists in reconnaissance and infiltration.
Extremely methodical, he is capable of planning operations that enable his men to penetrate even the most heavily guarded enemy installations virtually undetected.
His composure is equally remarkable: even under enemy fire, Ghost is reputed to be capable of maintaining absolute calm and methodically carrying out his plan.
This self-control contrasts with the mystery surrounding his personality.
Off the battlefield, Gavel is an extremely secretive man, whose private life remains unknown to almost everyone, with the exception of the highest-ranking officials in the European Union.
He socialises little with his subordinates, but this distance does not prevent his name from commanding deep respect within the European forces.
His reputation is such that EU infantrymen claim you never know when ‘ Ghost’ has arrived on the battlefield until the bodies start turning up.
His doctrine is naturally based on discretion, observation and attacks on the enemy’s weak points, rather than head-on confrontations.
His arsenal was said to include reconnaissance squads, Fox LRVs, Aegis tanks, Sharpshooter Teams and Railgun units, supplemented by Longbows, Phantoms and Valkyries.
It could also deploy the Gerhardt Krause commando unit, whilst its positions were defended by Minigun turrets and rocket launchers.
His signature support unit, the Reaper UAV, further reinforced his specialisation in reconnaissance and covert operations.
Jean-Marie ‘Ghost’ Gavel was thus intended to embody the European Union’s invisible warfare: a cold and methodical strategist who prefers to penetrate enemy defences unseen and strike precisely where his opponent believes himself to be best protected.
