Major General Brian "Boy" Regnitz (11 May 1910) is a retired Erebonian Officer, General, and Television Presenter who is best known for his roles during the Middle East Campaign and the Asianna and the Pacific Campaign of the Second Europan War. He was nicknamed "Boy" due to his young facial features. Regnitz was also responsible for the establishment of the Thors Military Academy in Leeves and the formation of the Erebonian Special Air Service in 1941. He is remembered and dubbed as the "Father of the Erebonian Special Forces".
Regnitz was also famous for his aggressive and cautious approach to the battlefield. He specialised in combined operations that required the coordination of infantry, tanks, air force, and logistics. He placed emphasis on dagger thrusts and offensive means to conduct defensive operations. Regnitz also masterminded the relief of Bethausian forces during the Manas River Offensive, in which he and his Rubrumian counterpart, Elliot Testarossa successfully pulled off a seemingly-impossible tactic to relieve the Bethausians at the time when the Imperials gained strong military commanders in the guise of Quenminese Marshal Mạc Hiếu Quang. Most historians have credited his emphasis on fast mobile tanks, motorised infantry, self-propelled artillery, and tactical aircraft as having perfected the Blitzkrieg tactic. He is also regarded as the Father of the Erebonian Armoured Force.
