Klankain Auchinleck (25 May 1890 - 15 April 1972) was a Zanarkian military commander during the First Europan War and then the Second Europan War. He is considered to be Zanarkand's leading field military commander during the two wars. He is also the patriarch of the Auchinleck family and his name would be used for five consecutive descendants. He is the great-grandfather of Klankain Auchinleck IV, the youngest military professor in the King's Military College of Brisbane and Claude John Auchinleck, One of Zanarkand's youngest generals as well as being one of the best to field.
In military history, He is known for having a rivalry with his former ally, Kiều Hữu Dương who he defeated in the last decisive Battle of Hanoi. Klankain retired from the Army after the signing of the Quenminese Surrender in the Sea of Quenmin aboard HMS Marlborough. Nonetheless, He was instrumental in re-establishing the Royal Quenminese Army due to the threat posed by the communist-turned Lorican Alliance. He voted his old rival to lead the army before he completely retired but was still capable of making decisions in the Zanarkian Army.
