He's a damn good sapper though...
Good point and interesting distinction. When he moved into Tavore's army post DG, it was as a veteran and a sargeant, as opposed to as a sapper.
And generally he spends more time trying to keep his squad alive than blowing things up (tho he's done that too, and real goodly - see 'drum' and 'Silchas' butt').
In fact, correct me if i'm wrong, but i think Fid's squad (Ranal doesn't count) has had no losses since we were intro'd to them in HoC, and considering the 7C ambushes, Yghatan, Malaz City and Leth, that's fairly impressive.
So aside from losing his sword back in the day, (which he did use more than once in DG without losing it), i'd say he's moved from being 'just' the godfather of sappers, to being a soldier in that noble, warrior of warriors, grunt in the trenches, sort of way.
And i realize this is just fueling the 'Fid is the Soldier of HHL' fire, but i'm still not jumping on that particular bandwagon.
- Abyss, hoo-ah.
