Before fighting for a larger cause under their commanding General Jandar, the 4th Massachusetts line had endured many harsh battles. During their training back in New England, the most important lesson they learned from their Brigadier General John Glover was to save their ammunition by waiting until they could see the whites of the enemies' eyes. Although this patient fighting strategy has taken years to perfect, the 4th Massachusetts Line is known to wreak havoc on approaching enemies with their wait and fire technique.
They are most comfortable when in the company of other valiant allies, who remind them of their old commander General George Washington. For this reason they prefer to fight with other Valiant Heroes such as their new friend Drake Alexander, or Finn and his brother Thorgrim the Viking Champions. It was not until meeting Sergeant Drake Alexander in Valhalla that these men learned that their old cause had been won due to their sacrifices and discipline under General Washington. Now they have rallied behind the new and greater cause of securing the wellsprings and helping Jandar in the Battle of all time.[1]

History[]
On earth, the 4th Massachusetts Line served under Brigadier General John Glover as well as George Washington. At some point they were summoned by the Valkyrie Jandar into Valhalla, where they would meet Sgt. Drake Alexander in Jandar's northern army and learn that they had indeed won the war in their time.
At some point they crossed paths with the kyrie historian Thormun, who thought of them later when beholding Einar's 10th Regiment of Foot in Lindesfarme.[2]
While on a mission to Upper Bleakwoode, several of them would be ambushed by Utgar's Deathstalkers.[3]
