{{Quote|If we are to have peace, then we must fight for it!|Colonel Austin}}
'''Colonel Austin''' is a protagonist of the ''[[Battalion Wars (series)|Battalion Wars]]'' series, and a colonel of the [[Western Frontier]] forces.


{{quote|If we are to have peace, then we must fight for it!|Colonel Austin|}}
==Background==
Colonel Austin is diplomatic and a master strategist; however, he can sometimes become too fixated on details and planning. If it were only Austin leading the [[Western Frontier|Frontier]] forces, the army would grind to a perfectly organized halt. Luckily, working with [[General Herman]] prevents this.


==In ''Battalion Wars''==
In the earliest events of the game, Colonel Austin, along with [[General Herman]] and [[Brigadier Betty]], are having their troops practice their combat routines on the grounds of a [[Western Frontier|Frontier]] boot camp. Herman is not satisfied with the practice maneuvers, believing that the troops have gotten out of shape from the constant peace. He soon gets his chance to fight, when a [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] spy is spotted near the grounds. The Frontier forces mobilize against the Tundran invaders for a time, but call a ceasefire with [[Marshal Nova]] after [[Countess Ingrid]]'s surprise Bomber attack, forming the [[Alliance of Nations]] to deal with the [[Xylvania]]n threat.


<b>Colonel Austin</b> is a protagonist of the {{series|Battalion Wars}} series, and colonel of the [[Western Frontier]] forces.
With the new alliance, the [[Western Frontier|Frontier]] and [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] armies are forced to work together. This is best shown by Austin and Tundra's [[Major Nelly]]. Former enemies, Nelly quickly warms up to the colonel. The fact that both officers fail to make a re-appearance in [[Battalion Wars 2|the second game's]] main story may be because they left the armed forces in order to wed.

==Trivia==
* No reason is given for Austin's disappearance between the events of the two games. However, as he and [[Major Nelly]] had seemed to develop a relationship after the [[Alliance of Nations]] was formed, they may have left to get married.
* In the early stages of development, Colonel Austin's character was originally meant to be of Caucasian descent. This was later changed to portray him as African instead.
