Red Rabbit character list

[Offroader]

I just finished reading TC’s excellent new book, Red Rabbit, and decided to post a character description list I wrote as I was reading the book. I hope it is of some use to anyone who starts reading the book.
It’s organized by country in order of appearance (first mentioned, first on the list), and the characters in every country are also organized by order appearance.
I know there are many mistakes and inaccuracies or incomplete information. Please help me correct this list, while we all wait for Mr. Clancy to publish his next book.
Semper fi!!
