Jörg Von Hornisse

Jörg Von Hornisse was the 3rd Master Commander of the Latherian Army and grandson of the famed Johan Von Hornisse. He is most famous for pressuring the sitting Latherian Emperor into adopting the "Tolerance Edict of 582."

Military Career
Jörg Von Hornisse is credited with the creation of the Latherian Reserve fleets system, essentially creating fleet army groups 9-12. He largely spent his career living within the shadow of his grandfather, and never saw a combat command as Master Commander.

The Tolerance Edict
With the Latherian Church acting to dispossess the minority practitioners of the Holistic Church following the secession wars, many within military command were placed under increased scrutiny. After the repression of his close confidant, and adviser Hans Vostich, Jörg decided to force action. He threatened to effectively destroy the military to force the Emperor to limit the church's power in some way.

The edict effectively allowed members of the Holistic Church under Latherian Jurisdiction to request military trials as opposed to civilian ones, lessening church influence on all their relations to the legal system.
