Mercury

Mercury is the horse of Colonel Andrew Lawrence Keane. He rode Mercury during the American Civil War, and then throughout the wars of the Yankees against the Hordes of Valdennia.

Although Mercury generally did not like to be ridden by another other than Keane, a significant exception was when the young Rus soldier Gregory was given Mercury to pass on news of the army's survival during the defence of Roum against the Cartha.

According to Keane's son, 'Mercury was the only horse he ever knew that had brains'.
