The Commander

The Commander is the de facto leader of the Research Commission in Monster Hunter: World and subordinate to the Admiral.

The Commander embodies many virtues that make a good leader: steadfast, confident in his team's abilities, receptive to new ideas, and just the right amount of bold. He is the cornerstone of the Research Commission; although technically subordinate to the Admiral, everyone in Astera looks to the Commander for leadership.

He is the grandfather of the Field Team Leader, Brian Phillips.
