Joshua Glasgow (January 29, 1754 in Edinburgh - May 18, 1801 in Koningstad) was a military general and is mostly known for his role in the Invasion of Brunant.

Early life
Glasgow was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on January 29, 1754 to poor farmers Humphrey and Isabella Glasgow. He learned to shoot at a very early age, and was well known as a teenager for being extremely well with a musket. In fact, he was so good that his father sent him to the London Military Academy at the early age of 16. He soon graduated in 1774.

Early miltary career
After graduting military academy at the age of 20, Glasgow decided to join a small, but powerful mercenary group called the Red Britannia. He quickly went up the ranks to a major general, and later on went to become the leader of the mercenary group. After 3 years of being in the Red Britannia group as their leader, he resigned and decided to enroll in the Royal British Army. He didn't as quickly go up the ranks there, but soon enough he became a major general. In 1779, Glasgow decided to go to America to fight in the Revolutionary War. He won a lot of battles, though most of them were small skirmishes. Once the war ended in 1781, he returned to being leader of the Red Britannia.

Invasion of Brunant
After a few years of fighting some minor mercenary groups for money, Glasgow was hired by James Carrington to fight in Brunant. He decided to move to Koningstad, since it would bring him more adventure. Once there, he became one of the best generals of the invasion. The only two people who were even close to his amazing strategy was Peter Lewis and John MacRiley, two Irishmen who were really good cavalry leaders. But Glasgow's tactical strategy was genius, and his soldiers' morale was up the roof. After winning the invasion, Carrington knighted Glasgow and gave him the county of Donderstad to rule over.

Coup of 1800
Things were going normal in Brunant until Adrian II and Markoos Willem planned an arrest of Carrington. When Carrington was arrested, he was one of the many people that freed Carrington. But after he freed his friend, Glasgow kept getting death threats from Dutch merchants who hated Carrington. But he didn't listen to any one of them, which one of them led to his death.

Death
Glasgow was kidnapped by a hired hitman and later on beaten, cut, and hung in the center of Koningstad. He tried to defend himself, but he didn't have any weapons and the hitman had a knife which he used to cut off Glasgow's feet and tongue. Carrington was so sad that he wrote a small speech:

Should not we all learn from this? That a man of distinct manpower has been killed and hung in the center of this fair city? We should, and we will."''

Personal life
Glasgow married Mary Thomas Gridna in 1774. He had 3 kids: Kevin Harold Glasgow, James Garvin Glasgow, and Maria Hunts Glasgow.
