@Blake was not in the first Paradoxian War. I recruited him during The Post Paradoxian War but later found out that he'd previously been EITC a very long time ago and then took several precautions in promoting him to any status of respectable power. He got upset and left and joined the British near the end of The Post Paradoxian War. He wasn't a veteran of either one. He returned to the game after a long leave of absence right near the end of the second war. You can say he was a veteran of the Third War of French Succession. (Invasion of Ireland, etc.)
