Colonel Baxter Arbuthnot was the Commander of Wolf's Dragoons Epsilon Regiment from at least 3025 to 3028.[1][2][3]

History

Arbuthnot was the brother-in-law of Beta Regiment's Captain Tony Ziulkovski, but the two men were not close, due to a family quarrel in 3021.[4]

During the Dragoons' campaign on Hesperus II in 3019, Arbuthnot was a major commanding one of Epsilon Regiment's battalions under Colonel Harold Jones, taking over the regiment on at least a temporary basis after Jones' death during that battle.[5]

Later, as of 3028, Arbuthnot was described as thin and balding with a reedy voice. He was nevertheless respected by most of his men, capable of going into a fearsome rage when pressed. His loss on Harrow's Sun during the 3028 Fifth Battle of Harrow's Sun was mourned by all.[2][3]
