Sepoys on the Sands of Egypt : An East India Company Unit for Silver Bayonet

Subedar Gaekwad (officer).
The wayward,  youngest son of a Maratha had few prospects at home and so joined the East India Company not only to make something of himself, but also with an eye on learning the military tactics of those who could one day threaten the supremacy of his family. When he heard of the campaign in Egypt and the chance to pursue the rumored harvestmen he quickly volunteered the use of his command to his grateful superiors. 

3 sepoys : 30 recruitment points.
Jiten, Hitul and Kavish are boyhood friends who grew up on the streets of Mumbai and joined the EIC as the pay on offer was better than any other they could get. They weren’t expecting to be sent to Egypt, but now they’re here they intend to get some ‘supplementary income’ without catching the eye of their commanding officers.

Nishka Massi: Highlander 18 recruitment points.
Everyone knows not to mess with an Indian Aunty and Nishka Massi is no exception. Much to their embarrassment, Jiten’s mother’s sister somehow managed to follow them to Egypt. No one is sure how. However she has become tolerated as she’s a fierce defender of the safety of her nephew, and all of his friends, and has proven her use on the battlefield time and time again. Not even the burden of her own baby son can stop her from accompanying the squad into the field.

Surgeon Jain : Doctor 10 recruitment points.

Joining the East India Company as a boy, Kamlesh Jain proved himself to be a quick learner and steadily worked his way through the medical corps. A vain man Dr Jain uses henna to dye his hair red, but there’s no one better to perform an amputation while under fire. 

Pandit Battula : Occultist: 20 recruitment points.
This learned holy man has been studying the epic Mahabharata for over 50 years and as such is an expert in Ancient verdic warfare and the usage of celestial weapons: the Astra and the Shastra. With great effort he can use the holy mantras to bestow any weapon with divine properties for a short time. 

Supernatural investigator: 22 recruitment points.

Ask around the Khan el-Khalili Souk in Cairo for somewhere to buy relics from the tombs of the Pharaohs and you’ll be directed to the small shop in a quiet alleyway. But the owner, Ameer Tadros, does not simply deal in fake trinkets for the unwary. In the back room there are crumbling papyrus scrolls containing the knowledge of the ancients. Ameer has read them all and is an invaluable ally in the fight against the harvestmen.
