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.
