Im having trouble thinking up a good name for my General, I also want to think up a title (like Fang of the West, except not cliched).
A little description is this guy is a young but promosing General who is a tactical genius (his name is not CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED, okay). Thanks to his noble status he was given command of a small force in a battle, and distinguished himself by acheiving his objective (unknow) with no casulties. He is respected and known as a brilliant general, a decent fighter, and a fond lover of gunpowder and understands how war machines work (hence the abundance of cannons, mortars and other Empire Warmachines). His best friend is a Dwarfen noble who is currently heading the expansion into a new hold (it was bound to happen) with the General assisting their advance into the hold. He was born in Nuln, and is known for wearing black combat armor.
So any names and titles will be helpful, thanks.

Well with Empire its usually Germanish names and for a title how about the fire breath of Nuln

It sounded good in my head at least

**Valhallan42nd**

Kel von Graymere, Purger of Blackfire Pass

**Sanctus-Malas**

Fire breath of Nuln... Flame of Nuln...I feel a title brewing. I like the Greymere part of the name, I would prefer not to use a von in his name, my Grand Master Reicher von Cryth has that honour.
Edit:
I got it,
Greymere Helvaghast, The Blazing Hand of the Empire
