LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-13 AT 09:58 PM (EDT)
Because I enjoyed doing this for Operation Archangel, because it's been a long time since the original S5 "Meet the Duelists" posts, and because Phil and I had already compiled the information (and I'd gone to the trouble of building the table) anyway, here is a handy cut-out-'n'-keep* guide to persons of note you may encounter in the course of Symphony No. 5's Third Movement, coming Soon™.--G.
* NOTE: Do not actually cut out and keep this guide. You'll wreck your monitor.
