Rank/Role Insignia
The GODSQUAD OPTIO insignia is inspired by the original feathered helmet crest of the ancient Roman equivalent of today's U.S. Army first sergeant. OPT members are HLLTC sergeants (or NCOs).
An important part of Roman military regalia, the crest (worn broadside or ear-to-ear on top of the helmet) helped not only distinguish these important leaders but made them easy to spot on the battlefield. The feathered plume was an object of great pride and has been reintroduced into the HLLTC's rank/roles system for the same purpose.
