−	Parkensen, after the victory, raised the Combine's flag over Wildcat Station.

	==Personality==		==Personality==
−	Parkensen's personality, during almost all Wayside's campaign, may be described as arrogant. Possibly influenced by the Combine's traditional hate of mercenaries, but also because his commands' previous losses had affected him. He always pointed out the problems in any plan and acted arrogantly, especially in battle, refusing help when he needed it, and never giving thanks when someone had saved his life. He appeared to have been actively searching for death. Only after the airfield attack did he begin acting more reserved. After the end of the Wayside campaign, however, he became more respectful of the Highlanders.<ref name=IoWEp/>	+	Parkersen's personality, during almost all Wayside's campaign, may be described as an arrogant bastard.
