A company of the 95th under Major Dunnett is being sent to search for him, and Sharpe’s first assignment is to command the Chosen Men, a handful of sharpshooters attached to the company.
Sharpe, still uncomfortable in his new rank, does not make a good impression on his men, particularly their unofficial leader, Irishman Patrick Harper.
From "Sharpe’s Rifle": In 1809, Sir Arthur Wellesley, the commander of the British army fighting the French in Portugal, is saved from three pursuing French cavalrymen by Sergeant Richard Sharpe of the 95th Rifles. Wellesley rewards Sharpe with a field commission to Lieutenant.

Sharpe is a swashbuckling period drama series about a British officer fighting during the Napoleonic Wars starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, and Daragh O’Malley as his second in command, Patrick Harper.
Sharpe is gradually promoted through the ranks, finally becoming a lieutenant colonel in Sharpe’s Waterloo. He is described as being six feet tall, having an angular, tanned face, black hair, and blue eyes. He has "a slash of a scar on his cheek that gave him a broodingly savage face."
