During the rebellion of 1707 under Lieutenant Major Swift's command Captain Argent fought on the frontlines along the Highland borders and after a drawn out and bloody battle he was gravely injured. His recovery was long and troubled, death seemed to be a likely end for the Captain. Memories of this time are vague, but the soldier did pull through. With the passing of summer and the end of the war Argent was told that due to his injuries he was not fit for combat and forced into retirement. Unbeknownst to Argent the medic tending to his injuries had botched his treatment leaving him with broken ribs that didn't heal correctly.
