Abner

First, in plain English

Saul's cousin, and the commander of his army. When Saul died he did not stop: he kept the war going between David and what was left of Saul's house.

Who this is

Abner was Saul's cousin and the commander of his army, and after Saul's death Abner kept the war between David and Saul's house going for years by installing Saul's surviving son Ish-bosheth as a rival king. Abner eventually defected to David's side after a personal insult from Ish-bosheth, but Joab, David's own general, murdered him in revenge for killing Joab's brother in an earlier battle, a killing David publicly mourned and condemned even though it benefited him politically.
