History[edit]
Kevin McFadden was born in the Free Worlds League and served in the LCCC with the Second Knights of the Inner Sphere where he served until 3064 when he left for unknown reasons.
He arrived on Solaris VII that same year and quickly cemented a place with Bromley Stables as a gladiator. Given his extensive four-legged 'Mech experience he was tapped to act as a test pilot in the burgeoning relationship between VEST and Bromley stables.
In the most notable of three registered fights to date of the Great Turtle, he ran up against Ryn Nikolovich from Fitzhugh Stables and was able to beat her.[1] The superior-ranked Nikolovich simply could not wear away the mammoth armor protection of the Great Turtle quickly enough, and despite the new shield system in place on her upgraded Sasquatch, McFadden eventually cored through to the Witch Queen's gyro. McFadden ended the match with a third straight victory, sparking interest in the Great Turtle despite its extreme handicaps.[2]
Like many on Solaris, Kevin McFadden's fight name evolved from various sources and was coined by famous commentator Julian Nero:
- "Crimson" for the paint McFadden splashes haphazardly on his 'Mechs
- "Sir" for his ties to the Knights
- "Bryn" for his Gaelic heritage, because of his mountain-like immovability in the arena
Despite the fact that "bryn" actually means "hill", the name stuck.[2]
Though no official vendetta has been declared, Ryn's hate of MechWarriors with FWL affiliation is legendary, and a rematch is quite probable.[citation needed]
BattleMechs[edit]
He piloted a Sirocco during his years with the Knights.[2]
He piloted the first prototype of the Great Turtle once it was introduced.[2]
