Naseem Mehyar was a junior officer in the Second Donegal Guards during their thousandth anniversary. He was close friends with fellow company commanders Greta Wellington and Greydon Brewer-Shaw, with whom he served in the unit's first battalion. He had a particular disdain for Hauptmann-General Fredrick Hogarth, which he was expressing when DBC reporter K. Madeline Schroeder appeared at a party celebrating the unit. Naseem attempted to defuse the situation until Madeline assured him that she had no intention of tattling on him, at which point he offered her a pick from the friends' stash of finger foods.

When Clan Jade Falcon attacked the anniversary celebration, Mehyar took command of the ad hoc parade lance, laying out a plan for he and Greta to pin the attackers between the two of them and the heavier 'Mechs in the lance. He also attempted to protect Kandersteg's capital city by invoking the Clan dueling code, though the Falcons ignored his challenge. Though he successfully downed an enemy Grendel, Mehyar's Griffin was badly damaged, which he feared would negatively impact his pending transfer to the Royal Guards. He then attempted to protect Greta's downed Gauntlet from an oncoming Cougar but had already lost most of his weapons.

Mehyar and Brewer-Shaw were ultimately saved by the arrival of Leutnant-General Arnaud Zardetto and Khan Patrik Fetladral leading a unit of Gürteltier MBTs. Though Mehyar's 'Mech was badly damaged, he was the only member of his lance to survive with a working 'Mech.

As part of the unit's anniversary parade, Naseem was assigned to pilot a Griffin on loan from the Royal Guards. The 'Mech was (somewhat dubiously) said to have protected Archon Peter Steiner-Davion on Guardian Duty.
