Sumner Johns was an abtakha warrior claimed from Clan Blood Spirit by Clan Wolf who served during Operation REVIVAL and the Refusal War.[1][2]

History[edit]

The Wolfman Cometh[edit]

Aerospace fighter pilot Sumner Johns was an abtakha warrior taken from Clan Blood Spirit, an insular Clan whose warriors often enact bondsref at first opportunity when captured, rarely serving their new Clan and making Johns a somewhat rare figure among the Clans.[3] Taken during a Trial of Refusal that the Blood Spirits would go on to lose, Johns would also lose his right arm during the fight. Waiving a medically-grown substitute limb, he would instead opt for a prosthetic arm shaped like a wolf's paw, right down to the fur and nails, though also equipped with dexterous human-like digits. This, coupled with the fact that he was a stout-bodied warrior who also sported a full beard, earned for him the fitting nickname "Wolfman."[1]

Operation Revival[edit]

Commanding what was considered to be one of the top aerospace fighter Binaries, Johns would surprisingly see little action during the invasion of the Inner Sphere. As part of the Wolves' Third Battle Cluster, he would fight at Lovinac and Planting, while backing up Beta Galaxy during major campaigns on Sevren and Kobe. He would go on to fight on Tukayyid, escaping the conflict without injury while helping his Clan to achieve its goals against the Com Guards.[1][4][5]

Refusal War[edit]

In September 3057, now Star Commander Sumner Johns led Trinary Echo of the 16th Battle Cluster on Sudeten when they faced off against Clan Jade Falcon's 8th Falcon Regulars, the Gyrfalcon Eyrie and the Gyrfalcon Solahma Clusters during the Refusal War.[2]

Aerospace Fighters[edit]

Sumnner Johns piloted a Jagatai prime OmniFighter, as of 3052.[5]
