==History==
 
==History==
Justin Hall served as ''Ghost Knight'', alongside the [[Redburn Guards]] in Australia during the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]]. After [[Clan Wolf]] landed and seized Sydney and Melbourne, crushing the bulk of the defenders, Hall led a guerrilla war in nearby Perth, destroying a munitions depot and later a supply convoy. The Wolves answer was brutal: they tracked Hall's unit to the small settlement of Atitjere, and after ordering the population to evacuate, they razed the town. This put an end to Hall's campaign and signaled that any guerrilla action against the Clan would be severely punished.<ref name=HotWc5>''Hour of the Wolf'', ch. 5</ref> However, Hall survived and escaped to India.<ref name=ICp25>''IlClan'', p. 25</ref>

Justin Hall served as ''Ghost Knight'', along [[Redburn Guards]] during the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]], in Australia. There, after [[Clan Wolf]] landed, taking Sydney and Melbourne and crushed the bulk of the defenders, Justin led a guerrilla war nearby Perth, destroying a munitions depot and later a supply convoy. The Wolves answer was brutal: they tracked Justin's unit to Atitjere, a small settlement, and after ordering the population to evacuate it, they razed the town. This put an end to Hall's campaign and clearly signaled than any support to guerrilla against the Clan will be severely punished. However, Hall managed somehow to survive and escape to India.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 25,</ref>
  
Eventually, Hall was captured by the Wolves and was a prisoner when the war ended. After being freed, he was hated and blamed by everybody, being called "the destroyer of Atitjere." He heard about two former RAF soldiers, ex-major [[Jack Traver]] and [[Mia Fowler]], who had been captured by Clan Wolf and later joined them for some time before leaving. He found them in Toledo, America on 2 June [[3151]], asking to join them. He didn't want to serve another Great House and identified himself with them.<ref name=ODC/>

Eventually, Hall was captured by the Wolves, and ended the war as prisoner. After being freed, he was hated and blamed by everybody by his actions and Australia, calling him ''the destroyer of Atitjere''. After he heard about two former RAF soldiers, the ex-major [[Jack Traver]] and [[Mia Fowler]], which after being captured had joined Clan Wolf, fighting at the [[IlClan Trial]], and later left the Clan. He searched them, and the 2 June [[3151]], found them in Toledo, America. He presented himself, and asked them to let them join them. He didn't want to serve another Great House, and people hated and blamed him for Atitjere's destruction. He didn't blame them for having joined the Wolves, and even identified himself with them.<ref>''One Door Closes'' in ''Shrapnel#6'', p. 73,</ref>
  
Hall offered his talents as secret agent and promised to help them obtain funds. He organized a meeting in Cleveland with "Mr. Weatherbee," an [[MI6]] secret agent, which gave them all the info he had obtained on Terra for fifteen years, which they had to deliver into a [[Federated Suns]] embassy. On 6 June, the trio was on the way towards [[Galatea]] when they found out that the ''[[Atlas II]]'' they had obtained was, in fact, the [[Phantom (Individual BattleMech)|Phantom]][[Devlin Stone]]'s war machine. Hall felt it belonged in a museum.<ref name=ODC/>

The 6 June, the trio was in the way towards [[Galatea]], and he and Mia had uncovered than the ''Atlas II'' they had obtained, and assigned to Justin was, in fact, [[Phantom (Individual BattleMech)]], [[Devlin Stone]]'s war machine. Justin didn't wanted to pilot it, saying it belonged to a museum, but Jack pointed than the Wolves won't allow it.<ref>''One Door Closes'' in ''Shrapnel#6'', p. 81,</ref>
  
When the trio delivered Weatherbee's data to the Federated Suns' embassy on Galatea, Hall proved himself especially valuable, as his agent skills allowed him to understand the MI6 agent who interrogated them. The trio decided to found a new mercenary group called [[The Cheetahs]], in memory of a friend of [[Jack Traver]] and [[Mia Fowler]] who died on Terra.<ref name=ODC/>
+
Once in Galatea, nor Jack or Justin found any work: Galatea was filled with ex-RAF soldiers, and even there were dozens of people claiming to have been Knights, giving them a bad reputation, which obviously enraged Hall. When the trio delivered Weatherbee's data into the [[Federated Suns]]' embassy, Justin proved specially valuable, as his agent skills allowed him to understand the MI6 agent who interrogated them. When the trio decided to found a new mercenary group, Justin agreed to be part of it. Jack named them ''the Cheetahs'', in memory of a friend lost in Terra by Jack and Mia.<ref>''One Door Closes'' in ''Shrapnel#6'', p. 89,</ref>
