Duke Harrison Bradford was the commander of the 3rd Royal Guards during much of the 3050s
Contents
History
Bradford was a MechWarrior.[1] He was a Marshal in the AFFC, commanding the Third Royal Guards RCT from 3050 until at least 3057. During that time they were stationed on Port Moseby. In 3057 Archon-Prince Victor Steiner-Davion ordered Bradford to Northwind to restore order. He and rogue MIIO operatives Catelli and Lepeta engineered a plot to crush the Northwind Highlanders and secure more personal power. They failed, and that resulted in an independent Northwind. The Highlanders declined to prosecute Bradford for war crimes, and the Archon-Prince likewise declined to dismiss him due to a pressing need of field commanders, especially one so indebted to him. His fate is unknown, but the Third returned to LAAF rosters in time for Operation BULLDOG, and he is not recorded again. Victor received a china plate bearing Northwind's name with Bradford's epaulette resting on it.[2][3][4][5][6]
Bradford was a cigar aficionado and carried an expensive laser lighter. Before the Northwind debacle he had hoped to eventually retire from the AFFC to a diplomatic posting on some idyllic world.[7]
Notes
Because the Royal Guards are an exclusive membership organization, Bradford would have to be a native of the Tamar Pact. That might explain his later absence, if he returned to the Lyran Commonwealth/Alliance he would do so under the shadow of a losing military campaign and without the mitigation of being indebted to his liege lord.
