==History==
 
==History==
Ajax, which was named by his fathers in honor of the namesake greek hero, grew up in the [[Capellan Confederation]] and joined [[Warrior House Hiritsu]], fighting with them for ten years.<ref name=MEp162>''Main Event'', p. 162</ref> After becoming burned-out with a life of unrelenting hate against the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the lack of honor, and the constant losses in frontal attacks, when his unit was posted on [[No Return]], he defected with his ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]]. He informed his superior officer of his intentions, and his commander, also a veteran like him, gave him a day before denouncing him to his superiors, and Ajax was outside the planet by then.<ref>''Main Event'', pp. 162–163</ref>

Ajax grew up in the [[Capellan Confederation]].

Once in [[Outreach]], he searched an able and honorable mercenary unit to join them. In 25 September [[3054]], he chose [[Captain]] [[Jeremiah Rose]], talking him in private. His experience impressed Rose, which allowed to join the Black Thorns, though Ajax, for fear of capellan persecution, refused to participate into a drill the next day due to his characteristic 'Mech.<ref name=MEp163>''Main Event'', p. 163</ref>
 
 
 
Ajax was placed in the pursuit (a.k.a. Recon) lance.<ref name=MEp165> ''Main Event'', p. 195</ref>  An excellent scout, he filled his role as lance commander effortlessly.  In the fighting on [[Borghese]], his lance commander [[Angus Lochart]] was killed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces.<ref name=MEp309>''Main Event'', p. 309</ref> After the death of the lance's commander, Ajax assumed temporary command, refusing formal promotion, though he eventually accepted it, more out of respect for Rose than brom believing he deserved it, being promoted to [[lieutenant]].<ref name=DRTp113>''D.R.T.'',  p. 113</ref><ref>''The Black Thorns'', p. 14</ref>
 
  
Later, the Black Thorns took a contract with the [[Draconis Combine]] to garrison [[Wolcott]].<ref name=DRTp45>''D.R.T.'' p. 45</ref> During this time, they took on a mission to raid [[Courchevel]] and went up against [[Clan Nova Cat]].<ref name=DRTp111> ''D.R.T.'' pp. 111–114</ref> Ajax survived the costly fighting there.<ref name=DRTp226> ''D.R.T.'' p. 266 </ref>
