Av Weaver was a trueborn member of Clan Smoke Jaguar, and later one of the founding members of the Fidelis.
History
Av Weaver reached the rank of Star Captain and won a Weaver (Bloodname). However, his long career mustn't have been impressive, as, after reaching the old age, was assigned to command a Binary of the Forty-seventh Garrison Cluster, assigned to Wayside V before 3054.[1]
As the planet hadn't an HPG, he and his garrison ignored his Clan's de facto annihilation during Operation BULLDOG. They didn't knew what happened until the 12 August 3061, when a little fleet arrived on system. At his command was the former Jaguar Paul Moon and Baldur. After seven years without news, he and his people were devastated by the news, and scandalized to knew than the newly arrived didn't want to restore their Clan, but to preserve its essence. His subordinates Star Commander McLean Hoyt and Reed Bowen, pointed the difficulties they will find. However, without alternatives, Av welcomed Moon and his people and agreed to try.[2]
However, the opportunity to fight again presented in a few months: the 25 May 3062, a Clan Goliath Scorpion's force arrived on system, led by Galactic commander Rik Myers, obsessed with absorbing what remained of the Jaguars. A battle plan was draw, and it required a delaying action. As Weaver and his Binary weren't settling well in the colony, they were chosen to fight in what amounted to little more than a suicide battle. Baldur was put on command of the Binary. Naturally, Av was enraged and asked for a Trial of Grievance, but Baldur convinced him to don't do it. Moved by his words, he submitted to his authority. The Battle of the Straits, the 2 June, was fought in a narrow part Strait, with the Binary forming a line. During the battle, Weaver was so impressed by Baldur's courage than he claimed than he wasn't already a Nova Cat, but a Smoke Jaguar.[3]
The battle was a victory, but a highly costly one: only Weaver and two of his former Jaguar's warriors survived. Paul Moon later claimed than he had cheated death with a tenacity comparable to Baldur's, though the later died in a hospital. There are no more references about Weaver, but he must have become one of the founders of the Fidelis.[4]
