Carl Icaza (b. 27??-28??) was one of the four founders of Clan Jade Falcon. Formerly an infantry Colonel with the Star League Defense Force, he would become instrumental in the training of all of the Clans prior to Operation Klondike, at the behest of Nicholas Kerensky[1].
History
Early Life
Carl Icaza was born Carl Benne on the world of Skye in the Lyran Commonwealth. As a youth, he had a liberal, rebellious bent that often left him at odds with the caste-bound society of his homeworld. Attending the prestigious Sanglamore Academy on Skye, he was expelled for attempting to unionize the maintenance staff[2].
He was in constant trouble with the dean, Lyran Count Donakowski, and things only worsened when he caught the attentions of a young daughter of a noble, one Geena Drallith. The attraction and passion being mutual to both parties, young Miss Drallith spurned Count Donakowski's advances. The Count was embittered by this rejection and did what he could to make their lives miserable[2].
That would soon be made very easy to do. Charges of treason were leveled on Carl Benne, and the Count Donakowski was to be the prosecutor. Carl was accused of passing senitive information to Terran Hegemony agents, charges that were in fact true[2].
Carl Benne served the next three years in prison. Geena had left for home long ago, crushed by the attention she had received during the trial. Upon parole, finding that he had nothing left in his life, he moved to the Terran Hegemony under the name Carl Icaza[2].
Star League Service
Attending the West Point Military Academy on Terra under his new name, Carl Icaza graduated an infantry Lieutenant after three years. He was assigned to the 889th Jump Infantry Regiment, attached to the 17th Jump Infantry Division, the Golden Talons[1].
Being stationed just outside the border of the Hegemony, his unit was able to assist several other units evacuating in the opening days of the Amaris Crisis in 2766. They were also involved with several probing raids against Amaris' troops while receiving negligible support from the Capellans, from whose worlds they were staging.
Carl Icaza was captured by Amaris' forces on Epsilon Eridani during an extraction/rescue of SLDF forces believed to be in the southern Diamond Mountains. It turned out to be a ruse by Amaris' forces and his unit was destroyed. Icaza was held for many years and endured horrible treatment and routine torture by his jailors[1].
