She often used her looks to obtain what she wanted or needed, using and discarding the men in her orbit.<ref name=MDADPC63 /> ===Becoming a MechWarrior=== While it was unknown how someone of Kelly's disadvantaged background was able to become a MechWarrior, it was speculated that she was trained by a former lover who was either a mercenary or [[Solaris VII]] gladiator, due to her desire to acquire a lucrative trade.<ref name=MDADPC63 /> ===Band of Five=== With the Band of Five, who were known for its violence and savagery, Kelly fit right in.

This parade of 'Mechs reflected Kelly's attitude to both her equipment and to her lovers, as disposal assets to be discarded once something better came along. The ''Centurion'', which Kelly named ''Fury'' and which had the [[BattleMech Serial Numbers|serial number]] FS779-00P, was initially piloted by a [[Federated Suns]] MechWarrior during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. It was credited with the defeat of a Lyran ''[[Zeus]]'' on [[Kathil]], after a hide and seek battle in woodlands, outside of [[Yare]]. The 'Mech remained on Kathil during the [[Word of Blake Jihad]], where it saw action against the [[Word of Blake]], before its pilot joined [[Devlin Stone]]'s drive on [[Terra]].<ref name=MDADPC63 /> Kelly subsequently replaced ''Fury'' with a VTR-U1-M ''[[Violator]]'', which she called ''The Beast'', and whose [[Mining Drill|drill]] she enjoyed using on her enemies.<ref name=MDADPC366 /> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards]]'' [[Category:Mercenary Characters|Kelly, Cynthia]]
