In the post-[[Blackout]] years, he earned ribbons for combat twice, once for fighting copper miners on Ventrale in [[3132]], and again for helping fend off a possibly [[Jacob Bannson]]-funded mercenary attack on the same continent. Along the way, he gained a reputation as somewhat of a womanizer, at least until he found a deeper relationship with journalist [[Hanna Leong]].<ref name=TRoPc1/><ref name=TRoPc2/> By April [[3133]] he planned to resign his commission and move on to civilian life.<ref name=TRoPc1/> + == Character History == + Through training and perseverance, Dale was able to rise through the ranks of the [[1st Cossack Lancers|First Cossack Lancers]], the personal bodyguard of the governor, and become a Lieutenant.

He did not have much chance to investigate, though. On 16 April, Governor [[Sergio Ortega]] placed the First Cossack Lancers under the legate's command, merging them into the legate's [[Mirach Home Guard]]. Two days later, while participating in the Lancers' final training exercise before dispersion, Dale was himself assassinated on Elora's command, his death made to look like an accident.<ref>''The Ruins of Power'', ch. 9-14</ref>+ With his love dead from a tragic "accident," Dale went on a spree proclaiming that she died because of information that she knew<ref>''The Ruins of Power'' p. 64</ref>.
