Daniel Mattlov (b.27??-28??) was one of the four founders of Clan Jade Falcon[1]. He was a fighter pilot in the SLDF who trained hard, also becoming a highly skilled mechwarrior in order to not be left out of Operation Klondike after an injury left him grounded from aerospace duty.

History
Early Life
Daniel Mattlov was born on the world of Caph, in the Terran Hegemony. He was the second son of the Duke of Caph[2].
Instead of settling into politics or business or some other suitable role for a young nobleman, he rebeled against familly convention and joined the Star League Defense Force.
Star League Service
Graduating with honors from the Flight Academy of Graham, Daniel Mattlov flew with the elite fighter wing of the 11th Royal Battlemech Division.
A top pilot, he was haughty and abrasive, earning many reprimands for poor behavior, mostly due to fighting. Not a bully or brute, Daniel Mattlov simply would not tolerate any insult to his unit, commanding officer or to the SLDF itself, being very willing to express his fierce loyalty with his fists[3].
After seeing duty in the periphery with General Aleksandr Kerensky's forces during the New Vandenberg Uprising, Mattlov went on to fight in the reconquest of the Hegemony, making ace an astounding ten times over. He was also injured on five occasions, the last when he deliberately slammed his aerofighter into a column of Amaris mechs on his homeworld of Caph[3].
Exodus and Rise of the Falcon
While the recovery from his extensive injuries was a slow process, Daniel Mattlov was ready by 2784 and the subsequent Exodus from the Inner Sphere, though he could barely walk. Medical records from the early Pentagon Worlds show that he still piloted his aerofighter against doctor's wishes<ref name=JFSp12>.
A diehard supporter of Aleksandr Kerensky, that devotion was transfered to Nicholas Kerensky when the father died in 2801. He made the second exodus with Kerensky to the clan Colony Worlds. When he found out he was to be left off the roster for Operation Klondike, he confronted Nicholas Kerensky with his command staff and challeneged them, saying that he was capable of piloting a mech as good as any of them. Suitably impressed by this display warrior desire, he allowed Daniel Mattlov to train and test to pilot a mech in the upcoming operation. More importantly, he had secured his name in the 800 who would have their genes passed on in the clan eugenics program.
