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].
