History

Early Years

Declan was born, most probably, at Northwind. without his father, he grew with his brother James Casey, which enlisted in the military, but was killed by the Steel Wolves in 3134. Declan, before that, had enlisted too, and in 3135 he was already a soldier in the Northwind Military Academy, where he was during the second Steel Wolves' attack.[1]

In a later date, he joined the command staff of the Highlanders, specializing himself in counterintelligence, a task he was well suited.[2]

In some date prior to 3150, he became a MechWarrior, raising to the rank of Lieutenant. He joined the Centurions, a battalion of the newly formed defense unit of Northwind, the Twelfth Hastati Sentinels.[3]

Battle of Northwind

IlClan Era

Declan stayed in Northwind to defend the planet, and during a few months, the defenders drive off a half dozen of attacks of Capellan-sponsored mercenaries. During one against Whirlwind Strikers, his Marauder II was damaged and had to replace it by a Yu Huang. The 14 July 3151, he was in a fight, defending Tara against an attack from another mercenary group called Waxie Dargle. He downed a Rook, but had to let another similar 'Mech get inside the city, keeping guard. Later, he aided his Colonel Bonnie Reid to face a Dargle Sphinx. When she ordered him to let it go, he argued about that, but not too much. While she retreated to a droport to receive a Republic's DropShip, Casey stay on guard. Later, he suffered another mercenary attack and asked for reinforcements.[4]

Relationships

Declan was very near with his grandfather, who appears to have replaced his father. He also appears to have deeply felt his brother's death, as he refused to talk about him.[5]

BattleMech

Declan's first 'Mech was a Marauder II. The second, which he was forced to use after 3151, was a capellan-captured Yu Huang.[6]
