Point commander Ean was a trueborn aerospace pilot of Clan Jade Falcon, who would join the Clan Smoke Jaguar Protomech program.
History
In 3050 Ean was shot down on the planet Apollo, in the Jade Occupation Zone. He survived, but was wounded and hospitalized. When he recovers, he was acquainted with a freeborn native named, Dr. Vikram Khatri, from Hindu origins, who tells him the tale of Eagle King, Garuda and his fight against the Naga, a race of poisonous cobras.[1] At the beginning, Ean didn't want to hear it, but later ended enjoying the stories of doctor, and as Jade Falcon identified himself with Garuda. Ean never discovered the end of the legend, as Vikram had been relocated to another hospital. Ean's age made his clan send him to a solahma unit. His military career appeared to have ended, until a new opportunity arrived: Clan Smoke Jaguar declared a Trial of Possession by taking him, and other solahma aerospace pilots, as bondmen. After defeating them, they carried them to their homeplanet of Huntress. There, the Jaguars offered both Ean and their bondsman the chance to become warriors again, which Ean and his group accepted. When Task Force Serpent arrived and attacked the Jaguars, the opposition was already familiarized with Ean's ProtoMech: ironically, a Roc, a walking mythical bird. Ean received the command of a point of ProtoMechs, part of the unit Ocelot Star.[2]
As of 12 May 3060, Ean, piloting a Roc, partakes in the defense of the Pahn City Factory Complex on Huntress against forces from Task Force Serpent. During the battle, he fights the Legacy Grasshopper he associated to be a Naga. Ean was gravely injured in the fight by an explosion from a PPC of a Jaguar Warhammer IIC over which he was away from.[3]
Death
15 March 3060, Ean awoke in the jungle encampment of the last surviving Smoke Jaguar forces. He was informed that his point of ProtoMechs were annihilated in the battle, and he had been recovered unconscious from the battlefield. His injuries and nerve damage were crippling, but was only able to pilot a ProtoMech again for a short time. Enemy forces were massing for a new attack against Pahn as the Smoke Jaguars were desperate for warriors to defend. Ean was the only ProtoMech pilot left of the Jaguars. He willingly accepted the surgery for the chance to pilot his ProtoMech one more time, even if it would likely result in (more) brain damage and further degrade his personality. The same day, when the Jaguars assaulted the factory for ammunition, Ean fought his last battle. The transformation into a ProtoMech pilot affected his sanity, and he believed himself to be Garuda battling his mortal enemy, the Naga. "Reborn" as Garuda, he went to face the Naga (The Legacy Grasshopper) again. The fighting broke through the factory complex, until Ean was trapped in a open ground, by the 'Mech. He was implicitly killed by a discharge from the Legacy Grasshopper's large laser.[4]
Vehicles
It is unknown what class of fighters Ean piloted as a Jade Falcon, but as a Smoke Jaguar his machine was a Roc ProtoMech.
Notes
Ean appears to have been the last ProtoMech pilot to die in the battle of Huntress, and maybe even of his entire clan.
