Franklin Sakamoto was originally a smuggler for a Draconis Combine crime syndicate, Franklin overcomes his distrust of Adam Steiner to become one of the most valuable members of the Strikers, saving Prince Victor Steiner-Davion from an assassination attempt and becoming the first Inner Sphere BattleArmor trooper to destroy a Clan BattleMech. During his time with the Strikers it turns out that Franklin is the illegitimate son of Theodore Kurita, the ruler of the Combine. Because of this he gets caught up in an attempted coup against Kurita by the Black Dragon Society against his will. The plot fails, and Franklin renounces his claim to the Draconis throne to rejoin the Strikers. Franklin pilots Sloth BattleArmor, as well as AWS-9M Awesome and HTM-27T Hatamoto-Chi 'Mechs.[citation needed]
He was captured during the joint Second Sword of Light (Kokuryu-kai)/Sathen's Snipers assault of the Imperial Palace's Sanethia Kurita Parade Grounds, on New Year's Day, 3068.[1]
