In [[3041]], Fritz was a major in the Warriors when a coup was launched within the unit to return the group's control to the members of [[House Cirion]]. The coup failed, and as Donner had remained loyal to Federation President [[H. R. McIntyre|H. R. "Little Bob" McIntyre]], he was installed as its commander and promoted accordingly. Colonel Donner led the Black Warriors between [[3058]] and [[3064]] per "Little Bob's" wishes.

An expert tactician, he was key in turning the Warriors' fortunes with many successful raids during more than two decades with them. As he wasn't an original Warrior, he faced numerous challenges to his authority, especially as the unit’s commander. In spite of this, he managed to remain in command until his benefactor’s death.<ref name=FM:Pp102/><ref>''The Periphery, 2nd Edition''</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 100</ref>

When "Little Bob" died of a Heart attack, his son [[Calvin McIntyre]] would take the Presidency of the Circinus Federation along with more [[Word of Blake]] support. Because of this, Colonel Donner chose to flee along with most of the other Black Warriors after halting an invasion of the Federation against the [[Marian Hegemony]]. Unfortunately for him, the [[Manei Domini]] tracked down and captured Fritz Donner several months later.

On 22 January [[3073]], Donner was scheduled to testify at a summit on [[Arc-Royal]] called by [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] on fighting against the Blakists; as Donner approached several dignitaries, a suicide bomb grafted to Donner's skeleton detonated, killing Donner and many of the delegates, including the Khan of the Ghost Bears. As a direct result, the effort to fight the Blakists by the various nations of the [[Inner Sphere]] was temporarily derailed. Even so, the bombing infuriated Clan Ghost Bear, who saw such a dishonorable tactic as a valid reason to launch a savage campaign against the Blakists.{{cn}}
