History

Born Geoffrey Heuaventas, he discussed with his father and joined ComStar. At some point he changed his name to Geoffrey Zucker. He stopped contacting his father after the split, and unbeknownst to his father joined the Word of Blake.

He was along the WoB forces that invaded Terra in 3059.

He appeared on the news feds on Epsilon Eridani.

Heuaventas was assigned to the assist in the Third Transfer on New Avalon, as part of the Blakist fleet and in landing forces to ceremonially parade the Second Star League colors. When news of the sudden disbandment of the Second Star League reached him, he erupted in anger towards the Steiner-Davions; though he was in not agreement with attacking Federated Suns citizens, instead of the politicians behind the decision, he followed Alexander Kernoff's orders.

Siege of New Avalon

First Battle for New Avalon

See more details on First Battle for New Avalon

During the firsts weeks of combat in New Avalon he witnessed the bombardment of the NAIS and the decimation of the New Avalon Cavaliers and the 2nd NAIS Cadet Cadre after which his unit, the 31st Division mopped up the survivors. Then there were several weeks that were just a mess of hot-drops on target, dodging WoB own bombardments, and the Davions, all in Level III bite-size packages which left him very tired until finally WoB forces had to retreat to space because of attrition.

Second Battle for New Avalon

He fought the full Second Battle for New Avalon chaffing under the inept leadership of Precentor Adler Geist, who treated the 31st Division no better than mercenaries under WoB employ.

On 3070 he describes how the WoB forces are eating thanks to the food they get from New Avalon itself and the military suppliers they took from Davion forces. He also complains on his work duties on the prison-ships, as working there makes he change how he is. He also rants about the new habit of some WoB operatives that pose as traitors to the cause to see if they are challenged or denounced and otherwise brand as traitors those targets, who then are imprisioned. He thinks this is bad for morale. It is around this days that even though it seems to ground forces are available to complete the mission, the WoB forces receive a WarShip, the Eagle-class Mordred still with Free Worlds League paint on it.

Third Battle for New Avalon

See more details on Third Battle for New Avalon

In November 3071 Geoffrey would lead Blakist forces in an assault on Avalon City.

He was there when the 5th FedCom RCT nuked the Red Angel, but also there when the 44th Shadow Division and Bronson's Horde showed up, a last effort by The Master to take New Avalon. He liked though feared Avitue and despised the way the commander of Bronson's Horde and Precentor Adler Geist behaved around her, while liking how his commander, Precentor Terry McQuinn did. On the 10th of December 3072 he was preparing for the assault in his new 'Mech, one he had only used in simulators. He liked the plan, and it reminded of the first one drafted on 3067 to take New Avalon.

BattleMechs

During the New Avalon campaign Geoffrey would pilot a LGC-03 Legacy.
