History[edit]

Gordon West was a mercenary MechWarrior from some time, but as he was too independent, that life ended up being unbearable for him. His next stop were the Solaris Games. He knew he was lacking the skills to be a real contender in a 'Mech, but he discovered he had talent for management. This was not enough as he can be described as a nice guy in a nasty business: he could not make his way to the top as he was not going to step on his competitors or to flight off the various underworld elements that wanted a piece of his action. This made his stables come and go, and shot his reputation. He jumped at the change to be the stablemaster of the Seven Deadly Sins Stables, despite the mysterious circumstances of his employer's arrival and the unusual terms of his contracts.[1]
