Hanssen Månsdottir was an officer of the Free Rasalhague Republic.[2] [1]

History[edit]

The only son of the Överbefälhavare of the KungsArmé, despite his talent as a MechWarrior Hanssen Månsdottir constantly struggled with the political repercussions of his father's actions and accusations of nepotism throughout his career in the KungsArmé. Hanssen tried to silence them as he best knew by leading a lance of assault BattleMechs to successfully defeat pirates and raiders alike.[2] [1]

By the time of the Clan Invasion Hanssen Månsdottir had reached the rank of kapten, still dogged by rumors of nepotism, until his assault company faced off against Clan Wolf, Månsdottir leading from the front. His success against the hated invaders led many to expect he would soon receive a promotion to major as soon as a suitable command was available.[2]

He would get it when his father chose to reform the famous First Tyr as a symbol of of the Republic's survival and rebirth, accusations of bias on the part of his father when he was selected offset by Hanssen's talent in battle and the fact the Överbefälhavare's first choice, Överste Rhett Weaver, refused to leave the Second Freemen. Under his command the First Tyr were trained by Överste-Löjtnant Månsdottir to carefully place units on their flanks and rear to defend against faster and more mobile opponents, allow them to bring the firepower of several assault 'Mechs tob bear against any flanking attackers.[1]

BattleMechs[edit]

Early in his career Hanssen Månsdottir piloted at ZEU-7S Zeus, by the time of the initial Clan Invasion he piloted a customized AS7-S Atlas which included TAG to allow him to conduct his own lancemates' indirect missiles along with his own as he advanced into the fray against Clan Wolf.[2]

Notes[edit]

  • By 3062 the command lance of the First Tyr's first company consisted of captured Clan OmniMechs, but no mention is made if Hanssen Månsdottir piloted one and if what 'Mech.[1]
