Ion Murphy was a combat vehicle commander, who served within the Swordsworn's Davion Guards, during the Dark Age Era.[1]

Murphy had black hair and blue eyes.[1]

History[edit]

A native of Tikonov, and second generation descendant of First Davion Guards members, Murphy was a truck driver on his family farm prior to the Blackout. He would have remained in his peaceful profession, despite of the Blackout, except for the death of his cousin Cecil Murphy during the Battle of New Rhodes III.

A combat vehicle commander with the Swordsworn's Davion Guards, Cecil died just outside the capital city of Xerxes, while trying to resist an attack by Bannson's Raiders. Upon learning of Cecil's death to Jacob Bannson's "soulless corporate monsters", Ion enlisted with Duke Aaron Sandoval's splinter faction. While he did not have the skills to be granted a BattleMech slot, his drive for revenge was enough to earn a role in the Swordsworn's support branch.[1]

Vehicle[edit]

Murphy was known to have piloted a Danai support vehicle, serial number MC037-0012B, nicknamed "Cecil‘s Sword". Initially constructed for the Magistracy of Canopus, this vehicle was traded to the Capellan Confederation shortly after the end of the Word of Blake Jihad. Lost in turn to the Republic of the Sphere during the failed Capellan invasion between 3111 and 3113, it was assigned to the militia on Tikonov, before being taken by the Swordsworn.[1]
