History
Born into House Carlyle of Odessa, she was expected to join her family in their work of restoring the plague-ravaged world to its previous greatness. However, the Blackout, which fell on her first birthday, changed her future. As she grow into an Inner Sphere ravaged by war, Isobel rejected her father's pacifism and sought to emulate her grandfather Alexander Carlyle, a hero of the LCAF who fought in the Word of Blake Jihad and his parents, Lori Kalmar and Grayson Death Carlyle, founders of the mercenary Gray Death Legion. Isobel devoured every record of their exploits and made headbands and skull emblems, the symbol of the Legion, part of her attire.[3]
Isobel, or Bel, as she shortened her name, inspired by his grandfather Alexander, or Alex, followed his big brothjer's steps into the LCAF, enrolling in the Coventry Military Academy in 3147. There she excelled in both MechWarrior and anti-Mech infantry training programs, though she was disciplined in early 3148 by taking a squad of fellow cadets in unauthorized field exercises, to break up a criminal kangaroo-rustling operation. His brother Ronan testified in her favor. Isobel called her team Carlyle's Commandos, taking the name of his ancestor's early mercenary unit. The disciplinary hearing was interrupted by the attack of the Clan Jade Falcon, in the Battle of Coventry (3148). Bel was authorized to lead her Commandos in a flanking attack of First Falcon Striker Cluster, after they razed the town of Whitting. despite her attack being intended only a distraction, the Commandos disabled a Binary of Falcon 'Mechs using satchel charges, before they were forced to fall back. When the Falcon advance was driven back from the academy, the surviving members of Bel's company deployed with the rest of the Training Battalion to relieve the Lyran forces defending Coventry Metal Works' industriplex. Seeing her brother Ronan's Gauntlet threatened by Falcon Elementals, Bel led her Commandos into the fray, scattering the battle-armored troops and shoring up the Lyran defenders. Ronan congratulated Bel after the victory.[4]
After the Battle of Coventry ended, Bel joined her brother in the ranks of the 26th Arcturan Guards, after sahe graduated of the academy with honor in 3150, as a newly commisioned first lieutenant, in the Third's Battalion's second company, w2hich she still named Carlyle's Commandos.[5]
BattleMechs
During her time with the Twenty-sixth Arcturan Guards, Bel Carlyle piloted a Shadow Hawk dubbed "Tyche", apparently partly in homage to the legacy of "Boss Lady", the legendary Shadow Hawk piloted by her great-grandmother Lori Kalmar-Carlyle.[6] With the formation of the new Gray Death Legion on Garrison, Bel moved on to piloting a Hatchetman.[7]
