Biography
Early life
Blake was born in Galesburg, a small town in North America. Very early, the child prodigy expressed an interest in engineering and subsequently became a loner of sorts, a social introvert as he spent much of his time studying. He graduated from the University of Lambrecht when he was only 16 years old.[3]
The Star League's lead technician
In 2766, Blake was in the Free Worlds League on holiday as Stefan Amaris launched his coup against the Star League. Afterwards, as the highest ranking technician of the few qualified technicians left, he volunteered to the Star League Defense Force to assist them, General Aleksander Kerensky assigning Blake and his handful of technicians underneath him to devise a method to utilize the remaining Class B HPG stations of the Inner Sphere not under Amaris' control. During the SLDF's Rim Worlds campaign, he established a makeshift Prime Circuit using the HPGs that Amaris did not control, becoming the main method of communication for the SLDF and the Great Houses.[4]
During Kerensky's campaign approaching Terra, Blake volunteered his technicians and himself to lead teams to reestablish communications in recaptured HPG stations, allowing for SLDF to manage their forces more easily during the offensives. During one operation, an HPG station was broken through to by Amaris' forces, and Blake took a wound to the head. He was not mentally lessened, but in his later life, he would lapse into short comas, presumably due to these injuries. Showing his respect for Blake, Kerensky had him treated aboard the McKenna's Pride, the flagship of the SLDF.[5]
HPG Network and Hegemony Reconstruction
After liberation of Terra and defeat of Amaris forces, Blake concentrated again on his task of restoring general communications in the Inner Sphere. Blake began construction on the Hilton Head HPG complex again, which had been overlooked by Amaris forces because the construction effort was abandoned and materials carefully concealed when Amaris began his coup.
