John Waco was the only known son of Wayne Waco, and a MechWarrior in his father's mercenary command, the Waco Rangers.
History
Death
John's BattleMech was destroyed in battle on the planet New Aragon in 3008, facing Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion. John Waco was surrounded by a lance of Dragoon BattleMechs focusing fire on his Wasp until it was destroyed. Fortunately, John was able to eject and hide from the enemy 'Mechs, but he would not last for long. As one of the Ranger's Mechs spotted the young MechWarrior, they made a quick dash to save him. However a Dragoon Stalker decided to engage the 'Mech trying to save John, and unable to see the downed pilot, ironically, for the smoke ignited by John's lance, inadvertently crushed him under foot, killing the young Waco instantly.[1]
Legacy
John's death was investigated by ComStar, who cleared the Dragoons of any wrong-doing. The Dragoon's history rarely shows cold-blood killing, so his death was, almost certainly, an accident. But his father refused to accept this fact: he declared a vengeance against the Dragoons. Wayne's hate toward the Dragoons never ceased, and fought his personal war against the group at any occasion he had. He Even made what he called "Death Oath" against the Dragoons, sworn to kill any Dragoon his forces captured. [2] At the end, Waco succeed to avenge his son, when in 3067, lead a mercenary force, probably under orders (and paid by the Word of Blake) to assault Dragoon homeplanet of Outreach, where he managed to fatally wound Jaime Wolf... but at a high cost: he was killed too, and the Rangers were annihilated in the battle.[3]
BattleMech
John Waco was piloting a Wasp BattleMech at the time of his death.
