Jorges Koffler was an Astech and MechWarrior, serving in the Eridani Light Horse's Shockwave Lance, from at least 3132 to 3134.[1][2]

Personal Appearance[edit]

Koffler had brown hair and gray eyes. He was known for his sense of humor, including routine harmless pranks.[1]

History[edit]

A resident of Woodstock, Koffler was a local Astech and LoaderMech pilot, who was known for being a charismatic and naïve class clown. After the Blackout, he was recruited by the Eridani Light Horse's Shockwave Lance who was garrisoning the world under contract to the planetary government, as additional support while they were cut off from the rest of their unit.

Provided with a MiningMech hastily acquired from a local mining facility, Koffler's mirth-making was great for unit morale, but his cavalier attitude in battle troubled his superiors. Viewing his life action-comedy holovid, Koffler suffered heavy damage to his 'Mech in his early fights, only be saving by his quick reflexes and his lancemates. Though once he had been hit in battle Koffler did become more serious, due to his deficiencies, it was unclear if the Light Horse would keep him in such a dangerous combat role if circumstances improved.[1][2]

BattleMech[edit]

Koffler piloted a Ground Pounder MiningMech MOD, serial number DVM-26C-13067, nicknamed Hole Puncher. Koffler's preferred tactics with this 'Mech, was to use the terrain to get into close range with his enemies, to allow him to use its Pile Driver.[1][2]
