Josh Vorsythe was the hero of the Capellan Commoners who incited rebellion against the rule of Duchess Karis So.[1]
History
Sometime in the early thirty-first century, residents were becoming restless and insolent with Duchess Karis So, frequently calling for appeals to any political issue she was involved in. When some rebels took up arms on the world of Bora, Duchess So hired a mercenary company to raze their base to the ground to make an example of their disobedience. This had the opposite effect of further emboldening the rebels: Josh Vorsythe, a local peasant of Ovan, rose up and became known as the "man of the people" by acquiring a lance of BattleMechs and openly questioning the duchess' rule.[1]
Duchess So had Vorsythe eliminated to prevent dissention from spreading throughout the duchy. A martyr to the end, he proclaimed there was nothing the duchess could throw at them that could break their will.[1]
