Justin "Cloud" Hall was a thirty-second-century Ghost Knight of the Republic of the Sphere and later a mercenary.
History[edit]
Justin Hall served as Ghost Knight, alongside the Redburn Guards in Australia during the Battle of Terra. After Clan Wolf landed and seized Sydney and Melbourne, crushing the bulk of the defenders, Hall led a guerrilla war in nearby Perth, destroying a munitions depot and later a supply convoy. The Wolves answer was brutal: they tracked Hall's unit to the small settlement of Atitjere, and after ordering the population to evacuate, they razed the town. This put an end to Hall's campaign and signaled that any guerrilla action against the Clan would be severely punished.[2] However, Hall survived and escaped to India.[3]
Eventually, Hall was captured by the Wolves and was a prisoner when the war ended. After being freed, he was hated and blamed by everybody, being called "the destroyer of Atitjere." He heard about two former RAF soldiers, ex-major Jack Traver and Mia Fowler, who had been captured by Clan Wolf and later joined them for some time before leaving. He found them in Toledo, America on 2 June 3151, asking to join them. He didn't want to serve another Great House and identified himself with them.[1]
Hall offered his talents as secret agent and promised to help them obtain funds. He organized a meeting in Cleveland with "Mr. Weatherbee," an MI6 secret agent, which gave them all the info he had obtained on Terra for fifteen years, which they had to deliver into a Federated Suns embassy. On 6 June, the trio was on the way towards Galatea when they found out that the Atlas II they had obtained was, in fact, the Phantom—Devlin Stone's war machine. Hall felt it belonged in a museum.[1]
When the trio delivered Weatherbee's data to the Federated Suns' embassy on Galatea, Hall proved himself especially valuable, as his agent skills allowed him to understand the MI6 agent who interrogated them. The trio decided to found a new mercenary group called The Cheetahs, in memory of a friend of Jack Traver and Mia Fowler who died on Terra.[1]
BattleMech[edit]
As mercenary, Justin Hall piloted Devlin Stone's Atlas II, Phantom.[1]
