History
Bloodright
The Bloodheritage of Karl's Devalis Bloodright was not considered to have been impressive prior to his holding of it. His epic clash with Haim Andrews was however considered to have elevated both his and its reputation, his exploits being placed in the same category as Aidan Pryde on Tukayyid, Taman Malthus with Kai Allard-Liao and Celine Kabrinski's stand against Clan Star Adder.[3]
Ways of Seeing
As of 3052, Karl was a Galaxy Commander, in charge of the Nova Cat's Delta Galaxy ("Ways of Seeing").[2]
Karl was selected by saKhan of Clan Nova Cat in 3060, by the newly elected Khan Santin West, following the death of the Nova Cat's previous Khans during the Great Refusal, in which the Nova Cats sided with the new Star League and fought against the Ice Hellions. Karl was selected by West to complement his own weakness, Devalis have greater experience as a Galaxy Commander, and being more grounded than the more charismatic and visionary West.[4]
Karl however remained in command of Delta Galaxy while saKhan, in October 3067 being stationed with them on Tabayama.[5] In December 3067 Karl was recalled from Tabayama to Irece by Khan Santin West, to address the fallout from the dissolution of the Second Star League.[6][7]
Sometime prior to November 3071 Karl and his Delta Galaxy were dispatched by his Khan to investigate the Kittery Prefecture, reporting back that Devlin Stone was the man which Khan Santin West and Oathmaster Minoru Nova Cat's visions had promised that the Nova Cats should follow as the future of the Inner Sphere.[8]
This led to Delta Galaxy under saKhan Devalis, together with naval support, to abandon the Draconis Combine and join the defenders of the Kittery Prefecture by December 3072.[9]
Paladin
Karl was one of the original seventeen Paladins of the Republic.[1]
BattleMech
Karl was known to pilot BattleMechs, including the initial prototype Ocelot. While not initially impressed by the 'Mech, Karl tested the prototype during a mock Trial of Position, during which he defeated an Adder, Kit Fox and Pack Hunter. He later thanked the former Clan Smoke Jaguar scientists who developed the 'Mech for the Nova Cats for their excellent work.[10][11]
