Lisa Buhallin (b. 27??-28??) was one of 4 founders of Clan Jade Falcon, and served as saKhan under Khan Elizabeth Hazen. She was the Jade Falcon's first Loremaster. Unusual among Clan warriors, Lisa Buhallin was a writer who would later put her talents to use helping to craft Clan law[1].


History

Early Life

Little is known of Lisa Buhallin's early years due to Nicholas Kerensky's purging of most records relating to Inner Sphere origin, among other reasons[1].

For one thing, Lisa Buhallin was not her real name[1]. The person who would become known as Lisa Buhallin was born on Trondheim to a poor farming family. She accepted a scholarship to Pacifica Lutheran University on Terra, near Unity City, and became a well-liked member of the creative writing community.

Amaris Crisis and Exodus

Lisa Buhallin somehow survived the carnage on Terra during the Amaris Crisis, some suspect by either becoming a member of Elizabeth Hazen's Ghosts of the Black Watch or by virtue of having a relationship with someone who was a member. Regardless, she was there when Aleksandr Kerensky ordered the Exodus from the Inner Sphere, following the Regular Army off into the void of the Deep Periphery.

Ways of the Clans

During Operation Klondike, Lisa Buhallin was an officer in the ranks of Clan Jade Falcon. She had not only learned the skills of being a Mechwarrior but had excelled at them, reportedly feeling reborn as a warrior[1].

IlKhan Nicholas Kerensky was temporarily commanding the Jade Falcons during the Siege of the Black Brian, part of the liberation of Dagda. He assigned Lisa Buhallin and her command to neutralize a weapons turret. She would have little support during the crucial strike, but still accomplished her task for the ilKhan. This victory did not come without cost; Buhallin was grievously wounded, putting an end to her short but noted career as a MechWarrior. [1]

Lisa Buhallin would recover enough to be elected saKhan and also became the Jade Falcon's first Loremaster, penning passages in The Remembrance, as well as helping Nicholas Kerensky to shape the laws of his new society. [1]


Legacy

Aside from being a founder of her clan (along with Elizabeth Hazen, Daniel Mattlov and Carl Icaza), Lisa Buhalin is credited in The Remembrance[2] for representing "the will to remember", an allusion to her love of writing and her role as the first Loremaster in her Clan. She is exemplary of the clan warrior idea of burning hot and bright in order to achieve glorious deeds in battle, thereby winning a measure of immortality and praise for many generations.
