'''Lorri Bent''' was a [[Solaris VII]] [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]. She was a petite blonde. She wore her hair cropped close and with several small spots shaved to accommodate neurohelmet contacts. She was a known fighter in [[The Reaches]], even having fought a few times in the big five. In [[3054]] she fought against [[Stanley Shultz|Stanley "The Steamer" Shultz]] in his "Clan"-Thunderbolt on the [[Hartford Gardens]], and in a quick fight (of less than 15 minutes) she ended killing him with an unfortunate cockpit shot. Known fights from her included some memorable fights in [[The Scrapyard]].

She had fought several times in the [[King of the Mountain]] previously to her famous match against [[Vampires Stables]] stablemaster [[Dick Benson]]. She knew its dangers and previously she had been surprised in that arena. It was a known place for her. Another reason for her to be contracted for that fight was her record of eight victories against the Vampires' MechWarriors.

MechWarrior '''Lorri Bent''' bringing the second Sasquatch prototype to fully operational status, with a few extra weapons and a kill switch for the first prototype installed in hers. Bent handily defeated the Vampires stablemaster Dick Benson (seven times winner in the King of the Mountain), effectively destroying both 'Mechs (though hers may be salvageable). Dr. [[David C. Vining]] subsequently hired her for [[VEST]].

As a test pilot for VEST, Lorri gave the ''[[Volkh]]'' its first public airing in a battle against [[Ivan Menlikov]] of the [[Wraiths Stables]], who chose to fight in a ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' expecting her opponent to use his usual ''Sasquatch''. Thanks to her 'Mech [[Hardened Armor]] Lorri closed to point-blank range while resisting a storm of [[PPC]], [[Gauss rifle]], [[Laser]] and [[SRM]] missile fire to finally deliver a flurry of lance blows, which began to penetrate the assault 'Mech's thick armor, and finally delivered crippling damage to the ''Banshee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[XL engine|XL power plant]].<ref name=TRO3055Up146/>
