Star Commander Markus Kerensky was a Clan Wolf MechWarrior and bloodnamed warrior of the Kerensky bloodhouse during the Dark Age Era.[1][2][3]

History

Kerensky led Ravager Star, a unit within the 88th Wolf Battle Cluster[2][3], and commanded unquestioning obedience from even its most savage members. This included subordinates such as the freeborn rogue and brute Cyrus Wolf. Kerensky had both good tactical acumen as well as excellent gunnery with his gauss rifle, which allowed him to even target individual leg actuators in enemy 'Mechs.[1]

In 3140, during a raid on Bolan, with his Star he broke through the 1st Bolan Guards lines outside Quetta, and crushed the Lyran Commonwealth command company. This included personally defeating the regimental commander's Cyclops with a well placed gauss shot.

In July 3140 however during the invasion of Tharkad, after transferring to Beta Galaxy, Kerensky suffered an embarrassing reversal. He pushed his Star too far ahead of the Clan Wolf forces, and was separated from them by a Lyran bombardment, prior to being ambushed and having his 'Mech crippled by the King Crab of Reiner Hogarth.

The dent in his ristar confidence was however later mended by Hesperus II, where he accounted for several Lyran and Clan Jade Falcon 'Mechs, leading to expectations he would soon rise in rank.[2][3]

BattleMech

Kerensky was known to have piloted a WRW-LF-H Warwolf OmniMech, nicknamed "Fell".[1][2][3]
