Othar was a Star Colonel in the Wolf Empire Touman and the highest-ranking officer left in the Empire when Khan Alaric Ward and nearly all of Clan Wolf's warriors invaded Terra in 3151.[1]

History
Dark Age Era
Othar hadn't even passed his Trial of Position when the Blackout happened. His first assignment was a garrison Cluster.[2] Othar never obtained a Bloodname, and when the Wolf Khan Alaric Ward took all the Wolf touman to Terra, Othar was left behind, the only high ranking officer in all the Wolf Empire.[3]
IlClan Era
The 4 June 3151, on Gienah, Othar received a message from Terra, announcing the Wolves victory in the Battle of Terra, with his clan becoming the IlClan. The same day, along with his friend, the solahma trainer Star Captain Ricad (Clan Wolf), assisted to the first Trial of Position of a Wolf warrior of the IlClan. The young Radu (Clan Wolf) achieved three victories, obtaining the rank of Star Captain.[4]
The 18th June, Othar asked to see Radu on its office. There, he informed both him and Ricard of Terra's victory. Ricard feel himself excited, but Radu was more angry and depressed for having lost his chance to fight on Terra. However, Othar gave him immediate work: he took Radu to see the Wolf Mercant Factor, and informed the young one of his plan to raise new Clusters to defend the Empire, and Radu will command the first one. The young Star Captain protested, telling he was usurping the IlKhan's authority, but Othar didn't change his plans.[5]
Personality
In some aspects, Othar was a typical Wolf warrior, but in others, he was slighty different: he didn't detested the solahma, or the lower caster, being surprisingly courteous with them. But his main characteristic was his anger for having being left behind, and specially Alaric Ward's abandonment of the Empire.[6][7]
BattleMech
Othar's original 'Mech is unknown, but he became dispossessed after being left behind. He didn't find a replacement until 28 March 3152: a Blood Reaper, but he lost it in Zeta's assault on Gienah.[8]
Notes
- Ironically, Othar share several features with his adversary, Wolf's Dragoons leader Henry Kincaid: both were originally unremarkable warriors, raised to command by virtue of being the highest ranking officer left behind. Both resented having being denied the right to fight in Terra (or prevent its people fighting, in Hack's case), deeply resented Alaric Ward, and both refused to promote themselves to a higher rank.[9][10]
