Owen Lindon was the commanding officer of Reilly's Armored Cavalry in 3015.

History

In 3015, the mercenary unit Reilly's Armored Cavalry was sent on a diversionary raid to Driscoll's World under contract to the Draconis Combine. They did not know that they would be facing three to one odds without the promised reinforcements while their employer used the diversion to occupy an entirely different planet. Only a handful of mercenaries under Captain Owen Lindon survived and escaped to the Federated Suns where they re-formed as Lindon's Company, and were subsequently hired by House Davion.

In an extended campaign against House Kurita forces that must have occurred between 3023 and 3028 on Remis III, elements of Lindon's Company, together with the 3rd Davion Guards, were involved in an attack against the Black Widow Company near Coursadin.

Notes

• This is one battle scenario from the Tales of the Black Widow Company scenario pack. The mission objective of the Lindon's Company/3rd Guards player is to kill Natasha Kerensky. The canonical outcome is that the attempt failed, as Kerensky became a major character in the BattleTech franchise, appears in canonical novels set much later and eventually dies a hero's death in 3057. Since the battle took place while Owen Lindon was still in command it can be speculated that Sarah Lindon took command after Owen Lindon was killed or incapacitated in that battle.
• The unit was presented with Owen Lindon still in charge in the BattleTech rulebook where it was first described, and which is set in 3025. At some time in or shortly after 3025, Sarah Lindon took command. She is first mentioned to be commanding the unit as "Acting Captain" in House Davion (The Federated Suns) (also set in or around 3025).
