===Early Life and Career===
The child of [[JumpShip]] officers, Padraig O Bhaoil was born on [[Arc-Royal]] but joined [[ComStar]] when his parents' JumpShip the ''[[Eala]]'' was lost with all hands. Having spent a fair portion of his childhood in space, he joined the Order's JumpShip corps and quickly rose through the ranks. He attained command of the ''[[Magellan (JumpShip class)|Magellan]]''-class ECV ''[[Free Spirit]]'' in [[3041]]. As a JumpShip commander, O Bhaoil amassed a reputation as a fair but stern captain, loyal to his crew but devoted to the mission as well. In [[3048]], when he took the ''Free Spirit'' on an extended mission into the [[Periphery]] as part of the Explorer Corps, he was considered one of the Corps most senior captains.<ref name=EC-26/> <ref name=SS-109/> <ref name=ER3062-79/>

Upon his ship's return to the [[Inner Sphere]] he was pressed into service ferrying [[Com Guards]] from across the Inner Sphere for the grand battle at [[Tukayyid]], and the ''Free Spirit'' was one of the many ComStar JumpShips that remained at the system’s nadir point, ready to evacuate the wounded or carry word of the battle’s outcome to the rest of the Inner Sphere. His witnessing of the horrific fighting changed O Bhaoil, and when in [[3053]] [[Primus]] [[Sharilar Mori]] offered him the position of Director of the Explorer Corps he accepted. He was no longer content to roam the stars, and felt duty-bound to help defeat the [[Clans]].

As DES (Director of the Explorer Corps) O Bhaoil oversaw the largest shift of the Corps' focus in its history. After partnering with the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]], the first priority of the Corps became locating the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. Because the ''[[Outbound Light]]'', the Explorer Corps vessel that happened upon [[Huntress]] in 3048, had not filed a planned flight path there was no way to retrace its steps. Determined to get closer, he moved the headquarters of the Corps into the [[Deep Periphery]] at the recovered [[Columbus]] facility. When a [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguar]] [[Trent (person)|traitor]] brought back the path of the [[Exodus Road]], the Corps' budget was drastically cut, but it soon re-focused as the primary link between the reborn [[Star League]]'s enclave on Huntress and the Inner Sphere.
