Contents
History
Early history
Magnusson, the son of the original Elected Prince of the Republic Haakon Magnusson, went to Outreach with his father at the summons of Jaime Wolf in the year 3051. There he trained along with the sons and daughters of the other Great House leaders.[2]
Clan Invasion
Ragnar was serving as a military officer in the Rasalhague region when the Clans struck. During the invasion of Satalice beginning November 3051, Ragnar was serving as a Kapten with the 3rd Drakøns. In later the stages of the invasion he was given command of ad-hoc company of BattleMechs, which had given the name of Ragnar's Vargjagare (aka "Wolf Hunter") Company. He conducted a series of harassment hits against the 13th Wolf's Guards and became a thorn in Natasha Kerensky's side for a time. In January 3052, he would eventually end up facing Phelan Wolf in combat and ended up being captured.[3]
Clan Wolf
He would be interned and made a Bondsman of Clan Wolf.[4][3][5]
He followed Khan Kell to exile and hence became a member of Clan Wolf-in-Exile.
Operation BULLDOG
He eventually became a warrior of Clan Wolf after a period of serving as bondsman and during his days in Clan Wolf he rose to the rank of Star Captain in the Exiled Wolves. He participated in the assault on Labrea and was present when Khan Phelan Kell challenge declared a formal Trial of Possession in the zellbrigen style for the 6th Jaguar Dragoons as a means of allowing Logan Moon to save their honor rather than foolishly sacrifice their lives for Khan Osis's benefit.[6]
In a simple three-on-three Trial in Colodney Valley, Phelan Kell pushed his Executioner A's heat limit early to quickly damage Moon's heavier Dire Wolf A before relying on distance and maneuvering to defeat him. [7] Ranna Kerensky however relied on superior targeting in her Warhawk C to defeat Wimmer's Turkina B at range, while Ragnar favored the reverse, immediately closing his Ice Ferret D with Showers' longer ranged Shadow Cat A where he had the advantage.[6]
The entire 6th Jaguar Dragoons were taken isorla only for Phelan Kell declare them abtakha before even leaving Labrea. The Sixth Jaguar Dragoons were renamed to the 6th Wolf Guards.[8][6][9]
Clan Ghost Bear
However, Ragnar was captured in a Trial in Utrecht when Clan Wolf-in-Exile trialed for a Leviathan that contained prefab factories and production machinery against Clan Ghost Bear, and he was captured and made bondsman by Sarah DelVillar. In Clan Ghost Bear he rose to become a Star Colonel.[10]
Jihad and the Ghost Bear Dominion
In a surprising move, the people of the remnants of the Free Rasalhague Republic, when polled, overwhelmingly chose him to be their new Elected Prince. Due to his unique status as a Clansman, he could not accept, and the long-standing leader of the Rasalhagian military was elected Regent in his stead.
Ragnar journeyed to Orestes in 3070, and on 21 August he spoke to the Free Rasalhague Republic government on behalf of Clan Ghost Bear and the Ghost Bear Dominion, beginning negotiations on what would hopefully be an accord "for all Rasalhagian peoples."[11]
| “ | The road ahead is filled with an evil that can only be cleansed with the fires of Annihilation. The road behind us is littered with the bodies of our fallen, given to that cause. As you fight today, know that each of us who dies this day will have spent our lives in the name of honor, in the name of Kerensky, in the names of Sandra Tseng and Hans Jorgensson! But above all this, know that we shall forever purge these nameless monsters in the name of that which is above what makes us trueborn or freeborn, Clan or Sphere. Follow me—for Rasalhague! | ” |
