History[edit]

Captain Rollin Stafford was a proud, sometimes arrogant, man. His grandfather was made Baron of Swale on Cherid for his part in the Cheridian Uprising, and Rollin Stafford was fiercely proud of his title and lands.

When he had the impression that his wife had been seduced by Ernst Lang (a MechWarrior from Ryder's Medium Lance of McKinnon's Raiders), he challenged that MechWarrior to a duel. The result of that duel was inconclusive because of the appearance of Captain Ian McKinnon with his Marauder who stopped the fight.[1]

After six months building up his hate, he was assigned to the same planet as McKinnon's Raiders, Groveld III, and was able to "arrange" another duel with Lang. He had learned from a friend that Lang's Rifleman was damaged on the right side and he intended to exploit that. Stafford in his Griffin met Lang and his Rifleman in Vashner Flats below Groveld III's seven Cities though their match was interrupted by an unexpected raid by Draconis Combine troops.[2]

The fight was supposed to be to the death (at least from Stafford's point of view), but Ersnt Lang survived as he continued fighting for McKinnon's Raiders. The fate of Rollin Stafford and how he fared in the duel was not mentioned.
