History
Rossiton was a trueborn of Clan Ice Hellion. He participated in Operation ICE STORM, under the command of SaKhan Connor Rood, surviving to it. After the absorption of his clan, he became a Goliath Scorpion warrior, rising to the rank of Star Colonel. However, never won a Bloodname and in some date prior to 3099 became a solahma, commanding officer of the Trinary Sigma Two, on Iota Base, in the newly colonized planet of Graystone on the Escorpión Imperio, where they worked in its construction. The 3 July 3099, he presided a meeting with his subordinates, and talked in private with Star Captain Lishi, a former Ice Hellion like him. He complained about their survival and what he perceived as their former clan's traditions, telling her they were a dying breed. She said him both will die before his fears became a reality, and he called her optimist for that.[1]
On 12 October of the same year, a second-line force of the Hanseatic League RDF 5 'Mechs attacked Graystone, to raze the colony in construction, and Rossiton, which had keep his 'Mech, engaged them. Despite his age and being alone, he faced them, fighting at least seven Hansa 'Mechs in the landing pad, before falling. It is implied than he died in combat. However, at least the Colonel's sacrifice won time to the rest of his unit to movilize, and distracted the Hansa warriors, allowing Lishi to down several before dying herself.[2]
