Biography

In service of the Kell Hounds

Scott Bradley was a member of Patrick Kell Battalion Command Lance on the 1st Battalion of the Kell Hounds. He did fight in Mallory's World on 3016 and as a survivor did saw the match between Morgan Kell and Yorinaga Kurita. He was one among many that was asked by Morgan Kell to leave the Kell Hounds.

The intermediate years

After an unknown, but probably short time, he did join McGee's Cutthroats, where he server for more or less 10 years. As a good leader, a few of his mechwarriors ended up asking him to form his own unit, something he did when founding Bradley's Bravos. With that unit he did sign a contract with House Davion to act as Garrison force on Northwind. During Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner's wedding he did met again with Mogan Kell and after that agreed on adding Bradley's Bravos as third Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Kell Hounds.[1] Before his unit could join the Kell Hounds, and because of the Kurita attach on Northwind, during what is known as the Battle for Norhwind, part of the Fourth Succession War, Bradley's Bravos were decimated and reduced to a company's worth, that could even have been nothing as Scott Bradley had already made a deal and armed his unit with Inferno missiles in order to delay as much as possible Kuritan units so Team Banzai and the rest of the Fifth Deneb Light Cavalry. The arrival of the Northwind Highlanders turned the tide and the unit survived.[2]

Back to the Kell Hounds

It was not long after Scott Bradley and his soldiers had joined the rest of the Kell Hounds as part of the Third Battalion. He took part in the battle on Nusakan where the Kell Hounds smashed the 5th Sword of Light. That night, Scott Bradley went one-on-one with with 5th Sword of Light Tai-Sho Palmer Conti in top of a plateu. When Conti's Banshee was taken down by Scott in his Cyclops, the 5th's survivors demanded the Genyosha to help them destroy the Kell Hounds, but Yorinaga intervened telling them to stand down or face the Genyosha in battle.[3]

In 3040 Katrina Steiner died and bequeathed Morgan Kell enough money to raise a second regiment of Kell Hounds, with one commanded by Dan Allard and the other by Scott Bradley as lieutenant colonels.

The Clan Invasion

Scott Bradley was still leading Kell Hounds second regiment when the clans invaded and did fight them on Twycross during the second Battle of Twycross. After that, though we do not know exactly when, he retired and command was passed to his son Scott Bradley Jr.
