Seamus Casey was a former Republic of the Sphere and Northwind Highlander soldier.

History[edit]

Early Years[edit]

Seamus Casey served into the Highlanders for an unknown span of time. The details are unknown, but by his age, he must have been a veteran of the Word of Blake Jihad, and maybe too the Clan Invasion era, where he reached the rank of Major before retiring. He was once under Loren Jaffray's command, probably in the Northwind Hussars.[1][2]

Grey Watch[edit]

In an unknown date after 3134, he was recruited for the Grey Watch with his old Marauder, though he kept in secret. The 28 October 3150, he assisted to a field exercise where his grandson, Declan Casey, of the Twelfth Hastati Sentinels won the battle. Later, when his grandson went to a Warrior's Cabal, Seamus took him there with his truck. The old man, a veteran highlander retired, had seen the exercise from the training center. On the Cabal, Seamus saluted an envoy of the Republic which they were expecting: Lady Maeve Stirling, also a highlander of a distinguished Clan, which he had known when she was a child. She talked in private with declan, which suspected his grandfather was keeping something in secret for him, suspicion confirmed when Seamus cut the meeting.[3]

The 23 November, Declan's unit fought in the woods around Northwind Military Academy, when the Watch forces attacked. Seamus downed a Canopian Vindicator before retreating, but Declan was impacted when recognized the Declan tartan on a old Marauder.[4]

A day later, in a meeting at the Castle, Seamus appeared, along with Colonel Michael Griffin and Maeve Stirling, informing the presents of the existence of the Watch. The same day, Declan talked with his grandfather in the castle's 'Mech bays, where asked him about why he hadn't tell him nothing, and about the Watch's equipment.[5]

The 26 November, Seamus fought alongside Declan defending The Castle. He downed a Capellan Raven II and later engaged McCarron's officer Lindsey Baxter, forcing her to retreat. After the battle, Seamus talked with Declan about both units' casualties, comforting him. [6]

The 5 December, Declan and Seamus assisted to a meeting of officers at The Castle, where it was debated the situation with the newly arrived Hikage Kuritan regiments. The young one was still at the doghouse for his refusal to retreat previously. His grandfather approached him and talked him about the combats in Tara. The older Casey invited the young to make a raid into Tara, occupied by the Capellans, to which Declan agreed.[7]

They successfully infiltrated into Tara, going to Plunkett's tavern. There they were informed of the last news in the capital, and, in the way out, helped evacuate a Highlander searched by the Maskirovka.[8]

Both Casey fought in a street battle, helping several Grey Watch warriors, until reaching his grandfather. The battle ended soon, but Declan was furious for the Watch's losses, and swear to himself to make the Capellans pay for every loss.[9]

Death[edit]

On the battle, Declan went to Tara's HPG's compound in the Final Destiny (DropShip), landing there and taking the place. the younger Casey fought there, defending the complex, while Seamus fought in the city to reinforce the defenders. Declan's unit were against the ropes, when part of the Black Watch, led by Seamus, arrived. Seeing his grandfather fell under a Shen Yi, Declan attempted to assist him, but something exploded and he lost conscience.[10]

That explosion signaled the end of the battle. When awakened, Declan was devastated to know than Seamus had died, but that only reinforced his determination to protect Northwind.[11]
