==Description==
 
==Description==
Spectre was noted for being cocky in his youth as displayed to his lancemates in the field. He sponsored his unit with one of the renowned [[mercenary]] units before finding work in the Inner Sphere. Spectre met Castle for the first time as she introduced him to the command center of his soon-to-be base of operations. Spectre mostly did unaffiliated contracts throughout the Inner Sphere and also spend some time on the world of [[Solaris 7]]. As the FedCom Civil War escalated, Spectre had to make a choice to either serve [[House Steiner]] or [[House Davion]], cementing his loyalty to one of the factions.<ref name=MW4M>''MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries''</ref>

{{quote|''I was twenty-seven the year that the FedCom Civil reached its boiling point. The media saw us as young gods, lords of war, striding the battlefield in our engines of destruction. The holo-vids captured our stories and spun them to the masses. For some, it was a time of terrible sacrifice and loss. For others, it was a time of great opportunity.''}}

After Castle pleads to Spectre about joining Clan Wolf, she offered him an alternative to take a base on [[New Canton]] and disobey Rabid Fox. She also persuaded Spectre by pouring her heart out to him by reminding Spectre about how the Clans murdered her parents and not to undo all that he worked for. Spectre lets her words fall on deaf ears and proceeded to Carse where he would face five elite Mechwarriors from Clan Wolf. After successfully defeating the warriors, he became a warrior of Clan Wolf and took part in rescuing [[Katrina Steiner|Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. He lives out the rest of his life in Clan Wolf doing Trials and combat to give him honor for his clan.

She also persuaded Spectre by pouring her heart out to him by reminding Spectre about how the Clans murdered her parents and not to undo all that he worked for. Spectre agrees to her advice and heads to New Canton, in which she tells him that he made the right decision. On the way, he found cooperation with the [[Stalwart Support]] mercenary unit, who were being attacked by House Liao's [[Harloc Raiders]]. During the battle, Spectre and his force encountered [[Wu Deng Tang]] and defeated his remaining forces. In the aftermath, capturing Griffon Base turned out to be a wise decision as the base gave Spectre's unit strength putting him on par with any Inner Sphere [[RCT]] unit.
