He longs to earn the Kerensky Bloodname[4] and has twice turned down opportunities to other, less prestigious, Bloodnames.[5]
Notable Actions
Achernar
Torrent was the commanding officer for the Steel Wolves invasion of Achernar. The Steel Wolf attack on Achernar was actually a feint to draw Knight-Errant Kyle Powers away from the planet of Ronel where another invasion force was bound to secure the working HPG station there. It was feared that Powers' presence on Ronel would bolster the planets defense and jeapordize the invasions chances of success.[6]
He was able to achieve his primary goal and more when he was able to kill Powers in a Trial of Grievance. He was unable to win the trial and had to cede the field to Raul Ortega.[7] With the loss, he pushed his force to accomplish the second objective. Unfortunately, Ortega was able to once again best Torrent in open combat.[8]
Death
In the final battle for Achernar, Torrent's 'Mech engaged Ortega's 'Mech in hand to hand combat. Ortega was able to breach the shielding on the fusion reactor causing the reactor to go critical. The ensuing explosion disintegrated Torrent's Tundra Wolf leaving nothing where he once was.
BattleMech
During the invasion of Achernar, Torrent piloted a Tundra Wolf.
