Torrent (b. 3??? - d. 3133) is a trueborn MechWarrior and Star Colonel in Kal Radick's Steel Wolves. [1] He has brown eyes and shaves his head bald.[2] Strangely, in the novel, A Call To Arms, his first name is never mentioned. Torrent presents as a gritty, determined warrior, fiercely loyal to Kal Radick and the Steel Wolves.
Character History
Very little character background is available for Torrent. He is descended from the Kerensky blood line[3] and is considered a ristar among the Steet Wolves. Torrent is not Bloodnamed. He longs to earn the Kerensky Bloodname[4] and has twice turned down opportunities to other, less prestigious, Bloodnames.[5]
Notable Actions
Torrent was the commanding officer for the invasion force against Achernar. His goal was to lure Knight-Errant Kyle Powers away from the planet of Ronel where another invasion force was headed to secure the working HPG network. His secondary objective, was to take the planet for the Steel Wolves if at all possible.
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.[6] With the loss, he pushed his force to accomplish the second objective. Unfortunately, Ortega was able to once again best Torrent in open combat.[7]
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.
