History[edit]
Payson was born on Cerillos, one of the Southwest Trinity worlds from a modestly respectable family.[1]
Described as tall and lean, with cartoonishly large, protruding ears "like jug handles," William Payson was steered into Camacho's Caballeros by his family thanks to his natural piloting talent, rather than end up prison because of his endless troublemaking. Payson joined the unit some time after Cassie Suthorn was adopted into the Cabelleros and was initially assigned to a "shakedown lance" (consisting of troublemakers and problem cases) with future unit commander Gavilán Camacho, future best friend Buck Evans, and Suthorn herself as an infantry scout.[1]
BattleMechs[edit]
William Payson was a noted WSP-1A Wasp pilot, demonstrating expertise in jumping and physical combat, including being able to make the 'Mech perform a forward somersault while jumping [2] and fighting a Phoenix Hawk to a draw in a melee duel.[3] Payson would later steal a Venom to combat the Black Dragon Society during their attempt on Theodore Kurita's life in 3058.[4]
