History[edit]
After an unexpected level of resistance during the Battle of Turtle Bay, Perez ordered the destruction of the city of Edo when he ordered Beta Galaxy's WarShip, the Sabre Cat, into low orbit above the city and commanded it to open fire; the act was one that even the hardline Crusaders despised. In the aftermath he was challenged and lost his command to Dietr Osis.[1]
As a result of his actions, Cordera Perez was demoted to the rank of Star Colonel. When the bloodnamed warriors of Clan Smoke Jaguar traveled to Strana Mechty to elect a new ilKhan during the Year of Peace, Perez, as the highest-ranking officer remaining, was appointed to oversee the Clan Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone. This included the 362nd Assault Cluster stationed on the planet Courchevel. While there, the 362nd encountered and engaged a group of enigmatic smugglers attempting to seize Clan technology, who were later revealed to be part of the Amphigean Light Assault Group. Despite objections from some of his subordinates, Perez continued to act with disregard for civilian casualties and infrastructure damage, repeatedly ordering massacres and the destruction of entire cities, this time carried out by ground units on site.[2]
Fate[edit]
Crusader Path[edit]
Upon learning that Ezra had defected to the Wolf's Dragoons, Cordera interrogates Jayden and Mia while taking his frustrations out on them. Despite Jayden's innocence, Perez sees his actions and words as excuses, doubting his loyalty to the Smoke Jaguars. As Cordera was about to strike Jayden again, he is saved by SaKhan Sarah Weaver and Star Commander Emilie Wimmer. Like all Jaguars, Perez participates in the Battle of Luthien surviving through the conflict.[3]
Warden Path[edit]
During the Battle of Luthien, Star Colonel Perez brings his Dire Wolf and personal star to challenge Ezra and Jayden for their betrayal of Clan Smoke Jaguar. Jayden rebukes Cordera for his actions on Edo, which he retorts by saying that Jayden could have challenged him at anytime like Dietr did, but did not. Jayden agrees and calls a Trial of Grievance under the rules of zellbrigen against his former commander to end the feud. After the battle, Jayden emerges victorious as a dissatisfied Perez dies at the controls of his Dire Wolf.[4]
