Davis Montgomery McCall, born and raised on the world of Caledonia, was an officer and veteran of the Gray Death Legion.
History[edit]
Early Life[edit]
Davis McCall was born into one of Caledonia's ruling Jacobite families, attending the Highlander BattleMech Academy and joining the Caledonia Home Guard.[5]
Joining the Legion[edit]
McCall joined up with the Gray Death Legion in 3025 on Galatea, in a meeting with Grayson Carlyle and eight other mercenaries that went on to form the original Legion. McCall was a big, friendly Caledonian, with an engaging grin, and had a fierce pride in his Terran-Scots ancestry. Often in combat, Davis would scream Gaelic curses over the combat circuit. He was one of the longest serving members of the Legion, second only to Lori Kalmar-Carlyle, and was immensely loyal to Grayson. At one point, McCall served as XO for the Legion, during Lori's pregnancy with her son, Alexander. Twice in his career as a mercenary McCall turned down contract offers from other mercenary units, including an offer of a battalion command. Over the years, experience and age tempered the big Scotsman's impulsiveness, making him one of the Legions strongest field commanders.[citation needed]
Death[edit]
On 8 July 3065, McCall was killed in the Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus II when the cockpit of his Highlander was kicked in by an enemy Rakshasa and a Guillotine.[1]
BattleMechs[edit]
McCall first piloted a Rifleman, affectionately named Bannockburn after the famous battle in medieval Scotland, until the 'Mech was destroyed during the Helm campaign.[6] He was later able to acquire a Highlander, giving it the same name and piloting it until his death.[7]
