History[edit]
Ichabod Timkin was a gladiator from DeLon Stables. He is mostly remembered for his fight in 18 February 3064 in an organized match by the Freak Show Entertainment in their arena: Grayland Gardens. The fight was to pit a Lance of 'Mechs against David Singh, who didn't know he was against four rivals.
He was the first to found David, and that was good for him as the team was in for a huge bonus to the MechWarrior who brought David's Grasshopper down. That meant the Lance were competitors as well as allies, which meant that coordinated tactics were not going to happen.
He was doing well until a second 'Mech appeared. An Axman carrying a Flail instead of a Hatchet, painted the black and red of the Dispossessed Cooperative. As expected, they did not coordinate their tactics well. David was able to down the Axman and then subdued Ichabod.
After that, David went to beat a Silver Dragons Stables Hatamoto-Chi armed with a Vibroblade (the vibroblade that replaced the left-arm PPC braced by the right hand and held out in front of the body, perfectly still) and a blue Banshees Stables modified DV-7D Dervish with a pair of fluid guns.[1]
Tactics[edit]
Unknown.
BattleMechs[edit]
He piloted a heavily modified MAL-1R Mauler. The two ER Large Lasers extending from the Mauler's shoulders had been traded for actual arms which had, in turn, been fitted with a Dual Saw in its right hand and a Pile Driver in the left. But that wasn't all Timkin had given up to carry around 17 tons of brawling gear. In order to bring his weapons loadout down to something the Mauler could actually haul around, he would've also had to abandon a mix of LRMs and autocannon rounds. Which meant Timkin had taken a deadly long-range hitter and turned it into a brawler that couldn't beat you as long as you kept out of its deadly embrace.[1]
Titles and Positions[edit]
None.
