History[edit]
Early History[edit]
Star Colonel Sinclair fought against Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival during a Trial of Possession for the taking of Twycross.[1] Star Colonel Sinclair was the commanding officer of the Ninety-fourth Battle Cluster.[2] In 3055, Sinclair led his unit to an attack on the Periphery world of Trinity, held by a Jade Falcon garrison, causing extreme damage to the solahma garrison, but the arrival of Falcon reinforcements forced the Vipers to retreat.[3] He is also mentioned as taking Schreuder Heights, in battle for Twycross that forced the Ninth FedCom RCT off the planet.[4] Sinclair also served as Advocate for Star Captain Dawn Moffat in a Trial of Judgment before the Clan Steel Viper Clan Council.[5]
Trial of Grievance[edit]
In 3060, Sinclair was chosen as Clan Steel Viper's Champion for a Trial of Grievance against Clan Jade Falcon.[1] This Trial was fought over the issue of Freeborns and Bloodnames.[1] This issue was really brought to light when then MechWarrior Diana Pryde fought for the Bloodname of Pryde;[6] also at issue was the creation of the freeborn Trinary, led by Star Captain Horse.[7][8] Star Colonel Sinclair and the Clan Jade Falcon champion, Star Captain Horse, fought on Strana Mechty near the village of West Scar.[9] Star Captain Horse defeated Star Colonel Sinclair and won the Trial. As Sinclair's 'Mech fell over a group of villagers, killing them, though it wasn't deliberate by Sinclair, the same night, Horse engaged the Viper captain in a hand-to-hand fight and gave him a severe beating.[10]
Ejection of Clan Steel Viper[edit]
In 3061, Clan Steel Viper invaded the Occupation Zone of Clan Jade Falcon.[11] During the culminating battle on Waldorff, Star Colonel Sinclair while fighting alongside Perigard Zalman challenged Star Captain Horse once again to a 'Mech duel.[12] Sinclair was defeated once more and Clan Steel Viper was eventually forced to accept hegira.[13]
It is unknown if Sinclair was punished later by his new defeat. However, it doesn't appear to be the case; after returning to the Homeworlds, a new Cluster was created merging the 51ts and 94th Battle Cluster remains, and Sinclair was put at his command.[14]
In the end, he was most likely killed during his Clan's annihilation during the Wars of Reaving.
