History[edit]
Jimmy Escobar was one of those who served in the Seventeenth Recon Regiment, also known as Camacho's Caballeros, and was one of those on active duty with the Caballeros in 3056 when they were employed by Chandrasekhar Kurita to provide security for one of his companies, Hachiman Taro Enterprises. Jimmy was one of the scouts who fought alongside Lieutenant Junior Grade Cassie Suthorn during the attack by Word of Blake terrorists on the main HTE compound in Masamori, the planetary capital of Hachiman, on the 15th of October 3056. Jimmy was also one of those Caballeros who witnessed the death of Captain Juan Pedro O'Rourke, who was gunned down in midair after ejecting from his overheated Phoenix Hawk.[2]
On the 2nd of November 3056, the Seventeenth Recon were battling the Ninth Ghost regiment in Masamori as a result of orders from the Internal Security Force, who believed that Chandrasekhar Kurita was betraying the Draconis Combine to the Clans. Jimmy was one of the fifteen volunteers who formed the squad led by Lieutenant Cassie Suthorn to penetrate the building occupied by Ninyu Kerai Indrahar, the adoptive son of ISF chief Subhash Indrahar and senior ISF operative on Hachiman, and present him with (fabricated) evidence exonerating Chandrasekhar Kurita. Jimmy was one of the last handful of scout volunteers alive in the group that reached floor 99 of the building Ninyu was sheltering in, but was killed during a firefight securing the top of the building's main stairwell.[1]
