History[edit]
Early Career[edit]
In the early part of his career, Richmond was a veteran battle armor trooper, who participated in the conquest of Terra in 3058 as part of Operation ODYSSEUS. A freak accident in 3062 however cost him both of his legs, leading to him becoming an augmented Manei Domini.[1]
Manei Domini[edit]
Following his legs being replaced with enhanced prosthetics, and having cross-trained as a MechWarrior, Richmond returned to active duty three years later in 3065 with the 47th Shadow Division. By this time a stealth and reconnaissance specialist, despite his dual training, he continued to prefer battle armor combat.
During the Blakist occupation of Galatea during 3072 and 3073, together with the "Bionic Witch of Galaport" Berit Smitty, Richmond was linked to over 600 mercenaries killed.[1] During these anti-insurgent actions, Richmond's unit often worked in "choir" formations with the OmniMech Level III of Poltergeist Precentor Sigma Tamiel, the Watching Hands III-Gamma.[2]
This success led to the Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission and Allied Mercenary Command putting a significant bounty of the head of Richmond and Smitty, of 100,000 C-bills each. Despite this Richmond's unit managed to claim at least a company's worth of 'Mechs and vehicles destroyed during various raids for the Word.[1]
