Marcus GioAvanti was a Mercenary commander.

History[edit]

Marcus GioAvanti could have lived as a socialite on Skye, but he fell out of favour with his family[3], and GioAvanti, who was at that time attending the New Avalon Military Academy, he dropped out[1][3]

He got a contract as a corporate mercenary for a Draconis Combine company when the Clans invaded the Inner Sphere. He was dragooned into the DCMS and repeatedly tossed into the teeth of the Clan Smoke Jaguar and Clan Nova Cat advance. He began forming a unit with survivors of that meatgrinder, Avanti's Angels, and once the clans were stopped by ComStar during the Battle of Tukayyid, the Angels left the Combine for contracts in the Chaos March, followed by contracts in the Periphery. During one of those operations they exposed Blakist machinations against the Magistracy of Canopus and then returned to Skye to protect Marcus' family during the FedCom Civil War.

Marcus signed his unit to the Allied Mercenary Command, which made them a target early in the Jihad, but Marcus was able to kept himself and his unit one step ahead of Blakist assassins.[3]
