Parker LaBelle was a mercenary during the Clan Invasion era.[2]
Personal History[edit]
Parker LaBelle joined the Waco Rangers sometime prior to 3058. He participated in the Battle of Coventry (3058), in the lance led by Lieutenant Manny Totske, in Leonard McCarthy's company, along with Hector Shirotan and Ariadne Sherbow.[2]
On 21 April, when the Rangers and Crazy Eights led a flank attack against Clan Jade Falcon warriors via the Dales Highlands, McCarthy's company formed the regiment's right flank. McCarthy's arrogance and dismissal of the Lyran scout leader Caradoc Trevena led them fall into a Falcon ambush, and the clan forces fell over them.[3]
Sherbow was killed in seconds, but LaBelle didn't survive much longer: a Falcon Masakari shot him with its four PPCs in an alpha strike, causing his ammunition to explode and killing him instantly.[1] In the end, only Manny Totske survived of his lance. He managed to escape, though traumatized. The loss of his men and the refusal of McCarthy to recognize his errors moved him to abandon the Rangers.[4]
Parker LaBelle was described as a man taller than Totske and thin, with a lean face and thinning brown hair. In 3090, a picture remembering him and his lancemates was hung on the Memory Wall of the Cracked Canopy MechWarrior's bar on Solaris VII.[5]
