History[edit]
Takumi's surname has been lost to time as he was taken as a bondsman in May 3050. Clan Jade Falcon struck the world of Evciler in Wave Two of Operation REVIVAL with the First Falcon Strikers. The world was defended only by the Evciler Militia who was composed mainly of those close to retirement and green recruits. Hoping to spare the world the horrors of war, they offered no resistance which the militaristic invaders viewed as reprehensible cowardice. Takumi was the sole defender who put up some resistance, nearly defeating a Fire Moth before an ammunition explosion destroyed his Locust. Impressed with his courage, he was made a bondsman.[3][2]
Takumi was eventually accepted as abtakha, regaining his Warrior status and assigned a Locust C. By the 3057 Refusal War he earned the position of Star Commander for his expertise in high-speed engagements and his knack at controlled skids for more efficient movement.[2]
Takumi reached the apex in his career in August 3071 during Operation ICE STORM the Clan Ice Hellion invasion of the Falcon Occupation Zone. Alpha and Zeta Prime Galaxies attacked the world, stooping to dezgra tactics in the Trial. Takumi, now in at least his late thirties, had been consigned to the solahma garrison and faced off against Hellion ’Mechs in the switchbacks of the Haruna Mountains. His last duel with a Piranha resulted in his engine destruction. Takumi's last stand earned him the envy of many solahma Warriors, and he was still regarded as an Evciler hero into the ilClan Era.[4][2]
