Ajax was a mercenary known for being a recon lance commander in the Black Thorns mercenary company.
History
Ajax, which was named by his fathers in honor of the namesake greek hero, grew up in the Capellan Confederation and fought with Warrior House Hiritsu for ten years.[1] After becoming burned-out with a life of unrelenting hate against the Federated Commonwealth, the lack of honor, and the constant losses, when his unit was posted on NO Return, he defected for Outreach with his Raven BattleMech. He informed his superior officer of his intentions, and his commander gave him a day before denouncing him to his superiors, and he was outside the planet by then.[2] on Outreach, he searched an able and honorable mercenary unit to join. In 25 September 3054, he chose Captain Jeremiah Rose, talking him in private. His experience impressed Rose, which allowed to join the Black Thorns, though Ajax, for fear of persecution, he refused to participate into a drill the next day due to his so recognizable 'Mech.[3]
Ajax was placed in the pursuit (a.k.a. Recon) lance.[4] In the fighting on Borghese, his lance commander Angus Lochart was killed by Clan Jade Falcon forces.[5] He became the new pursuit lance leader and was promoted to lieutenant.[6]
An excellent scout, Ajax filled his role as lance commander effortlessly. After the death of the lance's first commander, he assumed temporary command, refusing formal promotion after Borghese, but eventually he accepted it, more out of respect for Rose than brom believing he deserved it.[7]
Later, the Black Thorns took a contract with the Draconis Combine to garrison Wolcott.[8] During this time, they took on a mission to raid Courchevel and went up against Clan Nova Cat.[9] Ajax survived the costly fighting there.[10]
Personality
Quiet and unassuming by nature, Ajax speak little of his life before becoming mercenary, and would prefer to forget it. Though content fighting the Clans, he secretly hoped to fight one day for the Federated Commonwealth to compensate his past raids and skirmishes he did against them in the past.[11]
BattleMech
Ajax was known to pilot a Raven with the latest of advanced weaponru and a Beagle Active Probe and a Guardian ECM Suite.[12]
Notes
