'''Alberto Jaramillo''' was a MechWarrior who served in the Seventeenth Recon Regiment, also known as [[Camacho's Caballeros]], and was one of those serving in the Caballeros in [[3056]] when they were employed by [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]] to provide security for one of his companies, [[Hachiman Taro Enterprises]]. At the time of the contract with Chandrasekhar Kurita, Alberto was a [[Lieutenant]] Junior Grade, piloting a [[Scorpion (BattleMech)|SCP-1O ''Scorpion'']].<ref name="CQp187">''Close Quarters'', p. 187, "Chapter 37"</ref>

On the 2nd of November 3056 the Seventeenth fought a pitched battle in the streets of Masamori, the capital city of [[Hachiman (system)|Hachiman]], against the [[Ninth Ghost]] [[regiment]], as a result of machinations by the [[Internal Security Force]]. The heart of the Caballero's defense was the large HTE complex that served as Chandrasekhar Kurita's headquarters, and Chandrasekhar had anticipated the need to move [['Mech]]s in and out of the compound discretely. The compound was served by its own Tubeway station - something the [[Word of Blake]] had attempted to use as part of a terrorist attack on the compound - and Chandrasekhar had arranged for the station to be secretly roofed with a cement slab that could be moved. When moved out of the way, the Tubeway station became an access point into the tunnel that could be used by 'Mechs below a certain height - most commonly, those weighing 30 tons or less.<ref name="CQp187"/>

Taking advantage of the hidden access point, the Caballeros had arranged a scratch company of a dozen light 'Mechs from their Second and Third Battalions with the intention of having them launch a surprise attack on the rear of the Ghost lines at an appropriate moment. As the only 'Mech in the Caballeros weighing more than 30 tons but with a low enough profile to use the tunnel thanks to its [[BattleMech#Quadrupedal|quadrupedal]] design, Alberto's ''Scorpion'' was added to the scratch company to add some heft to it, and Alberto was designated as the leader for the attack - a rare event for an officer as junior in rank as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. Unfortunately for Alberto - at least, from his point of view - shortly before he was due to lead the attack, his ''Scorpion'' was commandeered by [[Force Commander]] [[Gavilán Camacho]], the commanding officer of First Battalion. Gavilán's 'Mech, a ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'', had been disabled earlier in the fighting, and Gavilán was determined to get into battle again, leaving Alberto behind in the compound.<ref name="CQp187"/>
