MechWarrior Alex Ward was a member of Wolf's Dragoons' Black Widow Company.[2]

History

Clans

A member of the Clans and a trueborn of the Ward Bloodhouse, Alex was dishonored beyond redemption by his gambling habit, including losses to lower castes. He therefore jumped at the opportunity to join the Dragoons in the Inner Sphere and start anew.[1]

Dragoons

Even a change of environment that dramatic did not however free him from his addiction, and once with the Dragoons he remained a known gambler, who became severely indebted to his battalion commander.[2][1]

He voluntarily joined the Black Widow Company after New Delos, expecting that the unit with the highest combat bonus would help him pay his debts, which otherwise would have ended in his disgrace and exile[2], and had participated in all of its actions up through 3025.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Over the years, he earned and lost fortunes many times over, and remained in debt. Natasha Kerensky protected him from his creditors, and he returned her consideration with loyalty and courage in battle.[2]

The Black Widow Company suffered no losses during the Fourth Succession War, but he was not present in the units roster in 3029[12], having fallen in combat on Benet III in 3027.[1]

BattleMech

Ward was known to have piloted a STG-3R Stinger BattleMech.[2][1]
