At the age of 8, he killed one of his ''sibkin'', the biggest and strongest in the group as well as the most aggressive. Rather than facing him head on, he led the other boy on a chase that ended when the boy ran into the road and was struck by a passing vehicle. He managed to make it to the Blooding without killing anyone else. Despite being the runt of his ''sibko'', Archer succeeded in his Trial of Position through his gifts as a talented MechWarrior and the continued use of his intellect. As he ran past a pack of freeborn warriors on the way to his BattleMech, Archer smiled happily—not the smile of a warrior enjoying combat, but a man amused by the banal. After graduating from his Trial of Position, Archer eventually went on to win a prestigious [[Pryde (Bloodname)|Pryde]] [[Bloodright]].<ref name=HG1>''Honor's Gauntlet'', p. 7</ref> − − In subsequent engagements throughout his career, [[Star Captain]] Archer Pryde demonstrated obedience to the letter of his orders, but interpreted their spirit in the most generous of ways. Lumped into the same category as [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Stephanie Chistu]] and [[Star Colonel]] [[Khalus Pryde]], Archer Pryde's codex was an oblique criticism of the [[Mongol Doctrine]] and [[Khan|Chinggis Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen|Malvina Hazen's]] ways.<ref name=CoK2>''Children of Kerensky'', pp. 86–87</ref><ref name=HGp8>''Honor's Gauntlet'', p. 8</ref> A notable example occurred in 3147, when Archer fought against [[Lyran Commonwealth]] forces. Rather than pressing his advantage as per Mongol Doctrine by destroying a civilian settlement, Archer opted to prolong the engagement with the enemy. Although he won the battle, he did so at the cost of two MechWarriors' lives and a third being wounded.<ref name=HG3>''Honor's Gauntlet'', pp. 7–8</ref> ===Dissident=== ===Dissident=== − When Star Captain Pryde came to Khan Malvina Hazen's attention with his bid to put down a rebel uprising on [[Zebeneschamali]], he commanded a [[Binary]] in the [[10th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Tenth Falcon Talon]] [[Cluster]] of [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Zeta Galaxy]] and was stationed on [[Seginus]].<ref name=HGp8 /> Out of concern that the Star Captain had fallen under Galaxy Commander Chistu's anti-Mongol leanings, Khan Hazen dispatched [[Star Colonel]] [[Nikita Malthus]], her personal liaison, to oversee the operation on Zebeneschamali. − ===Reassignment=== + ===Re-assignment=== − On April 19, [[3151]], Star Captain Archer Pryde was assigned to the [[1st Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Jaegers]] under Star Colonel Khalus Pryde.<ref name=HoW2>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 267–269</ref> − − ===ilClan Trial=== − On the third day of the ilClan Trial, Archer Pryde fought as the Wolves withdrew across Staunton Creek, covering Star Colonel Pryde with his ''Shrike''. After urging the Star Colonel for orders, Archer regrouped with the rest of the First Falcon Jaegers to hold off the [[Golden Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Golden Keshik]] while the other Clusters of [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Epsilon Galaxy]] piled forward into [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Alpha Galaxy's]] withdrawing wall.<ref name=HoWSC>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 291–292</ref><ref name=ilClanSC>''IlClan'', pp. 94–96</ref> The Jaegers were at the rear of the Jade Falcon line, and Archer's ''Shrike'' was badly damaged by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile|Clan Wolf-in-Exile's]] Omega Provisional Galaxy as they advanced. By the battle's end, he and Star Colonel Pryde were all that remained of the First Falcon Jaegers.<ref name=HotWAM>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 315–316</ref> − − ===Blood that Runs the Color of Jade=== − At a Clan Council held on April 25, 3151 in [[Unity City]], Star Captain Pryde nominated his commanding officer, Khalus Pryde, for [[SaKhan of Clan Jade Falcon|saKhan]]. The nomination was narrowly successful, and Khalus ascended to his new post under now-Khan Stephanie Chistu.<ref name=HoW3>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 339, 341–344</ref><ref name=ilClan1>''IlClan'', p. 104</ref> ==BattleMechs== ==BattleMechs== − Archer Pryde is known to have piloted a ''[[Shrike]]'' Prime named ''Toronado''.<ref>''Honor's Gauntlet'', p. 14</ref> + Archer Pryde is known to pilot a [[Shrike]] Prime named Toronado <ref>[[Honor's Gauntlet]], pg. 14</ref>. − − ==Decorations== − One BloodRibbon<ref>''IlClan'', p. 106</ref> [[Clan Jade Falcon]] - Earned for participating in the ilClan Trial (17-19 April 3151) on Terra.<ref>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 291–292</ref> ==Notes== ==Notes== − * This character was altered from initial versions to incorporate a character created as part of the [[2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign]] by a backer. + * This character was created as part of the [[2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign]] by a backer. ==References== ==References== Line 50:
