Archer Pryde was a trueborn Clan Jade Falcon warrior during the final years of the Dark Age era and the beginning if the ilClan era.

History

Early Life

In the crèche, Archer always found creative ways of solving problems, whether through his vast intellect or through physical prowess. 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 lead the other boy on a chase that ended when the boy ran into the road and 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 Bloodright.[1].

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 those like Galaxy Commander Stephanie Chistu and Star Colonel Khalus Pryde, Archer Pryde's codex was an oblique critique of the Mongol Doctrine and Chingis Khan Malvina Hazen's ways[2][3]. A notable example occurred in 3147, where 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 becoming injured.[4].
