Star Captain Benj Malthus was a Clan Jade Falcon MechWarrior and Bloodnamed warrior of the Malthus Bloodhouse, during the Dark Age Era.[1]
Personal Appearance[edit]
Malthus had brown hair and blue eyes, and despite being a MechWarrior, had a build reminiscent of an Elemental.[1]
History[edit]
Hailing from the same Bloodright as Taman Malthus, Benj was a large warrior with a booming voice. Boasting some of the genes the Clans use for their battle-armored soldiers, Benj was however still bred for the keen reflexes of a MechWarrior.[1]
Benj however refuses to acknowledge Taman as a hero to the Clans, and was indeed disgusted by Taman's storied friendship with the Spheroid hero, Kai Allard-Liao. Benj wasknown to espouse neo-Crusader philosophies and believes that any warrior, past or present, who respects the "filthy surats" of the Inner Sphere is beneath all respect and admiration.[2][1]
While unblooded Benj was assigned to a unit in Zeta Galaxy, and when Clan Wolf staged a massive Trial of Possession for the world of Colmar in early 3131, Benj scored two BattleMech kills and destroyed two squads of infantry during that Trial with his particular Gyrfalcon, a performance that qualified him for a sponsor in a Trial of Bloodright which he won.[1]
Some time after that he was transferred to the 124th Striker with the rank of Star Captain.[2]
BattleMechs[edit]
Benj piloted a modified Gyrfalcon that served as base for the Gyrfalcon 3, serial number JF188-14A, nicknamed "Lancelot". This 'Mech was built on Sudeten in 3130, and had seen its share of combat, even before Benj's successes on Colmar.[1]
