History
Early Life
Bear was born in the Tau Ceti system, the descendant of Native Americans.[3] He was a third-generation MechWarrior.[4]
Gray Death Legion
Prior to joining the Legion he was a member of the 4th Tau Ceti Rangers and the 21st Centauri Lancers. Bear didn't consider himself to be a true warrior until he was able to "count coup" by touching an enemy BattleMech[3]. He accomplished this feat 1 April, 3028 during the final battle on Helm, tearing the arm off a Marik Crusader.[5][6]. Some accounts state he didn't manage to count coup until 3050 on Pandora against Clan Jade Falcon[7].
Shortly after the Legion was assigned to Glengarry in 3056, Bear retired. He was award a sizable estate in the Glencoe Highlands in the southern uplands of Scotia.[7]
BattleMech
Bear was known to pilot a CRD-3R Crusader which had been in his family for three generations [1]. Sometime between 3030 and 3049 his Crusader was altered by exchanging the LRMs for SRMS[8].
