Force Commander Christian Hampton was an officer of the Free Worlds League.

History[edit]

From at least 3059 to 3071 Hampton serving with the Twelfth Atrean Dragoons, as commander of the Third Battalion, and later regimental executive officer.[1][2][3][4]

When first promoted to Force Commander, he was considered the best tactician and strategist in his regiment, but a tendency to second guess himself was causing concern for his commander Colonel Kelian Brackey.[3]

Hampton had a long rumored romance with Duchess Alys Rousset-Marik,[2] which caused the Twelfth Atrean to be linked with Rousset-Marik politically, and resulted in questions about its loyalty to the then-Captain-General the false Thomas Marik. Their relationship also produced Rousset-Marik's second child Agatha Hampton-Marik. Hampton was however killed in a Word of Blake suicide bombing in 3075.[5]

Notes[edit]

Hampton's first name is stated to be Christopher in Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers. The Battletech Line Developer Ray Arrastia has however indicated this was in error.[6]
