Elizabeth Hazen (b. April 5th 2741[1] - ???) was the first Khan of Clan Jade Falcon.
Elizabeth Hazen is the one most well-regarded by the clan, for she is believed to have been the first to tame a jade falcon, a genetically engineered mix of the peregrine and the gyrfalcon, designed to combat native pests on the Clan colonial worlds. Hazen's jade falcon was named Turkina, and that name became the basis for the elite Turnika Keshik of the Jade Falcon clan[2].
History
Early Life
Elizabeth Hazen was born on Terra, in Alexandria, Virginia, on the continent of North America. When she came of legal age, she joined the SLDF and entered Mechwarrior training. By age 25, she was an officer who commanded a company in the elite Black Watch, assigned to guard the First Lord himself.
Hazen was not present the day the Usurper struck the Cameron line from continued existence. Visiting her brother Lionel in a hospital as he recovered from an aero fighter crash, the building came under attack by Amaris' troops. After all able bodies were herded from the building, forced to leave the sick and injured behind (including Lionel), the hospital was bombed before a stunned crowd of onlookers[3].
In the confusion of the coup, Elizabeth Hazen and many other loyal soldiers of the SLDF slipped away and formed a resistance movement called The Ghosts of the Black Watch that would continue to fight the Usurper for the next 10 years until Kerensky's forces liberated Terra in 2779. She was awarded the Star League Medal of Honor and was inducted into the Order of the Sword, the last person to have either honor bestowed upon them by the soon to be defunct Star League[4].
Aleksandr Kerensky offered Elizabeth Hazen a role in his Command Staff, but she declined and tendered her resignation instead. She traveled the Terra alone seeking healing from the emotional scars of the war, finally reaching a monastery located within Hungary of Terra's European continent. There, over the course of a few years, she learned the ancient art of Falconry that would come to be central to her legend within the Clans[5].
When Kerensky ordered the Exodus from the Inner Sphere, Elizabeth Hazen rejoined the SLDF, taking her open invitation to join the general's Command Staff, some say at DeChevalier's personal request. This is the only time Hazen's romantic life is every hinted at, though it remains speculation how deep their relationship ran[6].
