Erik Sandoval-Groell (3??? – 31??) member of the Swordsworn and chief advisor to his cousin Duke Aaron Sandoval.
Character Brief
Was send by his family in Federated Sun's Draconis March to educated by his Uncle Aaron, Duke of Tikonov for Republic of the Sphere.
With the blackout of the HPG in 3132, he was named Force Commander of uncle's new splinter group, Swordsworn, where he participated in many major campaigns.
First on Mara, Erik failed to secure the world for the Swordsworn due to family treason when hin cousin Christine Sandoval defeated his Centurión with her Industrial Mech. He lost his mech and his forces to Christine.
Then he was sent to Achernar to secure the planet but specially the working HPG. There he was caught in a three way struggle between his few Swordsworn forces and larger Republic and Steel Wolves forces. With the help of the planetary Legate (carefully appointed by Erik) he allied with the Republic on planet and managed to keep his forces out of the main battles, saving them to take action against the two other factions when they are weaker. Knight Kyle Powers arrived on planet to handdle the situation but Erik forces attacked and destroyed most of a Steel Wolf supply convoy and its escorts to rachet tensions between Steel Wolves and Republic forces. When the Steel Wolves' Galaxy Commander was furious for such a coward attack, Sir Powers asumed responsablity and accepted a Trial of Grievance. Republic forces barely won the trial led by Raul Ortega when Sir Powers sacrificed himself and was killed. Erik continued with his ploy of keeping his troops away from the main fighting and eventually secured the HPG with an armed contingent. This led the Republic forces to turn against the Swordsworn and the final battle for Achernar erupted with all three factions fighting each other. In the end Raul Ortega led the Republic forces to victory killing the Steel Wolves' Galaxy Commander and fooling everyone making all believe that the HPG was destroyed when his forces managed to plant dummy explosive charges. With the HPG "destroyed" Steel Wolves and Swordsworn forces left Achernar.
After those two defeats, Erik participated in a major Swordsworn victory against House Liao on the world of New Aragon, alongside elements of the Davion Guards and the Ghost Legion (elite and veteran Swordsworn regiments). Duke Aaron Sandoval left Erik in charge of mopping up the remaining hostile forces, a duty that he performed well. During this last operation, Erik was noted to succesfully lead a search and destroy party of Swordsworn mechs against a heavier Liao Tundra Wolf.
After learning of the failed attemplt to kill his Uncle in New Canton, Erik was sent to the wowrld Senshi to gather their support forming a coalition of worlds against House Liao, along with other worlds to be negotiated by Aaron Sandoval. On Senshi Erik found a political bureaucratic nightmare that seemed impossible to sign any agreement. But unknown to him, his Uncle hired Liao mercenaries to carry out a surprise attack with Erik on planet. Under the bombardment Erik managed to get the aagreement signed and left the planet to report his success to his Uncle.
While Aaron Sandoval was gathering the aid to his coalition from other nearby worlds, Erik was put in charge with the defense of St. Andre, an important world already under heavy attack from House Liao. He took command of all Swordsworn forces on planet, but he learned that Liao forces were vastly superior and would overwhelm his army. When House Liao launched the massive attack, Swordsworn forces put up a determined resistance, making inflicting serious losses on the attackers, but the prolonged fight took the toll on Erik's forces and when all hope seemed to be lost, Duke Aaron Sandoval arrived with many reinforcements from other worlds and wiped out the Liao assault with the aid of Erik battered forces. Erik was recognized to put a very good defense with the forces he had on planet.
After the hard victory on St. Andre and upon learning of his Uncle involvment on the Senshi attack, Erik's point of view changed and he decided to make his own path in life instead of following the Duke.
Erik would later become Prince's Champion to First Prince Caleb Hasek-Sandoval-Davion in 3135.
Character Notes
Erik has been known to pilot a CN9-D3D Centurion BattleMech, an Enforcer III as well as a modified HCT-3 Hatchetman.
