During that time, his legacy would be entwined with that of the ''Executioner'' OmniMech.<ref name=TRO3050U/> Numerous [[Clans]] expressed interest in the newly developed assault weight OmniMech with [[Star Captain]] [[Reginald Amirault]] of [[Clan Hell's Horses]] the first to issue a [[Trial of Possession]] for the design, with Bekker winning the bid to defend. Neglecting the Hell's Horses [[Watch]]'s briefing on the design, Amirault was shocked when the seemingly underpowered assault 'Mech deftly jumped behind his [[Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)|''Timber Wolf'']], Bekker eviscerating his opponent with one targeted weapons volley.<ref name=TRO3050U/> Over the first few decades of its deployment, multiple Clans would repeatedly trial for the ''Executioner'' or its production site with the Ghost Bears defeating all comers, Bekker alone successfully winning eighteen trials against fourteen Clans. Gorman Bekker's nineteenth trial for the ''Executioner'' would be his last, [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] successfully winning a [[Star]]s worth of the 'Mech when the Ghost Bear MechWarrior died when he suffered a massive brain aneurysm in the middle of the Trial.<ref name=TRO3050U/> Refusing to believe such a fierce warrior could be felled by a mere natural malady, the Smoke Jaguars honored Gorman Bekker's legacy by including a small statue of him at their genetic repository, an almost unheard of recognition for a representative of an enemy Clan.<ref name=TRO3050U/> ==BattleMechs== Gorman Bekker is best known for his masterful use of an ''Executioner'' for numerous decades prior to his death.<ref name=TRO3050U/> ==Notes== *[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade]] cites that Gorman Bekker served twenty-two years in the Golden Keshik, but no such unit exists in the Ghost Bear Touman.
