'''Grape''' (born [[30?]]- died [[3067]]) was a ''Wolf's Dragoons'' officer killed in the [[Second Harlech|Second Battle of Harlech]].
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
Grape was a MechWarrior of Wolf's Dragoons, where was a lieutenant in the [[Black Widow Battalion]]. He (or she) fought alongside [[Captain]] [[Stacy Church]] in the Second Battle of Harlech against the invading forces of the [[Word of Blake]]. By the 24th of December, her ''Loki'' [[OmniMech]] had lost the right arm, and she had informed Church about their losses before being relieved by the [[Mercenary]] unit [[Broadsword Legion]], so she was able to return to the Dragoons' base.<ref>''The Day After'', pp. 119–120</ref>

The next day was her last one. She had been fighting with the remains of the Spiders against the Blakist forces, but this time, when the Broadsword Legion came to their aid, chose that moment to attack the Dragoons for the back. They Spider's Battalion was very weakened by the previous fight (for example, Grape hadn't even managed to replace her 'Mech's lost arm) and were slaughtered. Grape tried to warn Church about the betrayal, but the Blakists, or more probably the Broadsword Legion, were jamming the Dragoons communications and she, separated from his unit, could only hear fragments, nevertheless coming to the rescue of her people.<ref>''The Day After'', p. 123</ref> However, when Church's ''[[Mad Cat]]'' arrived to the scene, it was too late.

Church arrived in time to see Grape's 'Mech on the ground, with [[Kari Marita]], the leader of the Legion's ''[[Thug]]'' over him. Church still don't understand what happened, but she did it when Grape screamed her to escape... just before the Thug's foot crushed the ''Loki'' canopy like a soda can, killing him instantly, before turning to her.<ref>''The Day After'', pp. 123–124</ref>

Grape was the last known Spider to be killed, and his death made Church furious, attacking alone the Legion's 'Mechs, but was forced to retreat to warn the other Dragoons of the betrayal. At the end, Church was the only known survivor of the battalion, but two years later, she will return to Outreach to found a new Black Widow company, beginning a vengeance campaign in which they will annihilate the Broadsword Legion.
