Grayson Death Carlyle (3004 – 22 May, 3065; aged 61 years) was the founder of the mercenary command known as the Gray Death Legion. Known for his innovative battlefield tactics; he pioneered the use of anti-BattleMech infantry. In 3028, on the eve of the Fourth Succession War, Carlyle's Gray Death Legion discovered the Helm Star League Library Core on planet Helm in the Free Worlds League. Carlyle is acknowledged as the Father of 31st century Warfare due to his ability to use combined-arms tactics to great effect.
Grayson's personal 'Mechs were generally captured in action, initially starting with a Locust captured from Lori Kalmar, then acquiring a Shadow Hawk, then a MAD-3R Marauder. The circumstances leading to his piloting a Victor are unknown.
He married Lori Kalmar and together had a son, Alexander.
In 3056 Grayson Death Carlyle was named the Baron of Glengarry by Victor Steiner-Davion, and the planet-hold of Glengarry was given to him as a home for the Grey Death Legion.
After landing on their new home, they where attacked by the Free Skye Militia secretly supported by Ryan Steiner, however Victor Steiner-Davion secretly hired the Northwind Highlanders to assist the Grey Death Legion in the successful defense of the planet. [1]
Grayson received an injury during an attempted assassination on himself that prevented him from piloting a 'Mech any longer. Grayson's wife provided him command of a group of power-armored soldiers in the Gray Death Legion called Carlyle's Commandos, the name of his father's mercenary command.
Carlyle died in 3065 of cancer.
