High Lord Fransson was the leader of the Crimson Inclination.[1]
History[edit]
High Lord Fransson was the alias of the charismatic leader of the Crimson Inclination, a group which sought independence from Kuritan warlords and the Great Houses. In late 3018, after a few years stealing materials and resources from local industrial and agricultural installations, considered little more than a nuisance by regional warlords, Fransson and his followers mobilized in force and took control of Najha utilizing a significant number of previously unknown BattleMechs. They attempted to declare Najha an independent system no longer recognizing Draconis Combine rule.[1]
The DCMS sent the Sixth Arkab Legion to liberate Najha, though Fransson and a number of his supporters escaped off-world. Wanting to eliminate Fransson before he could amass more followers to his cause, the Internal Security Force contracted a mercenary unit to track him down. They destroyed an Inclination safe house on Mannedorf, discovering documents that showed Fransson had made a deal with House Steiner LOKI agents who had been financially propping up Crimson Inclination in order to wage a proxy war with the regional warlords.[1]
Fransson was killed during an attack on his base in the Ardoz system. His top lieutenants attempted to carry on the rebellion by having someone pose as Fransson for an upcoming meeting with the LOKI agents, but this plan was foiled by the Sixth Arkab Legion on Marawi.[1]
BattleMech[edit]
Fransson piloted a custom DRG-SDW Dragon called Sidewinder.[1]
