Jasek Kelswa-Steiner - Early 32nd Century Nobleman, Mechwarrior, renegade leader of the Republic faction, known as the Stormhammers.
Character Brief
As the son of Gregory Kelswa-Steiner, governor of Prefecture IX of the Republic of the Sphere, he was part of the ruling family of Skye and Heir-Apparent to the throne. Inheriting the title of Landgrave, he was always at odds with his father, growing up believing, that the Republic was a poor steward to the Skye-peoples ambitions for freedom.
He later joined the Republic military, raising up the ranks to become Prefecture IX's military commander. However, by 3132 the HPG Grid blackout changed things.
After hearing word of militia factions raising armies to claim parts of the Republic, he formed the Stormhammers. Declaring support for House Steiner, his charisma allowed him to take most of Prefecture IX's standing military forces with him.
In 3134, Prefecture IX was invaded by a Clan Jade Falcon military expedition. After claiming a number of worlds in the old Isle of the Skye region of the Republic, Jasek activated his forces after Tara Campbell's Northwind Highlanders and Skye's remaining militia forces managed to defeat the Falcons on Skye. He then mustered his forces and rescued elements of the Northwind Highlanders who were stranded in Falcon-controlled space. He then presented himself and his forces to Campbell and his father in a bid to fight off the Falcon's invasion. He striked a relationship with Campbell, though did not reveal his feeling for her.
Jasek advocated that the forces stationed in Skye were insufficient to withstand another invasion. He then proposed to gather reinforcements, while Prefecture IX's defenders conducted strikes against Falcon held worlds.
After meeting with Anastasia Kerensky's Steel Wolves, he convinced the renegade faction to join the fight for Skye. He then retook a Lyran world that was captured by Falcons during the beginning of their invasion. Heading to the Lyran Commonwealth and convincing Hesperus II's Duke Vedet Brewster to lend him forces and the WarShip LAS Yggdrasil for the battle for Skye, he also revealed his plans to bring Skye back to Lyran control to the Duke and Archon representative Trillian Steiner
By early 3135, Jasek's Forces arrived in the Skye system, escorted by the Yggdrasil, to confront the second invasion of the Jade Falcons. In a number of clashes battling for the planet, Skye forces were nearly ruined attempting to fight off the invasion lead by Malvina Hazen. He saved his forces and his allies, using Clan hegira. This allowed his and other forces to withdraw from Skye under ceasefire. Jasek lead these forces to the Stormhammer-held world of Nusakan. There he and father had one last meeting, where his father accused his son of deliberately allowing Skye to fall so he could reclaim the world himself.
Jasek is later seen on Terra at the funeral of Victor Steiner-Davion as part of the Lyran Commonwealth's funeral party. He meets Tara Campbell again and tries to resume his courtship with her. He participates in the re-enactment of the War of 3039, where he leads the Steiner forces in an invasion of the Draconis Combine. During the Simulation he is defeated by Alaric Wolf whom volunteered to fight on the Steiner front of the war.
Notes
It is unclear what happened to Jasek Steiner-Kelswa after events of Victor Steiner-Davion's funeral. Stormhammer forces are seen fighting Clan Wolf invasion of former Prefecture IX in 3137 without Jasek leading them.
