History

Sadalbari

Growing up in a family committed to military service with the Republic, Mazzanoble was taught to aspire to membership of the Knights of the Republic of the Sphere from his earliest childhood. Studying and training hard for this privilege, once he had finally achieved the rank of Knight-Errant of the Republic and was on his way to Terra to receive his first assignment, his career was interrupted by the Blackout. Alone on Sadalbari and cut off from his superiors, Mazzanoble however responded well, helping to maintain calm in the local population and reestablish contact with other Knights on neighboring worlds. In the few defensive military actions he was required to participate in, he also demonstrated excellent marksmanship, though he remained relatively inexperienced.

While his successes on Sadalbari were not enough to earn promotion to be a full Knight of the Republic as of 3133, it did make him a favorite of the Paladins on Terra, who appreciated his commitment to duty in the face of the crisis faced by the Republic.[1] At this stage Mazzanoble was also notionally in command of a Crossbow Lance within the Knights, which also included fellow Knights Kristoff Erbe, Romonda Dianalyn and Cedirick Lamarr.[3]

Terra

In the years between 3133 and 3150, while Mazzanoble's Republican ideals were tested many times, he remained loyal and was eventually promoted to be a full Knight. As of 3150, he was posted on Terra, ready to defend the Republic's heart to the bitter end.[4][4]

BattleMech

Mazzanoble was known to have piloted a Black Hawk 3 OmniMech, serial number GB378-67L, named "Ever-Faithful". Built for Clan Ghost Bear, this 'Mech saw heavy combat in Word of Blake Jihad, before later being donated to the Republic on its formation.[1][4][5]
