John Hayes was a member of the Black Widow Company, Wolf's Dragoons.[2]
History
He was a very competent MechWarrior in Wolf's Dragoons until he was charged with unauthorized looting by his commander and after that was assigned to the Black Widow Company, where Natasha Kerensky controlled him with a combination of fees for theft and bonus for gallantry in combat.[2]
He joined the Black Widow Company after New Delos and participated in all its actions until 3025.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
In the Battle for Dromini VI a DropShip Pilot mistakenly launched Hayes with an incorrect angle during the drop assault resulting in heavy damage to his BattleMech. Natasha Kerensky prevented Hayes from killing the Pilot by confiscating all the pilot's wealth and giving it to Haynes, then demoting the Pilot to Third Assistant Cook aboard a family transport.[2]
He fought with the rest of the Dragoon's in Misery, Glenmora and Crossing.[12]
BattleMech
In the Apocryphal BattleTech: Heavy Metal John piloted a custom Annihilator Variant designated the ANH-JH.[14]
Quote
"I saw you take it, Hayes! That belongs to these poor people--I think you'd take the siding off their homes if it wasn't nailed on. Wait until the Widow hears about this..."[1]
