History

Langston was an LCAF MechWarrior for some time. Afterwards, circa 3116, he became sheriff of Cruz Alta's rural Turley District, a position he kept for twelve years.[1]

Seeking excitement, Langston quit his position and moved to Hunter's Paradise, opening business as a bush guide in 3128. To support this, he spent his savings on a used Heavy Lifter, soon custom-modified to protect his clients.[1]

In 3131, Achernar IndustrialMechs engineers spent several weeks on Hunter's Paradise. When Achernar released their own similar HCL-1M MOD, clearly based in part on Langston's design, no compensation was given to Langston.[1]

'Mechs

As a bush guide, Langston piloted a custom-modified Heavy Lifter, nicknamed Trudy.[1]
