John Waco was the only known son of Wayne Waco, and a MechWarrior in his father's mercenary command, the Waco Rangers.
History
Death
John's BattleMech was destroyed in battle on the planet New Aragon in 3008, facing Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion. John Waco was surrounded by a lance of Dragoon BattleMechs focusing fire on his Wasp until it was destroyed. Fortunately, John was able to eject and hide from the enemy 'Mechs, but he would not last for long. As one of the Ranger's Mechs spotted the young MechWarrior, they made a quick dash to save him. However a Dragoon Stalker decided to engage the 'Mech trying to save John, and unable to see the downed pilot, ironically, for the smoke ignited by John's lance, inadvertently crushed him under foot, killing the young Waco instantly.[1]
Legacy
John's death was investigated by ComStar, who cleared the Dragoons of any wrong-doing. The Dragoons' history rarely shows cold-blooded killing, so his death was, almost certainly, an accident. But his father refused to accept this fact, and declared a "Death Oath" against the Dragoons, swearing to kill any Dragoon his forces captured.[2]
Wayne's hate toward the Dragoons never ceased, and he fought his personal war against the group at every opportunity. In 3067, Wayne avenged his son in the First Battle of Harlech (3067)First Battle of Harlech, when he fatally wounded Jaime Wolf. Wayne also perished, and the Rangers were annihilated in the battle.[3]
BattleMech
John Waco was piloting a Wasp BattleMech at the time of his death.
