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 managed to eject from his 'Mech, but, he died when a Dragoon Stalker inadvertently crushed him under foot.[1]

Legacy

John's death was investigated by ComStar, who cleared the Dragoons of any wrong-doing. The Dragoon's history rarely shows cold-blood killing, so his death was, almost certainly, an accident. But his father refused to accept this fact: he declared a vengeance against the Dragoons. Wayne's hate toward the dragoons never ceased, and fight his personal war against the group at any occasion he had. Even made what he called "Death Oath" against the Dragoons, sworn to kill any Dragoon his forces captured. [2] At the end, Waco succeed to avenge his son, when in 3067, lead a mercenary force, probably under orders and pay by the Word of Blake to assault Dragoon homeplanet of Outreach, where he managed to fatally wound Jaime Wolf... but at a high cost: he was killed too, and the Rangers were annihilated in the battle.[3]

BattleMech

John Waco was piloting a Wasp BattleMech at the time of his death.
