Josip was a Star Colonel in the Wolf Empire touman who served under Star Colonel Othar and killed in the Battle of Gienah (3152).

History

Josip was one of the warriors left behind by Khan Alaric Ward in the Empire, after taking all of the Wolf touman to Terra to participate in the Battle of Terra.[1]

ilClan Era

After Star Colonel Othar took control of the Empire in Alaric's absence, becoming the de facto Viceroy, he decided to create two new Galaxies, Rufus Galaxy (Clan Wolf) and Lupus Galaxy (Clan Wolf), each composed of five new Clusters. Othar promoted all promising leaders to the rank of Star Colonel, including Josip. Josip was described as the deadliest man with a knife Othar had ever met. Josip was put at command of the lead Cluster of Lupus Galaxy, the Ninety-First Wolf Guards.[2]

When the Wolf's Dragoons Zeta Battalion invaded Gienah on 6 June 3152, Othar dispatched Josip's Ninety-First to oppose the Zeta raid.[3] As they deployed, the Dragoons' DropShips targeted them with artillery strikes, destroying all but one of the Ninety-First's DropShips.[4]

Despite his unit's losses, Othar pressed Josip to continue the attack on Zeta on foot, with only two Trinaries able to arrive at Gienah's capital, Alliago City.

Josip was killed in action when a building fell on his 'Mech. The Ninety-First was annihilated soon after by the Dragoons. [5]

BattleMech

Josip piloted a Mad Dog.[6]

Physical Description

Josip was described as small enough to be mistaken for a muscular aerospace pilot, with light olive skin and black hair.[7]
