Contents
History[edit]
Bloodright[edit]
The Bloodheritage of Karl's Devalis Bloodright was not considered impressive prior to his holding of it. His epic clash with Haim Andrews was, however, considered to have elevated both his and its reputation, his exploits being placed in the same category as Aidan Pryde on Tukayyid and Celine Kabrinski's stand against Clan Star Adder.[3]
Ways of Seeing[edit]
As of 3052, Karl was a Galaxy Commander, in charge of the Nova Cat Delta Galaxy ("Ways of Seeing").[2]
Karl was selected to be saKhan of Clan Nova Cat in 3060 by the newly elected Khan Santin West, following the death of the Nova Cats' previous Khans during the Great Refusal, in which the Nova Cats sided with the new Star League and fought against the Ice Hellions. Karl was selected by West to complement his own strengths, Devalis had greater experience as a Galaxy Commander and was more grounded than the charismatic and visionary West.[4]
Karl remained in command of Delta Galaxy while saKhan, after requesting the right to keep his Shiva Keshik as part of that Galaxy; in October 3067 he was stationed with them on Tabayama.[5][6] In December 3067, Karl was recalled from Tabayama to Irece by Khan Santin West to address fallout from the dissolution of the Second Star League.[7][8]
Word of Blake Jihad[edit]
Sometime prior to November 3071, Karl and his Delta Galaxy were dispatched by his Khan to investigate the Kittery Prefecture, reporting back that Devlin Stone was the man whom the visions of Khan Santin West and Oathmaster Minoru Nova Cat had revealed the Nova Cats should follow as the future of the Inner Sphere.[9]
This led Delta Galaxy, together with naval support, to abandon the Draconis Combine and join the defenders of the Kittery Prefecture by December 3072.[10]
Republic of the Sphere[edit]
Following the founding of the Republic of the Sphere, Karl Devalis relinquished his leadership roles in Clan Nova Cat, accepting appointment as one of the original seventeen Paladins of the Republic.[1]
BattleMech[edit]
Karl Devalis was known to pilot some BattleMechs including the prototype Ocelot. While not initially impressed by the 'Mech, Karl tested it during a mock Trial of Position, during which he defeated an Adder, Kit Fox, and Pack Hunter. He later thanked the former Clan Smoke Jaguar scientists who developed the 'Mech for the Nova Cats for their excellent work.[11][12]
