As a consequence, he ended up getting arrested with other political prisoners and was sent to a remote prison. His salvation would come in the form of the [[Black Knight Legion]] mercenary unit (who were also targeting Dresari due to being a contracted target and the deal of betrayal made between him and House Steiner) at the time. Sonntag met and thanked McClair for rescuing him from Ian's "dungeon" and detailed his life and separation from his former Duke. Sonntag offered tactical advice to Colonel McClair about assaulting Ian's firebase and what equipement he would need. Satisfied, McClair offered transport to Karl to rejoin his comrades and thanked the Legion commander for his kindness.<ref>Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight</ref>

Should Ian decide to go after the Armory, Joanna will die and Damon Squire will not join Ian after the mission, presumed to be dead. After the mission, Karl will show Ian a holovid of Joanna's fate after he secured the armory. Karl later expresses his frustration and disappointment in him, telling Ian that he is no better than his cousin for allowing his family to be killed by House Steiner, all for the sake of power. After wishing Ian luck in his final battle, Karl later decides to part ways with him. After William's death on Kentares, Ian will be confirmed as the Duke with Karl absent from the palace, due to his disgust and disappointment in Ian. (This is the canon ending.)
