Description
Created during Ramiel Bekker's time with the Rasalhague Dominion, the Kontio is a feared yet controversial design. Apparently inspired by an encounter with a concealed Ghost Bear, the 'Mech makes use of Stealth Armor and—more controversially—Claws, the implications of which came to a head when Bekker impaled his opponent in an initial combat trial. While the manner of his victory was inherently dishonourable, the efficacy of the design could not be denied, and the production of a test run was authorized, soon followed by sudden demand from Clan Wolf.
Primarily an export 'Mech, the Kontio has found a home within the ranks of not just Clan Wolf but the Capellan Confederation as well, from whom the design's Stealth Armor and Triple-Strength Myomer were acquired. In addition, the 'Mech sees some use among native Rasalhague warriors, who have far less qualms about the nature of its armament than their Ghost Bear brethren.
Having garnered a deadly reputation as a pilot killer, the Kontio is often focused down or avoided outright by those who would find themselves opposing one, lest they find themselves impaled on its claws.
