History

Lynn Sheridan was a trueborn from Clan Cloud Cobra who was taken as abtakha by Clan Wolf. She signed up to be a member of the scout mission that was to be Wolf's Dragoons.[1]

Lynn was a rash and foolhardy MechWarrior known for her tendency to ignore orders and seek out the thickest fighting. She was a compulsive gambler with her life.[3]

Before joining The Black Widows, her superiors had marked her down as will-fully insubordinate, recklessly brave, and costly, having at least once needing more repair work in her 'Mech that in the rest of her lance combined.[2]

She participated during the combat drop the Black Widow Company made to attack New Delos and capture Anton Marik.[4]

She participated in all Black Widow Company engagements from 3015 to 3025.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

During the Battle of Corridan IV, Sheridan found herself face-to-face with three enemy 'Mechs. Even though Kerensky ordered her to retreat, she instead fought a slugging match that turned one enemy 'Mech into a pile of scrap metal, but left her Crusader a wreck. She was court-martialed but avoided any fallback claiming her comm circuits had been knocked out.[2]

She fought with the rest of the Dragoons in Misery, Glenmora and Crossing.[14]

BattleMech

Sheridan uses her CRD-3R Crusader as a close assault 'Mech.[2]
