History
Malerie Faulkner was a direct descendant of one or two Clans warriors, of Folkner (Bloodname), from Clan Jade Falcon. In an unknown date, she buyed an OmniMech and became mercenary, joining the unit Tally's Talons. By 3147, she had reached the rank of Captain and was the XO of Major Tallula Zheng, CO of the unit. At 19 September, she assisted to the negotiations of the contract renewal between Zheng and First Prince Julian Davion, feeling herself impressed by him.[1]
The 4 December, along with the rest of the Talons, Malerie made a combat drop upon New Syrtis, as part of Operation CERBERUS. Once on the ground, Zheng blamed Julian Davion by the Talon's 'Mechs' damages, claiming he was using the unit as bait. That disturbed Malerie, but didn't believe it. A day later, Tallula continued blaming the Davions of the unit's losses, saying they were using their unit, and other mercenary units, as cannon fodder. When the Talons joined the assault of the Cave, Zheng revealed Faulkner than the Talons had been contracted in secret by Capellan Chancellor Daoshen Liao-Centrella to assassinate Julian Davion. But when they attacked, the day 7, Faulker was unable to commit a dezgra and so un-clanlike attack, and turned against Tallula's Shrike, saving the Prince's life. A fight ensued, and Malerie, to her chagrin, was forced to kill her superior and friend. Later, Julian asked her to stand down, and she surrended to the Guards forces. She was the only known survivor of the Talons.[2]
Faulkner was rewarded by her actions being allowed to join Julian's personal entourage and enlist into the AFFS, with the rank of Leftenant. On 18 July 3148, on Saso, New Syrtis', capital, she assisted, impotent, to a nerve terrorist attack, unable to do nothing. On 17 August, she fought against the Capellan's massive counterattack, Operation WHIRLWIND. When Danai Liao-Centrella engaged Julian with Yen-Lo-Wang, Malerie led the charge to save him and rammed her Centurion, saving Julianm's life again, but in the process she was wounded and lost consciousness. It is implied she died of her wounds.[3]
