History[edit]
Early Life and Career[edit]
Mordon would serve ten years with the Twenty-third Marik Militia at the controls of his Black Knight, Greenburg left the Free Worlds League Military and made a name for himself as a combat correspondent for the Tharkad Broadcast Company during the final years of the Third Succession War, his coverage making him a household name across the Inner Sphere.
Godzillas[edit]
In 3027 while doing research on Galatea, Greenburg struck up a friendship with Philippe Rodan, survivor of the ill-fated Brownlee's Barracudas mercenary unit, and ultimately came up with a plan. Greenburg approached his TBC producer with the concept of a documentary series covering the day-to-day life of the first year of a new mercenary force led by Rodan and funded in part by TBC, with the network enthusiastic about the project but stipulating that holovid star Greenburg lead the new command.[1][2]
Thus was born the Greenburg's Godzillas holovid series, with Greenburg treating the viewers across the Inner Sphere to an up-close view of the mercenary life, the back streets and hiring halls of Galatea, tense contract negotiations and best bars and clubs of the Mercenary's Star. While initially highly successful, as the ratings fell cagey TBC executives canned the show on the cusp of the Fourth Succession War. By this point Greenburg hard established a firm relationship with the members of the "cast" and chose to remain at the head of his namesake unit and return to combat.[1][2]
BattleMech[edit]
Greenburg was known to pilot a Black Knight BattleMech.[2]
