Ramiel Bekker was a ristar in Clan Ghost Bear before being taken as bondsman by Alaric Ward in 3146. He was commonly known as the "WarBear."
History[edit]
Ramiel was decanted from a strain of the Bekker genetic heritage and was bloodkin to Angela Bekker. The majority of washouts from his sibko would end up placed in the Scientist Caste, a testament to the rare warrior-scientist qualities this genetic combination created.[1][2]
Among Clan Ghost Bear he quickly rose to ristar status, becoming the second-youngest to ever to complete the Clawing Ritual, the scars from which remained on his chest.[3][4] He had extensive involvement in the creation of the Kontio among other Ghost Bear Mechs and the Callisto battle armor.[5][2][6] Sometime later he distinguished himself well against Clan Hell’s Horses on Kobe.[3]
A staunch Warden, the passivity the Ghost Bear’s exhibited upon forming the Rasalhague Dominion never sat well with him.[5] He had risen to Star Colonel by the time he first met Alaric on Terra in May 3135.[1] By February 3146 he had newly tested for Galaxy Commander when Khan Alaric Ward challenged him for a Trial of Possession and won.[3]
Clan Wolf[edit]
While a bondsman, Bekker designed the Stormwolf and he was insistent on providing Laser Anti-Missile System, Jump Jets, MASC, and a Supercharger as fixed equipment to force MechWarriors to develop tactics based on that fixed equipment.[2] He designed the Amarok which he considered his crowning achievement and borrowed heavily from the Hammerhead.[2][7] He also worked on the Crucible.[8] Star Commander Ray Black was a military analyst on Bekker's staff.[9] Bekker also designed the melee focused Kontio, piloting the prototype in battle himself. Achieving victory by impaling his opponent, ristar Star Captain Justine with his claws through her Savage Wolf's cockpit the project was nearly ended with the implicit dishonor of such actions. However, the speed and efficiency Bekker demonstrated has instead forced reluctant reconsideration of physical attacks in the Wolf touman.[10]
On 1 January 3151 Alaric cut Ramiel’s bondcord – making him a Wolf Warrior – and put him in command of the Tactical Response Cluster as a Galaxy Commander once more.[11][12]
Death and Legacy[edit]

Bekker was killed during the headhunter counterattack on March 7, in 3151 at 10:05.[14]. Ramiel would be known as a 'Mech and battle armor designer, commissioning different concepts for both the Rasalhague Dominion and Clan Wolf. His designs would continue to see use during the Battle of Terra and the ilClan Trial, leading to Clan Wolf's victory. When ilKhan Alaric Ward approached the Ghost Bear Khans, he would acknowledge their help through Ramiel's sacrifice to honor his memory.[13]
BattleMech[edit]
In the 3146 Trial of Possession, Bekker defended himself in a Ryoken II.[3]
In the 3151 invasion of Terra Bekker piloted a Stormwolf B with a red-painted cockpit.[11]
