Purpose
This template is meant only for fictional characters within the BattleTech universe. (For articles about real persons who are relevant to BattleTech, use Template:InfoBoxRealPerson instead.)

In some cases, a person may only be known under an assumed name; in this case, put "Unknown" into this field.
- othernames =
- Known aliases or appellations for the person in question.
- birthdate =
