History
Teresa de Avila Chavez was one of those who served in the Seventeenth Recon Regiment, also known as Camacho's Caballeros, and was one of those on active duty with the Caballeros in 3056 when they were employed by Chandrasekhar Kurita to provide security for one of his companies, Hachiman Taro Enterprises. Given the nickname "La Guadalupana" by her peers, Teresa was a Lieutenant Junior Grade at the time of the Caballeros' posting to Hachiman.[2]
Serving in the Third Battalion at the time[2] as a Crusader pilot,[1] Teresa carried a surprising amount of influence within the Caballeros despite her low rank, because the Virgin of Guadalupe frequently appeared to her in visions. She had many people back home in the Southwest Trinity worlds who eagerly followed her exploits, and was particularly popular with people on Cerillos, where she was especially revered. This also meant that Teresa was one of those who served as a part of the Caballeros Council of Elders, the ruling body that dealt with matters that affected the entire regiment (and which was distinct from the Command Council, which dealt with purely military matters).[2]
On the 2nd of November 3056, the Seventeenth Recon were battling the Ninth Ghost regiment in Masamori as a result of orders from the Internal Security Force, who believed that Chandrasekhar Kurita was betraying the Draconis Combine to the Clans. Teresa was killed in action during the battles around the main HTE compound, when she led a charge inside the compound directly into a salient that the Ninth Ghost had managed to drive into the Caballeros' line. Her death was witnessed by a number of personnel from the Caballeros, and no less than five of her fellow MechWarriors swore after the battle that as flames were spiraling upwards from her Crusader, they witness angels swooping down to protect Teresa with their wings, and bear her up to heaven.[1]
