Thomas Brubaker (3093 – 31??) assumed the role of commanding officer of the Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit in 3137.[1][2]
History
In 3139, when the Dragoons signed a new contract with the Draconis Combine, Brubaker was determined to recover the old prestige and independence of the unit and show it to all the Inner Sphere states. To avoid antagonizing their new masters, and after arriving to Gandy's Luck, warned his men to respect the kuritans and don't carry visible weapons. [3] Under Brubaker's command, the Dragoons, with assistance of a Ryuken regiment, easily conquered the Draconis Rift, a independent ten-worlds region. By 3140, several of their regiments have even launched a daring incursion inside Federated Suns space, targeting the planet Glenmora, but found themselves trapped on planet. The Ryuken lead a recovery mission, rescuing them. After returning to Combine space, Brubaker congratulated the mission leader, Colonel Henry Kincaid for his survival.[4]
But the relations between the Dragoons and their employers became worse after the fall of New Avalon. In 3150, the kuritans began putting the mercenaries to a garrison duty, and erase their participation in their victories. At the end of November, Brubaker travelled to planet Parma to adress the problems of Gamma Regiment of the Dragoons, as several of their officers have been arrested and put on a jail by the kuritans. Despite the fact than their "crimes" are for minor matters, when no deliberately fabricated, Brubaker blamed Gamma's leader, Colonel Nicholas Crew, and refused to put pressure on the kuritan liaison, Tai-sa Reiko Akamine.[5] The same day, a Clan Wolf envoy arrived on planet. The envoy, Marotta Kerensky was a cunning and patient officer, who knew a lot about the Dragoon's history and admired them. He was there to invite the Dragoons to join the Clan Wolf again, at least temporally, to help their former clan to defend Terra agains the Clan Jade Falcon imminent attack. Marotta's arguments were very convincing, but Brubaker didn't want to compromise his contract with the Combine. However, many officers don't think as he. When crews sided actively with Marotta, Brubaker, furious, stripped him of his post.[6] But the general had made a big mistake: Crew took his regiment and, along with Marotta, rescued their people from the kuritan prison, preparing to leave the planet to Terra. Brubaker keep all the inside conflict hidden to the kuritans, and with their command company, chased Crew's men, expecting to capture them and prevent a ew Dragoon's civil war.[7] Anyway, he failed: Brubaker's unit fell to an ambush of Crew's and Marotta's Dragoons, and his 'Mech was almost destroyed by Crew's one. Reluctantly, Brubaker ordered his surviving men to cease the fight. As a prisoner, the general cannot prevent Gamma's leaving, and warned Crew than his acts will initiate a new Dragoon's Civil War, but Marotta convinced him to hide all what happened under the excuse of a "training accident", and Brubaker agreed to do so, terminating the contract with the Combine and sending all the Dragoons units he can to Terra to fight aside the Wolves.[8]
Battlemechs
