'''Wyndham''' was a failed [[aerospace fighter|aerospace]] pilot and successful [[tank]] driver of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in the late [[Dark Age era]].

==History==
Wyndham was a [[trueborn]] Jade Falcon genetically engineered as an aerospace pilot. However, he failed at his [[Trial of Position]]. Wyndham refused to become a flight technician with the Falcon's fleet, instead volunteering for combat with Turkina's ground forces, remaining a warrior.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 8</ref>

As the Clans had reduced greatly their aerospace and [[BattleMech]] numbers, and had expanded their [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and [[Infantry]] branches, he joined the first one, piloting a tank. His fighter's eyesight, reflexes, and cryogenic nerve made him not only to win a position in that service, but so proficient in his job than even [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] accorded him respect. 

He joined [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Malvina Hazen]]'s [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] at an unknown date, and with them, in [[3134]] participated in the ''[[desant]]'', the invasión of [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s space. Wyndham survived through all the operation, and he had become by consensus, the best driver in all the Gyrfalcons. For this reason, on the 3 August [[3135]], when [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Tristan Fletcher]] arrived on [[Skye]] to declare a [[Trial of Position]] over the [[Mongol Doctrine]], and Malvina choose to fight in a tank, choosing him as her driver.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 16</ref> Wyndham followed all Malvina's orders blindly, without hesitation, even when she ordered him to ram Fletcher's [[Scimitar Mk.II]]. The impact left Wyndham pinned in his tank's wreck, with his right leg broken. Malvina congratulated him before jump out of the tank to kill Fletcher with her hands.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 25</ref>

When Malvina took a Galaxy of his units to [[Sudeten]], to fight [[Khan of Clan Jade Falcon|Khan]] [[Jana Pryde]] and took the command of all his Clan, Wyndham was one of them. On 14 September 3135 on Sudeten, he was piloting an [[APC]] when the Khan's loyalists tried to assassinate Malvina, and he was the one to evacuate her.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 81</ref> Despite being attacked by a Falcon's ''[[Kit Fox (Uller)|Uller]]'' [[OmniMech]], Wyndham managed to avoid most of the fire, and piloted his damaged hover through the city. When found fight in the way, suggested their passengers to leave the APC and hole on a building, but it wasn't necessary: the Mongol Falcon followers arrived and rescued them. When they reached their destination, Malvina was furious for the ''rough ride'' he gave her. The driver awaited his punishment, and was very surprised to hear her promotion to [[Star Captain]] rank. Malvina didn't accepted a refusal, and the surprised Wyndham accepted the promotion.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 89</ref>

==Personality==
Wyndham, surprisingly, appears to lack any ambition, and have refused advancement in rank and in position, even to more prestigious of gunner or vehicle commander. Such behavior was at odds with Clan character, and more of hot-blooded Falcon nature. It had been suggested than he may be simply searching death serving the Falcon expiating the shame of his failure in the Trial of Position, but in is uncertain.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 9</ref> 

==Combat Vehicles==
It is unknown what class of tank Wyndham commonly piloted, but during the duel against the Hell's Horses, his machine was a [[Scimitar Mk.II]]. In Sudeten, he piloted a [[Merlin (Combat Vehicle)|Merlin]]-hover APC.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 80</ref>

==Notes==
It is unknown at which [[Bloodname House]] Wyndham belonged.
