In March 3053, he joined Carstairs Stables, competing for them through 3054.[3][4] He wound up joining the Black Thorns during their formation in order to accompany another MechWarrior, Esmeralda.[5]

Personality and Traits[edit]
In his early Solaris years, O'Shea was a charming, if rough, man. He was boastful, but a dependable leader in times of danger. He developed a reputation for damaging drinking establishments.[3]
