History[edit]
Early life[edit]
Ryder was born into a Lyran MechWarrior family.[citation needed]
Career[edit]
Ryder would spend time with Monk's Marauders mercenary unit before joining the First Somerset Strikers.[1]
Ryder was recruited by Adam Steiner on the planet Dustball where he was working as a mercenary to pay off his gambling debts. One of the conditions of his employment was the rank of captain and command of a lance, to which Major Steiner agreed and placed him in charge of the medium lance, consisting only of Ryder's own Centurion.[citation needed]
BattleMechs[edit]
Valten Ryder piloted his family's Centurion during the early stages of his time with the First Somerset Strikers, before receiving a prototype BSW-X1 Bushwacker.[citation needed]
Notes[edit]
- An apocryphal version of the Valten Ryder's Bushwacker, dubbed the High Roller, is one of the Hero 'Mechs in the MechWarrior Online video game.
