William Jeffreys was the commanding officer of Jeffrey's Own between 3057 and 3066.[1] He was also a sort of second-in-command of the Fist of Mokal between the same period.
History[edit]
In 3057, Jeffreys' unit was loaned to the Capellan Confederation for their invasion of FedCom space, fighting on the planet Sheratan. Due to the actions of his unit during the fighting on Sheratan and the death of thousands of civilians while the Fist were there the Free Worlds League voided both Jeffrey's Own and the Fist of Mokal mercenary companies contracts were terminated and proscribed the units, making them outcasts, unwelcome on Outreach and considered pariah by all.
In dire straits and ready to disband the Fist, Major Rocco Valdez was approached by Word of Blake representatives on Galatea. Offered a contract by an aged Demi-Precentor, both the Fist and Jeffrey's Own accepted and were shipped to Terra Firma where they were put in contact with Blakist friendly separatist groups. After only two weeks the mercenary and Word of Blake insurrectionists were successful and Capolla had been secured.
The planets Liaoist sympathizers went underground and continued guerrilla actions, eventually culminating in the kidnapping and brutal murder of Major Jeffries in 3066. Major Valdez, wanting to head off another Sheratan in the making, convinced the MechWarriors of Jeffrey's Own to forgo vengeance and merge with the Fist.
