Wu Kang Kuo was the commanding officer of the Harloc Raiders in 3056 to at least 3059.[2][3]
History[edit]
The Coventry Campaign[edit]
During Clan Jade Falcon's push on Coventry in 3058, Sharon Bryan and her Eleventh Lyran Guards were briefly rotated to Tharkad in case of a potential breakthrough. [4] They were later part of the massive multinational Inner Sphere relief force led by First Prince Victor Steiner-Davion and Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht. [5] Bryan did not endear herself to the other commanders of the expedition, as she demanded a commanding position in planning and operations. She also questioned the commitment of the mercenary portion of the force, as they were being paid. Colonel Daniel Allard pointed out that Bryan's Eleventh Lyran Guards had retreated in the face of combat on Callison, infuriating the Marshal but briefly silencing her.[6] Bryan also repeatedly suggested the Jade Falcons would oppose the landing of the task force, despite the fact she had little experience opposing the Clans. Victor Steiner-Davion and Ragnar of Clan Wolf-in-Exile both insisted that the tradition-minded Falcons would honor safcon, but Bryant remained highly skeptical. When Focht, the victor of the Battle of Tukayyid, stated that his 472nd Com Guard Division would be the first unit to land, she retorted that "You'll bleed just as easily as any FedCom." [7] When Victor Steiner-Davion and Caradoc Trevena ultimately offered the Falcons hegira, allowing them to depart from Coventry with no further fighting, Bryan bitterly protested in light of the destruction the Falcons had inflicted. She even went so far as to name Trevena, who had spent three hard months fighting the Falcons, a coward. She was rebuked by Prince Victor, Focht and Trevena, as the result forced the Falcons to withdraw and spared both the Clan and Inner Sphere forces from a battle that would have devastated both sides. [8] Bryan would continue to express disgust for the move in the months to follow, even though the other commanders of the task force - including Sir Paul Masters of the Knights of the Inner Sphere and Wu Kang Kuo of the Harloc Raiders - both found the situation acceptable.[9]
