−	Armstrong's cause of death differs between canon sources and apocryphal content.

It turned out that Armstrong did not survive the destruction of his 'Mech (a ''[[Griffin]]'' he called ''Ares'').<ref name=EG22>''Warrior: En Garde'', ch. 22</ref> Despite his loyalty to House Davion, [[MIIO]] head [[Quintus Allard]] felt that Armstrong had been a "problematic" character (like all six Davion-affiliated gladiator MechWarriors Justin Xiang Allard had killed by that time, including [[Billy Wolfson]]) and was happy to be rid of him, implying Armstrong was either a criminal, a troublemaker or otherwise a liability to House Davion.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', ch. 36</ref> Peter Armstrong had a wife and a daughter. His wife remarried to a surgeon named [[Roy Lear]], and Armstrong's daughter was adopted though she initially refused to change her name as she idolized her father (as well as Philip Capet and Billy Wolfson) as martyrs. When Justin Allard was later revealed as a double agent and hero, his opponents including Armstrong were denounced traitors and she changed her name to [[Deirdre Lear]].<ref>''Blood Legacy'', ch. 21</ref> She would later meet and eventually marry Justin Allard's son, [[Kai Allard-Liao]], despite initially hating him because his father had killed hers. ==BattleMechs== Armstrong's 'Mech (''Ares'') was apparently a standard GRF-1N model; its armament is explicitly described as a [[PPC]] in the right arm and an [[LRM]] launcher on the right shoulder.<ref name=EG22/> An [[apocryphal]] version of Armstrong's [[Ares (MWO Hero 'Mech)|''Ares'']] appears in the video games ''[[MechWarrior Online]]'' and ''[[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries]]'' as one of the game's [[Hero 'Mech]]s. ==Notes== Armstrong's cause of death differs between canon sources and apocryphal content.
