History
Early history
Attended New Avalon Military Academy where he became friends with Jacques de Gambier, whose grandfather had served in the same 'Mech unit as his own.[4]
Dan was assigned to the Kell Hounds by Hanse Davion[5] for his six year assignment in 3015.[6]
After events of Kell Hound's battle on Mallory's World in 3016, he found himself holding the unit together after Morgan Kell reduced the Hounds to battalion a sized unit.[7]
Originally piloting a Valkyrie, after its destruction he received a prototype Wolfhound which became Allard's signature 'Mech. Dan continued to pilot one despite rising to command of the Kell Hounds, until his death on Graceland in 3069 during combat against Clan Jade Falcon.
Death
Lt. Colonel Daniel Allard was died in combat with Clan Jade Falcon forces on June 12, 3069 after fighting with Taman Malthus, who he had met fourteen years earlier.[8]
BattleMechs
He piloted a Valkyrie until he sacrificed it to temporarily stop Yorinaga Kurita on Styx.[9]
After that he was given a new Wolfhound[10], that he piloted until his death. Sometimes during the Clan Invasion his 'Mech was fully enhanced with Clan technology.[11]
