A member of the cadet line of the House Steiner, Adam Steiner (born 3024[1] - died 3???) first rose to prominence in a daring reconnaissance mission during the Clan Invasion, eventually becoming Archon of the Lyran Alliance/Lyran Commonwealth during the final years of the Word of Blake Jihad.

Character History
Early Life to Clan Invasion
Adam was a member of a cadet line of the Steiner family who first rose to prominence in a daring reconnaissance mission through territory held by Clan Jade Falcon. Noted for liberating his homeworld of Somerset in a Trial of Possession against Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus (who had developed a personal enmity with Steiner); this victory was soured, however, by the Falcons decision to relocate the world's population before the trial took place.
FedCom Civil War
Adam remained in the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces when Katrina Steiner seceded from the Federated Commonwealth, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General. He was involved in the defense of the Lyran Alliance against the Jade Falcons when they attacked during the FedCom Civil War, and was the commander of the Lyran forces during Operation Audacity. He negotiated the Blair Atholl Agreement after fighting the Falcons alongside Archer Christifori and the troops sent by Victor Ian Steiner-Davion.

When the civil war ended, Steiner was named General of the Armies. He would briefly succeed Peter Steiner-Davion to the Archonship of the Lyran Alliance in late 3071 when Peter handed the title to him in the face of continued Word of Blake occupation of Tharkad. Adam then promptly invaded Tharkad and freed both the capital and Peter from Blakist forces. As a show of Lyran solidarity, he handed the Archonship back over to Peter in early 3072.
Ultimately, Peter was overthrown by the Brotherhood of Cincinnatus, who then brought Adam back into the Archonship as part of a plan to install a "pure" Steiner into the seat of power. The plan backfired when Adam discovered their meddling and he destroyed the brotherhood on the planet Gacrux.
BattleMechs
During his service at the Nagelring, Adam piloted a LRM equipped AXM-2N Axman which he would used during the early missions of the 1st Sommerset Strikers. [2] Steiner would later receive an customized Command Console equipped AWS-9Ma Awesome which he would pilot during the liberation of Somerset. By the FedCom Civil War, the future Archon was piloting a Thunder Hawk.
Family & Marriage
While often linked with Rachel Spector, a former Nagelring cadet who accompanied him on the Somerser Striker mission, with increasing political pressure to strengthen his realm and the line of succession, Adam married Heather Fyhne, the heir to Arcturus Archonette, in a by Lyran standards relatively tiny wedding on December 11th 3074. Viewed by many as purely a political arrangement, days after the wedding the couple announced they were expecting a son, Andrew Steiner after Adam's deceased older brother, who was born in 3075.

Adam is the grandfather of Roderick Steiner, unknown but assumed to be a son of Andrew.[5]
