Described as tall, daring and courageous, he enjoyed considerable success although his critics in the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Falcon ''touman'']] felt his tactics were needlessly reckless.<ref name=TBfT12>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 12</ref> ==History== ===Early Gains=== Star Colonel Malthus led the Falcon Guards to victory over the 17th Skye Rangers on [[Barcelona]],<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 36</ref> the second regiment of the 12th Star Guards on [[Toland]], and the Second Grave Walkers on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]].<ref>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 7</ref> ===Twycross=== ====The First Battle for Twycross==== The Falcon Guards then moved on to [[Battle of Twycross|conquer Twycross]]. On June 2, 3050, the Adler Malthus and his Guards entered the [[Twycross]] system and issued a ''[[batchall]]'' to the defending [[Twycross Tamar March Militia]], or Twycross TMM, under the command of [[Leftenant-General]] [[John Cicero]]. Cicero would refuse to reply to the battle challenge and the two forces met on the Plain of Curtains. Though outnumbered, Adler Malthus displayed the usual Falcon tendency for direct attacks and drove his forces straight at the enemy without scouting the terrain ahead of him. After three weeks of heavy fighting, Adler and his Guards would successfully take control of the planet.<ref>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 7-9</ref> ====The Second Battle for Twycross==== Twycross's infamous weather caused transportation delays and the Falcon Guards missed their scheduled transfer out of the Twycross system. Thus the Guards were still on Twycross when the [[Federated Commonwealth]] launched a counteroffensive in September 3050. It was Adler Malthus' brash nature that contributed to his downfall. Intent on flanking the FedCom forces, he led the Falcon Guards along the Great Gash without dispatching scouts to check the route first. Unaware of the [[pentaglycerine]] explosives planted by FedCom sappers, he accepted a one-on-one BattleMech duel with [[Kai Allard-Liao]].<ref name=TBfT12>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 12</ref> When Allard-Liao's damaged ''[[Hatchetman]]'' exploded, it took Star Colonel Malthus' OmniMech along with it, just moments before the detonation set off the demolition charges that collapsed the Great Gash on top of the Jade Falcon forces.<ref name=LH266-269-1>''Lethal Heritage'', pp. 266-269, Kai Allard-Liao challenges and destroys the Falcon Guards</ref> ===Death and Legacy=== Nearly all of the Falcon Guards perished in the Great Gash, and Adler Malthus was among them.

Ironically, he was greatly aided in his deeds on Alyina through an unlikely partnership with Adler's killer, [[Kai Allard-Liao]]. ==BattleMechs== Adler piloted a ''[[Summoner]]'' OmniMech during the battle of Twycross. ==Notes== Adler Malthus' body was never recovered, and some of his unit prisoners claimed that he managed to eject from his machine before the explosion. However, as he never appeared again, most believe he perished along with the rest of his cluster.<ref>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 10: Adler Malthus profile</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Battle for Twycross]]'' * ''[[Jade Falcon Sourcebook]]'' * ''[[Lethal Heritage]]'' [[Category: Clan Jade Falcon Characters|Malthus, Adler]]
