Sergeant Aksel Vordel was a member of Wolf's Dragoons during the thirty-second century.
History
Aksel was a descendant of Hans Vordel, a Dragoons' founding member and friend and personal bodyguard of Jaime Wolf. Aksel won the Vordel Honorname, and rose to the rank of Sergeant prior to 3151, as member of the Wolfsbane battalion. Sometime after 3146, he received Nina Slade's Hellstar 'Mech, after her death in the battle of New Avalon.[1] After the death of the majority of the Dragoons during the Battle of Terra (3151), Aksel assisted, as with any other Dragoon's officer, at a meeting on the DropShip Chieftain. There, the new Dragoons' leader, Colonel Henry Kincaid tell them his plans to seek revenge against Clan Wolf. Aksel speak then, expressing his wished to fight, and Kincaid promised him there would be fight opportunities for all.[2]
Vordel's chance arrived months later, in October: after Kincaid tasked the newly promoted major Haya Tetsuhara to rebuild the long-defunct Zeta Battalion, Aksel was assigned as her personal bodyguard, the same task his ancestor make for Jaime Wolf. Aksel didn't talk much, but fully supported Haya.[3] When Zeta attacked the Wolf planet of Labouchere, Aksel' Mech was one of the first ones to disembark. A Indra tank shoot him, but Aksel simply laugh off and make blow the tank with only two ER PPCs.[4]
In their next target, the planet Alula Borealis, when Haya wanted to fight personally a Trial of Position for the planet with the Wolf commander, he screamed at her, but she fought anyway and win easily.[5] On the third target, Trellisane, the 17 February of 3152, Vordel's Mech was the first one to land, right before Haya, but despite the fight lasting weeks, barely had chances to fight, though he downed a Stingray fighter.[6]
During Zeta's raid to Gienah, the Wolf capital, Vordel was the second one to disembark, after Haya, the 6 of June, and helped to down a Wolf Dominator, and later, in an Alpha Strike, downed a Linebacker.[7]. In the battle of the capital, Alliago City, Vordel downed a Wolf Warwolf, and later fough against the Empire leader, Starl Colonel Othar, helping bring down its Blood Reaper. He was also he the one which remained Haya than they've achieved victory, despite the cost.[8]
