Some years after the events depicted in [[Way of the Clans]], Aidan (posing as the freeborn Jorge) is serving as a Star Commander performing garrison duty on [[Glory (system)|Glory]]. He is leading a star of freeborn MechWarriors (among them his long-term comrade [[Horse]]) under the command of [[Star Colonel]] [[Kael Pershaw]]. Being assigned only the crudest tasks, trueborns would not be bothered with, he grows more and more dissatisfied with his situation.

Some years after the events depicted in [[Way of the Clans]], Aidan (posing as the freeborn Jorge) is serving as a Star Commander performing garrison duty on [[Glory (planet)|Glory]]. He is leading a star of freeborn MechWarriors (among them his long-term comrade [[Horse]]) under the command of [[Star Colonel]] [[Kael Pershaw]]. Being assigned only the crudest tasks, trueborns would not be bothered with, he grows more and more dissatisfied with his situation.
 
His pride and unwillingness to back down from the insults of arrogant trueborns, result him constantly being involved in conflicts and fights. Because of his killing of the trueborn MechWarrior Bast in a bar fight, he is punished by Kael Pershaw. However, soon after a Clan Wolf force arrives in the System, declaring a Trial of Possession for the genetic material of Star Colonel Kael Pershaw. Because of the destruction of arriving Jade Falcon forces in space by Wolf Aerospace Fighters, Pershaw's forces are severely outnumbered. By implementing a plan inspired by reading poetry in his secret book collection, Aidan is instrumental in achieving victory over the wolf forces led by [[Star Captain]] [[Dwillt Radick]].
