History[edit]
Born on one of the three Southwest Trinity worlds, Buck "Sawbuck" Evans was a MechWarrior who served in the Seventeenth Recon Regiment. Evans was a tall, lean man with close-shaved blond hair, except for a long ponytail.[1] His long service to the Caballeros saw him covered in scars, with a rough-cut and ugly face "like forty kliks of bad road" in his own words. [2]
As of 3049, Evans was a Staff Sergeant who served in the Caballeros as a Jenner pilot and the pillar of stability in a shakedown lance under a young lieutenant Gavilán Camacho, consisting of trouble cases such as William "Cowboy" Payson and Cassiopeia Suthorn. [3] By 3056, Evans was promoted to Lieutenant Senior Grade and piloting an Orion named "Buck's Bronc"[4] and was close friends with two of his contemporaries, the now-Lieutenant Junior Grade "Cowboy" Payson and Lieutenant Rebel "Reb" Perez.[5]
Evans would be present for and survive the Black Dragon Society' attempt on Theodore Kurita's life, killing many rogue DEST infiltrators by liberally applying LB-X Autocannon rounds against the traitorous special forces infantry.[6]
BattleMechs[edit]
Evans originally piloted an ancient, worn-down JR7-D Jenner named "Old Paint" during his days as a Staff Sergeant.[7]
Some time after his promotion, he received his ON1-M Orion which he would pilot for the rest of his career.
