Buck Evans was an officer within the mercenary Seventeenth Recon Regiment, also known as Camacho's Caballeros.[1]

History

Born on one of the three Southwest Trinity worlds, Buck "Sawbuck" Evans was a MechWarrior who served in the Seventeenth Recon Regiment. Buck was a tall, lean man, with a blonde ponytail.[1] By 3056, Buck was piloting an Orion named "Buck's Bronc"[2] and was close friends with two of his contemporaries, Lieutenant Junior Grade Billy "Cowboy" Payson and Lieutenant Rebel "Reb" Perez.[3]

Evans would be present for and survive the Black Dragon attempt on Theodore Kurita's life, killing many rogue DEST infiltrators by liberally applying LB-X Autocannon rounds against the traitorous special forces infantry.[4]

BattleMechs

Evans originally piloted an ancient, worn-down JR7-D Jenner named "Old Paint" during his days as a Staff Sergeant.[5]

Some time after his promotion, he received his ON1-M Orion which he would pilot for the rest of his career.
