Burton Rothroc was the stablemaster and founder of Banshees Stables.[1]
History[edit]
Burton Rothroc started his career with the Lion City Stables, where he learned his trade. Then he started the Banshees Stables business venture in 3049. After the Truce of Tukayyid was archived in 3052, the stable began growing by leaps and bounds due to number of retired veterans joining the stable, though also other new members to the stables were refugees from the decimated Free Rasalhague Republic. In 3055 his son was killed by the Huntsmen in a Tag-Team match. Rothroc developed a vendetta against the suspected former Clansman and pushed his people into a decade-long feud against them.[1][2]
Notes[edit]
The stable merged with Gemini Stables on 3077 with Tanya O'Bannon in charge,[3] and it is not known which position Burton Rothroc got after the merge.[citation needed]

Apocryphal Variants[edit]
During Burton's time with Lion City Stables he piloted a heavily customized Banshee dubbed Siren. Boasting impressive speed along with Jump Jets, Siren was fitted with an extremely long-ranged loadout, helping Burton Rothroc earn an exceptional track record in the arenas. In August 3047 he surprised many when he put his prized 'Mech up for sale on the open market, leading to rumors he needed the additional capital to form his own stable after leaving Lion City.[4]
