Biography
Piloting a Trebuchet and considered to possess veteran skills, Calvin Wakeman served in the heavy lance in Fraser's Company, Baker Battalion, Alpha Regiment in Wolf's Dragoons by 3028.[1]
Fraser's Company saw extensive action in the urban fighting against the Ryuken-ichi on An Ting when tensions between Wolf's Dragoons and their employer, the Draconis Combine, came to a head in January 3028, and Wakeman was among Captain Dechan Fraser's ad hoc strike force that spearheaded the Dragoons' final attack in the early morning hours of 13 January. It was Wakeman who responded to Thomas West's call for indirect missile fire, and Wakeman and other Dragoons launched a barrage directed by West as a spotter than destroyed a Guard SecurityMech and killed Willard Gibbs.[2]
Fraser's company including Wakeman later fought with the Dragoons on Misery. There, a lance composed of captain Dechan Fraser (Shadow Hawk), Thomas West (Griffin), Keith Gatlin (Ostscout) and Clavin Wakeman in his Trebuchet captured Fadre Singh on 23 April 3028 after downing his Crusader in the Hamar Valley, in one of the earliest skirmishes of the battle.[3] The same lance was implied to be the one that brought Minobu Tetsuhara's makeshift command lance to battle on 20 May, disabling his Dragon and Michi Noketsuna's Ostroc, leading to the capture of both officers.[4]
Ultimately, Wakeman's Trebuchet was destroyed in the fighting on Misery.[1] Fraser's company was disbanded after Misery. In the Fourth Succession War that followed, Wakeman was assigned to the medium lance of the 1st Provisional Company in a Panther and perished in the fighting on Glenmora.[1]
