Candace Liao
Sarna News
Oldest daughter of Maxmilian Liao, she was an accomplished MechWarrior before injuries forced her into less active roles. Eventually she met Davion spy Justin Xiang on Sian in 3027. In 3029 at the end of the Fourth Succession War, she escaped with the rescue mission sent for 'Xiang' (Allard), broke off the St. Ives Compact from the battered Confederation, and married Allard. Surviving the assassin that killed her husband in 3052, she secretly traveled to Sian while she was believed dead to kill her sister Romano. She allowed Sun-Tzu Liao to take the throne, because she saw him as the best option for the Confederation. She has led the Compact in its re-integration into the Capellan Confederation as the St. Ives Commonality, and is among the oldest major players in the Inner Sphere.
She was killed when a Word of Blake WarShip bombarded the Capellan capital of Sian during their Jihad.
