History
A scion of the wealthy and influential Kincaid family, Charles Kincaid has the distinction of being the test pilot of the MSK-5S Mackie during the first combat trial for a BattleMech.[4] In 2439, Kincaid's Mackie squared off against—and promptly destroyed—a number of remote controlled Merkava Mk. VI heavy tanks, ushering in the age of the BattleMech with its demonstration.[5][6]
As the Kincaid family had vested interests in a number of weapon firms and Charles Kincaid himself enjoyed good relations with the ruling Cameron family invariably faced charges of favoritism, but nevertheless Kincaid proved himself a capable pilot at the controls of the Mackie. As a result, Kincaid—then a Colonel—went on to command a company of BattleMechs within the 801st Heavy Armored Regiment.[4] In 2443 the 801st would in turn be involved in the first ever battle in the Inner Sphere to involve BattleMechs, when a lance from the 801st went on to destroy a company of armor with infantry support from a raiding party from the Draconis Combine outside the city of Barbados on the planet Styx, although whether Kincaid was involved directly in this battle is unknown.[7][8]
