===Death===
Allard continued to pilot his [['Mech]] despite rising to command of the Kell Hounds, until his death on [[Graceland]] in [[3069]] during combat against [[Clan Jade Falcon]], on 12 June [[3069]], when the Falcons abandoned ''zellbringen''. His killer, ironically, was his nephew's friend, [[Taman Malthus]].

Lt. Colonel [[Daniel Allard]] was killed in combat with [[Clan Jade Falcon|Clan Jade Falcon forces]] on June 12, [[3069]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p.??</ref>
Daniel's death was deeply felt by the Hounds. Despite Allard being replaced at command by [[Akira Brahe]], the troops were so demoralized by their loss than had to evacuate Graceland. On Arc-Royal, Duke Morgan Kell declared a week of mourning, and Margrave [[Adam Steiner]] postumously awarded Allard with the Alliance Medal of Honor in a heartfelt ceremony on [[Atocongo]].<ref name=TRO:3050Up32>''Technical Readout: 3050 (Upgrade)'', p. 32: "Wolfhound"</ref><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. ??</ref><ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'' p. 75</ref>
