Delmar Clay was an early member of the Gray Death Legion.

History

Early life

Clay was born on Gladius.[4]

Career

Clay served with Hansen's Roughriders before becoming one of the Gray Death Legion's first recruits on Galatea.[1] During the Fourth Succession War on Otho Clay held off a vastly superior force, earning three kills before the battle ended nearly an hour later.[4][3]

Clay's final battle was against Clan Jade Falcon during their conquest of Sudeten in September 3050. During the Legion's desperate fighting retreat from that world Clay fell in combat at the controls of his Wolverine while trying to rally his troops for a counterattack.[2][7]

BattleMech

Rules

Game Rules

Showing steady improvement throughout the Fourth Succession War (Gunnery 4, Piloting 4)[4], and the War of 3039 (3/4)[8], by the time of the Clan Invasion Clay was a Veteran MechWarrior (3/3) with the Dodge and Fist Fire Special Piloting Abilities. Possessing Fist Fire also requires Clay to have Melee Specialist.[3][9][10][3][11]

Quote

Clay tells people to judge them as his enemies do. Because they're all dead. Most people get the message.[3]
