History
Born on Randar in 2992, Dimitri Shenzeng came from House Shenzeng, a noble house long known for producing MechWarriors who loyally served the Capellan Confederation for centuries. During the final decade of the Third Succession War Dimitri was downed in battle and taken captive alongside a number of other Capellan pilots by pirates operating out of the Free Worlds League, who demanded a ransom for their return. Dimitri's father unwilling to bow to their request, instead opted to hire the services of Nik's Cavaliers to rescue his son, the mercenary tracking the pirates to Lopez and then Ryerson where they succeeded in rescuing the captives.[1]
Feeling that he owed Commander Mason for rescuing him from the pirates, Dimitri's deep sense of honor led him to declare a life-debt to Mason, pledging his allegiance to Nik's Cavaliers.[1]
Notes
- Dimitri Shenzeng's pilot profile claims he was born in 2092, which is centuries before the invention of the BattleMech let along the Third Succession War era of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. It is assumed that his birthdate is actually intended to be the more plausible 2992.[1]
- Capt. Shenzeng is one of the High Reward Quest pilots[1]
