Contents
History
Parkensen was a veteran of the Clan Invasion, serving with several units. He was on Tarnby with the Fourth Pesht Regulars, but in the battle od Diver's Grotto, his unit was mauled by the Sixth Jaguar Dragoons and almost annihilated. He was one of the handful of survivors evacuated. He was wounded, so returmed to Luthien for treatment. He was still there during the Battle of Luthien. Despite don't being fully healed, he volunteered to fight, but the Clan Nova Cat forces destroyed his 'Mech. Commended by Theodore Kurita, Parkersen was later posted to the Fourth Alshain Regulars on Rubigen... right on time for the unit to be mauled by the Clan Ghost Bears. Once again, he survived. He was later assigned to the Northwind Highlanders in 3058.[1]
Wayside V
The sho-sa was almost killed during an air strike by Clan Smoke Jaguar forces upon the task force he was traveling with whilst he was dismounted.[2]
Aftermath
Parkersen, after the victory, raised the Combine's flag upon Wildcat Station. He, for first time, thanked Colonel Stirling for the victory, and appeared to be very proud and positive about the next battles against the Clans. He was expecting to be garrisoned on Wayside for some time, but it is known than soon after, the Combine abandoned the planet, allowing the Jaguars to retake it.[3][4]
Personality
Parkersen's personality, during almost all Wayside's campaign, may be described as an arrogant bastard. Probably for the Combine's traditional opinion of mercenaries, but also because his commands' previous losses had affected him. He always pointed the problems in any plan, and acted arrogantly, specially on battle, refusing help when he needed it, and never thanking when someone had saved his life. He appears to have been actively searching death. Only after the airfield attack he began acting more quiet. After the end of the Wayside campaign, however, he became more respectful with the Highlanders.[5]
BattleMech
Parkensen piloted a patchwork Gran Dragon in Luthien. In Wayside V, his 'Mech was a Hatamoto-Chi[6][7][8]
