Ervin Rebelke was the 3065 to 3066 Solaris Games Grand Champion.

History[edit]

In 3051 Ervin Rebelke was fighting for Lion City Stables and ranked twelfth in the Solaris Top Twenty. Tall and blond, his face wearing a perpetual wide-eyed expression as if was baffled by all the attention, the gangling and likable Ervin Rebelke was considered to be a natural MechWarrior, on track to become a Top 5 contender unless he made a huge mistake or burned out.[1]

By 3059 Ervin Rebelke had indeed become a seasoned contender with grizzled exterior, a large gash running from his upper-brow to his left ear. In the wake of that year's Grand Tournament, Rebelke challenged then-Champion Theodore Gross to a title defense in the Steiner Stadium. On an interview on 21 September 3059 with Julian Nero, Rebelke boasted he'd own the past his prime Gross in the Coliseum, though the "Man in the Know" openly doubted this and wished the Rebelke luck.[2]

As of 3062 Rebelke was ranked third in the Top Twenty, fighting against the likes of then-Champion Theodore Gross and Evelyn Czerny. [3] Following the death of Gross and forced retirement of the crippled Czerny, Rebelke finally won the Championship in 3065. He would command the arenas of Solaris for the next year, winning the 3066 Championship as well, until his Atlas was defeated in spectacular fashion by a resurgent Kelley Metz' and her Ti Ts'ang in the rebuilt Steiner Stadium.[4]

Rather than challenge Metz to try and regain his title, Rebelke opted to retire from the Solaris Games and become a sports commentator on holovid show MechTalk, replacing its longtime host Todd Richards.[4]

BattleMechs[edit]

For most of his career Rebelke piloted a customized Atlas (spike-laden[5]) in a simple and straightforward manner, wading straight into an enemy firestorm, counting on his massive 'Mech's ability to weather such punishment to score serious hits on his opponent. While often simplistic, Rebelke was not foolhardy or relentless, often holding onto a strongpoint silently daring his enemies to come after him.[1]
