Isobel "Bel" Carlyle was a Lyran Commonwealth noble. She was cashiered from the LCAF despite her loyalty to the Lyran Commonwealth when her unit, the Twenty-sixth Arcturan Guards, went over to the newly formed Tamar Pact. Bel and her brother Ronan Carlyle, along with other former members of the 26th, formed the new Gray Death Legion on Garrison.

History

Born into House Carlyle of Odessa, she was expected to join her family in their work of restoring the plague-ravaged world to its previous greatness. However, the Blackout, which fell on her first birthday, changed her future. As she grow into an Inner Sphere ravaged by war, Isobel rejected her father's pacifism and sought to emulate her grandfather Alexander Carlyle, a hero of the LCAF who fought in the World of Blake JIhad and his parents, Lori Kalmar and Grayson Death Carlyle, founders of the mercenary Gray Death Legion. Isobel devoured every record of their exploits and made headbands and skull emblems, the symbol of the Legion, part of her attire.[3]

BattleMechs

During her time with the Twenty-sixth Arcturan Guards, Bel Carlyle piloted a Shadow Hawk dubbed "Tyche", apparently partly in homage to the legacy of "Boss Lady", the legendary Shadow Hawk piloted by her great-grandmother Lori Kalmar-Carlyle.[4] With the formation of the new Gray Death Legion on Garrison, Bel moved on to piloting a Hatchetman.[5]
