History

When Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion took over the throne of the Federated Commonwealth from her sister Yvonne on December 22, 3060, Duke of Coventry Thomas Frederick Bradford, along with fellow noble ruler Duke Eric Dresari of Kentares IV, publicly condemned the takeover as an act of treason, labeling Katherine as a despot and usurper. However, Katherine could not have Bradford assassinated or otherwise removed from power, as he was regarded as a benevolent and popular ruler not only on Coventry, but by the citizens of the Lyran Alliance and Federated Commonwealth.

So on Christmas Day of 3062, the FedCom Civil War came to Coventry when the newly formed First Coventry Jaegers, a unit completely loyal to Archon Katherine, were ordered to disarm the renegade Coventry CPM. The Jaegers, backed up by the Free Worlds League-based mercenary unit Kristen's Krushers, wiped out the CPM and the Coventry Military Academy. When Colonel Kristen Marik, commander of the Krushers, protested against the iron-handed policies of Jaegers, Colonel Jason Walker attacked the Krushers and forced them off-world.

When Victor Steiner-Davion and his Allied forces arrived on Coventry on October 17th, 3063, Archon Katherine had "informed" Colonel Walker that Victor had come to destroy the Jaegers in retaliation for their destruction of the CPM. As a result, the Jaegers refused to surrender to Victor and were nearly destroyed to the last man by December 12th.

He most likely was not one of the fourteen soldiers that survived to be made prisoners.
