Jeremiah Youngblood

Jeremiah Youngblood was a Phoenix Hawk LAM pilot who, by 3016, commanded the long-range scout lance of 3rd company, 2nd bataillon of the mercenary unit Kell Hounds. This notable lance consisted of his Phoenix Hawk LAM, two Stinger LAMs and a Wasp LAM.

He also commanded the original Crescent Hawks up until 3028, a unit he presumably served in after Morgan Kell reduced the Kell Hounds from a regiment to to a single bataillon following the Phantom 'Mech incident in 3016.

In 3028, House Kurita staged a raid against Pacifica (Chara III) and Jeremiah Youngblood went missing when the Citadel was destroyed. His son Jason Youngblood, then a cadet at the Pacifica Training School, and Crescent Hawks member Rex Pearce subsequently formed a guerilla force and managed to thwart the Kurita invasion.

It later turned out that Jeremiah Youngblood had been taken prisoner and was held captive on the Kurita district capitol of Dieron. Under the leadership of his son Jason and with aid from the Kell Hounds and the Federated Suns, the Crescent Hawks staged "Operation Liberty", an objective raid against the Dieron prison, in the middle of the Fourth Succession War and freed the prisoners, including Jeremiah Youngblood.

At the successful conclusion of Operation Liberty and the return of the DropShip in June 3029, Katrina Steiner promoted Jason Youngblood to Captain and made him commander of the Crescent Hawks, implying that Jeremiah Youngblood, who had spent several months in Kurita captivity, retired from the same position.
