History
Jonas Saunders was a Solaris VII MechWarrior during the Dark Ages.[1]
Jonas Saunders is a staunch Swordsworn supporter who was forced to take his leave from the military when House Davion came calling to absorb their worlds. He was unwilling to give up combat and decided to migrate to Solaris VII, where he continues to keep his skills in the cockpit honed just in case the Swordsworn ever need him again.
Though Jonas Saunders frequents all the right parties, though gossip by media outlets reports he's is also just as comfortable staying at home, where he is assembling 'Mech models of previous Solaris champions.[2]
He was in Solaris when the Wolf Empire conquered the world. When the Wolves allowed the Games to continue, he was surprised like most gladiators like Saunders, and didn't expect himself facing a wave of Wolf contenders, determined to "test the mettle" of these "pseudo-warriors".
Saunders found himself squaring off against MechWarrior Mariesa, a Wolf Empire MechWarrior piloting a Warwolf Prime in the Steiner Coliseum. The fight was brutal, and though Saunders was at a severe disadvantage, he managed to prevail, thanks to several solid hits from his TSEMPs, which shut down Mariesa's Warwolf long enough for him to cripple it permanently using his lasers and feet.[3]
Death and Legacy
No information is currently known regarding his death.
Marriage and Children
Unknown.
Tactics
Cynosure sacrifices some in the way of special equipment. In an effort to overcome its slower speed, Cynosure packs a TSEMP punch to slow down the opposition long enough to bring its long-range missiles to bear. Toward the end, Cynosure tries not to become a victim of its own tactics, by adding a couple clicks of Electronic Camouflage, encouraging its opponents to come at it head on - which, in the end, is probably for the best: Not many units can pull off a screaming don't-hit-me-orange without blinding some poor pilot in the process.[1]

Notes
Tactics and Secrets:
- Are you out of your mind?
- High-Octane Construction Orange paint job on a 'Mech?
- With Wolf Hunters Metallic Red highlights, if you please.
- Flamin' 'Mech will be visible from a mile off...
- That‘s the point. Look up Cynosure in a dictionary sometime.
