Marco Moliotti was a model for gallant and honorable 'Mech combat for centuries to come. He combined fierce competitiveness with a deep reverence for BattleMechs (never inflicted more damage than necessary) and their pilots (he never killed an opponent).

His victory over [[Cabol Hirsch]] during [[Solaris VII]] Grand Tournament on [[2815]] is still remembered, as the press conference held after that fight. He defended the title for four years until deciding to retire.

Following his retirement from the Games, Moliotti settled somewhere around Solaris VII's Avalon Sea. Shortly before he disappeared, Moliotti was reported to have said that he saw an island rising out of the mists, a haven for honorable and gallant MechWarriors such as himself. Moliotti apparently felt he would soon be laid to rest on that island, surrounded by other warriors who'd laid aside their 'Mechs who watched over their pilots. Marco Moliotti would disappear two months later, presumed dead in the wilderness. Moliotti's legend of Avalon would be often repeated in the centuries afterwards most frequently in [[Black Hills]], with many [[Federated Suns]] loyalists feeling it plays upon their capital of [[New Avalon]] and the old Arthurian myth.<ref name=MWGtoS7-67>''MechWarrior's Guide to Solaris VII'', p. 67: "A Brief History of Solaris VII - Local Legends"</ref>
