Marthe Pryde

Khan Marthe Pryde, as illustrated by D. Alexander Gregory

Marthe Pryde (3010 – 15 May, 3076, aged 66 years) was Khan of Clan Jade Falcon for xx years (xxxx – 3076). She was trueborn of Ramon Mattlov-Tania Pryde sibko, the same as the legendary Aidan Pryde. Raised on Ironhold, she won her Trial of Position by turning on Aidan and defeating him. She subsequently rose through the ranks to become Khan of her Clan after Khans Vandervahn Chistu and Elias Crichell were killed by Vlad Ward. She led the Clan Jade Falcon assault on the Lyran world of Coventry and has cooperated with Vlad Ward of Clan Wolf, the Jade Falcons' hated rivals, to keep their Clans alive and replenish themselves.

During the Great Refusal, Khan Pryde led her Jade Falcons to vengeance and victory over ComStar's 2nd Division. Among the eight Clans that fought, the Falcons were one of only two Clans to succeed. However, bound by the rules of the Refusal, Clan Jade Falcon was still forced to repudiate the Invasion.

Khan Pryde died on 15 May, 3076, possibly of mechanical failure with her 'Mech. There are are also more sinister rumors of death by sabotage. Clan Jade Falcon has offered little information as to the circumstances surrounding her passing.
