History

"Archangel" was born on Drozan.

A strange illness emptied the lance of damaged Battlemechs seeking refuge in the mining town of Hahnsak, but fear kept the villagers to use them.

But when necesity came, in form of raiders, four young boys who had been playing with the 'Mechs for years, took them and tried to defend their home. They failed in their defense, but impressed the leader enought to be left alive, though their equipment was taken. That leader also left the community enough to rebuild with. "Archangel" ralied his friends and they trained with Agromechs. And then the raiders came back after a few years. The four boys tried again to defense their hometown. They lost again, but they did it no worse than in the previous engagement and with inferior equipment.

Impressed, the pirate leader took them instead of the equipment. They were split among the pirate ships, and since then "Archangel" has never seen them again. The pirate leader redirected his fury and put his stubborn recklessness to good use. He stood with the pirates untill the pirate leader decided to retire. At that time, she kicked him out of her gang and told him he would do better in a proper mercenary crew.

He has been fighting in improvised Agromech fights untill he can find a good mercenary unit to follow.
