Samual "Shorty" Sneede was a member of the Snord's Irregulars mercenary unit in the early 31st century.

History

Among earliest members to join Snord's Irregulars at age 31, he reportedly hailed from world of Aur.

Samual was described as cheerful, outgoing, and a hard drinker who had started his career as a Tech. When he was a Tech he quietly smuggled BattleMech parts from the field marked as cooking supplies. He would become a MechWarrior due to his technical skills building his own 'Mech. He would be well known for his signature first BattleMech, a hybrid FrankenMech based on and often referred to as a Rifleman.[1]

He would remain with the unit until the 3060s, when he was killed by Katherine Steiner-Davion loyalists on Odessa who framed pro-Victor Steiner-Davion forces in an attempt to get the two forces to destroy one another.[citation needed]

BattleMechs

During the Third Succession War Sneede piloted a FrankenMech Rifleman that he had rebuilt himself. The so-called "RFL-3N Rifleman Sneede" featured a Phoenix Hawk head, the right arm from a Warhammer, and the left torso and arm from an Archer, with only the center and right torsos and legs left from the parent design. Built around the 3N's standard 240 rated fusion engine, much of the weapons and ammunition from the donor 'Mechs was retained, Sneede's custom design being armed with a right-arm mounted PPC, left-torso mounted LRM-20 with two tons of ammo, and three Medium Lasers—one fitted to the right torso and two to the left arm. Carrying a total of fourteen single heat sinks, Sneede's patchwork Rifleman was clad in nine tons of armor.[1] [2]

Following 3037 and the Irregulars' unveiling of recovered SLDF matériel, Sneede switched to piloting a vintage Crockett[3]

At the time of his death in 3063, Sneede piloted a Lancelot.[4]
