Colonel Steven Zaks was a Lyran Commonwealth officer.
History[edit]
Steven Zaks graduated from the prestigious Nagelring on Tharkad and by 3025, he was the commanding officer of the Twelfth Donegal Guards regiment. Zaks was also known to carry a riding crop, something so few officers did, indicating he was either young, vain, or both.[2]
In 3026, Steven Zaks and his Donegal Guards participated in the Operation GALAHAD wargames on Avigait, joining with AFFS Marshal Jackson Davion and his Second Crucis Lancers in a training exercise combining the two forces into a unified Federated Commonwealth coalition in preparation for the merger of the House Steiner and House Davion militaries into a single, centralized army. They were tasked with executing a joint-operation to destroy a decommissioned orbital defense system being garrisoned by Crater Cobras and Nik's Cavaliers mercenary forces.[3]
Colonel Zaks and his Guards were in position before the Lancers and, impatient and overestimating the abilities of the mercenaries, started the attack without them. The lack of coordination between the two Houses allowed the mercenaries to repel their forces and launch an immediate counterattack on their headquarters. The bulk of the Crater Cobras advanced on them, prompting the coalition forces to overcompensate with too many units to face them after their earlier failure; however, this was only a diversion, as this allowed the Cavaliers to conduct a surgical strike and take out their leader, Colonel Ardan Sortek, behind enemy lines. The mercenaries won the game, and Sortek ordered Colonel Zaks and Marshal Davion back to the coalition headquarters for a long debriefing.[3]
Behind the Scenes[edit]
In MechWarrior 5: Legend of the Kestrel Lancers, Steven Zaks was voiced by Justin Bott.[4]
