History[edit]

Theo Forzine is the youngest MechWarrior of the Wyren Claws Stables having recently recruited by the Claws' stablemaster to replace a Claw killed in the Blakist occupation.

Forzine had been a fighter for the BBL league for only two years when the Blakists attacked. At that time he was a member of the Fire Walkers Stables who sided with the several SHDL cells and fought against the Blakists several times. Most of the cell was killed (and his Stables destroyed), and Forzine himself was wounded. He was recruited by Wyren Claws Stables once his injuries recovered.[1]

He did participate in the 3086 Championship and was one of the Class Five top contenders.

After week twelve, he was ranked fifth. The Class Five Division was still anyone's to take, with the top five separated by five points. Susan Belden, Meg Shaw, Peter Blaine, Thomas Colby, and Theo Forzine would go into the second half of the season with an excellent chance of being declared the Division champion.[2]

During the fourteenth week he was paired against another of the top contender, Meg Shaw, with the second place at stake. Everybody expected a lot of the fight, but it became a game of hide-and-seek with neither side doing much damage to the other. The match was declared a draw after thirty minutes and both contenders were soundly booed as they left.[3]

For week Sixteen, he was paired against Kay Dolachenkov from People's Will Stables. Dolachenkov tried for a long-range fight, but Forzine used his 'Mech's heavier armor and the Deep's rocks to move in close. Weathering Dolachenkov's Longbow LRM barrage, Forzine tried to get inside Dolachenkov's LRM range while Dolachenkov tried to keep out of Forzine's weapon's range. For nineteen minutes, the match was a slow motioned chase, until Forzine's lasers sliced away most of the left leg and the massive autocannon finished the job, giving him the victory.[4]

Tactics[edit]

Theo Forzine is a Regular MechWarrior who prefers close-in attacks.[1]
