'''Tomaso Kinchuhara''' was an officer with the [[First Regulan Hussars]].
+
'''Tomaso Kinchuhara''' was the commanding officer of the [[First Regulan Hussars]] between [[3020]] and [[3025]].
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
Kinchuhara graduated from the [[Princefield Military Academy]] at the top of his class, setting an Academy record for the most duels fought and leaving with a perfect win record. Assigned to the [[First Regulan Hussars]] he climbed steadily through the ranks, gaining command of the Eastern Star Strike Battalion in [[3018]].  In [[3020]] during the [[Battle of Amity (3020)|Battle of Kendrew's Crossing]] he was the senior officer alive following a horrific two-day battle with the [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]]. His battalion held a vital egress route as the Hussars retreated off world, allowing their escape.  For his bravery he was given command of the First, and inducted into the [[Order of the Saber]].<ref name=RTp12/>

===Early Career===
 +
Tomaso would attend and graduate from the [[Princefield Military Academy]] at the top of his class.<ref name=RTp12>''Rolling Thunder (scenario pack)'' p. 12, "Tomaso Kinchuhara profile"</ref>
  
While on duty Kinchuhara was a stickler for detail, insisting on doing things by the book. This insistence on uniform and military courtesies made him the butt of several jokes, but his attention to detail also saved his commands on several occasions. Off duty however he is an accomplished storyteller with uncommon charisma and personal charm with penchant for athletic competitions.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 100: "ON1-K Orion"</ref><ref name=RTp12/>
+
At some point after that he was appointed commander of the full [[Regulan Hussars]] brigade. He was a CO with an own opinion. As a former regimental commander and close friend to the Marik ruler at that time, he had the political backup to remain in command against all attempts of the [[LCCC]].
 
 
Kinchuhara retained command of the First through the [[Fourth Succession War]] and the [[Andurien Secession]], where they took part on the [[Battle of Andurien (3039)|invasion]] of [[Andurien]]. During that conflict [[Lieutenant]] [[Alex Upland]] served as his aide and accrued three ’Mech kills, a testament to Kinchuhara's lead from the front mentality.<ref>''Technical Readout:  3039'', p. 250: "HER-1A Hermes"</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: Succession Wars'', p. 22: "HER-1A Hermes"</ref> Following the occupation of Andurien he was promoted to [[General]] and given command of the [[Regulan Hussars]] [[brigade]], selecting [[Gerald Cameron-Jones]] to replace him in command of the First.<ref>Field Manual: Free Worlds League, p. 106: "1st Regulan Hussars: The Steel Hussars" - The year of Kinchuhara /Cameron-Jones promotions is unknown but Cameron-Jones retired from commanding the First in 3044.  Promotion following a decade long campaign seems most likely.</ref>
 
  
 
In August, [[3073]] a Regulan task force assaulted [[Gibson]] in retaliation for the attacks on [[Regulus]]. The 49th Division fought General [[Tomaso Kinchuhara]]'s [[4th Regulan Hussars|Fourth Regulan Hussars]] & his mercenary task force in the Gibson Federated BattleMech factory complex. The Division conducted a combat drop on top of the smaller mercenary commands that made up a third of the Task Force. They, along with the [[52nd Shadow Division]], mauled the Regulus task force, taking life of General Kinchuhara.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 51 - "Bloodless Coup - Details of the Regulan invasion revealed".</ref> Precentor [[Apollyon]] ordered the Regulans to surrender.  Some of the smaller mercenary units did, forcing the remaining Regulan forces to flee Gibson.
