Puritan began his career in [[House Steiner]]'s [[Lyran Guards]] brigade, piloting a family-owned ''Scorpion''. In the early 3020s the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] began to scrap ''Scorpion''s and phase them out of their regular military because of the scarcity of replacement parts; Puritan's 'Mech was going to be scrapped for parts, too, and he was offered a replacement 'Mech in its stead. However, he turned down the offer, kept the ''Scorpion'' and left the [[LCAF]] to become a [[mercenary]] instead.<ref name=TRO3025-68/> <ref name=TRO3039-288/>

As of [[3025]], Wendall Puritan was a member of the [[Smithson's Chinese Bandits]] mercenary unit in [[Free Worlds League]] space. His ''Scorpion'' was noted to be in pristine condition at the time.<ref name=TRO3025-68/> Following the [[Fourth Succession War]] however Puritan increasingly struggled with the upkeep of his 'Mech, most notably being unable to secure a replacement for his damaged [[Anderson Armaments Particle Cannon PPC 12|Anderson Armaments]] [[PPC]]. Replacing it with a [[Large Laser]] like many other 'Mechs in the chronically PPC starved Free Worlds League, though missing the extra bite of a PPC compared to the new laser, Puritan enjoyed the fact the remaining weight from the swap went toward extra armor for his ''Scorpion''. <ref name=TRO3039-288>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 288 "SCP-1N Scorpion"</ref>
