MechWarior Wendall Puritan II began his career in House Steiner's Lyran Guards brigade, piloting a family-owned Scorpion. In the early 3020's the Lyran Commonwealth began to scrap Scorpions 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.
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.
