History
By 3062, Barajas was the commander of Stalker Lance in the Third Battalion of the Eigth FedCom RCT, where he had developed a reputation for being bloodthirsty and reckless.[2] He was most noteworthy for firing the first shot in the Federated Commonwealth Civil War on Kathil, obliterating a group of Kathil CMM infantry who was attempting to infiltrate the Eighth FedCom's perimeter to arrest their officers. He fought in the Howell River Valley near Daytin and his headlong charge into the Allied flank secured a victory for the Loyalists there.
During the battle for the Kay Bume munitions plant in Stihl, Barajas ignored defending the factory in order to pursue a personal vendetta against the Kathil CMM's Sergeant Major Amanda Black. He was driven off by a militia DropShip before he could kill her, which enraged him. Tasked later with drawing out David McCarthy, a noted MechWarrior on the Allied side, he chose to attack his opponent's loved ones, laying waste to their family home. Despite his best attempts, Barajas was unable to kill the McCarthy family, and they were able to take refuge in a fortified storm cellar.
At the battle for the Kearny-Fuchida Yare Industries microwave power relay on 7 December, 3062, Barajas re-encountered his nemesis. Again ignoring his objective, he pursued Amanda Black into a minefield, firing on the lance members who attempted to engage her and destroying one of their 'Mechs. As he charged headlong at her, a combination of his disregard for his 'Mech's overwhelming heat levels and Black's concentrated fire caused his reactor to overload, killing him instantly.[3]
