Bruce Wolf
Age: 33 (Born
3112)
Homeworld:
Basalt
Position/Rank:
Mechwarrior,
Recon Lance
Born in the Republic, Bruce had a fascination with all things Clan
from an early age. Fascinated by the appeal of their warrior ways and
developing an almost romanticised image of Clan lifestyle, Bruce studied clan
Lore and history while also doing his Responsible Service of Alcohol course. After
the Blackout, he acted on his dreams, venturing to Tigress to join the Steel
Wolves. Bruce performed well enough to become a Mechwarrior with the Wolf Lancers
cluster.
At first, things went well for him. In an early battle, his Scarabus defeated the leader of a Ghost
Bear enclave, decapitating their Ursus with
its hatchet. (And thus earning it the nickname ‘Drop Bear’). However, when
Anastasia Kerensky chose to dissolve the Steel Wolves and reform them as the
Wolf Hunters, he was one of those who chose to leave. For Bruce, it was less
about becoming a mercenary and more of the fact that Kerensky had made the
decision without telling anyone.

Cecelia Stanley
Age: 31 (Born
3114)
Homeworld:
Galatea
Position/Rank:
Chief
Technician
Having spent all her life in one mercenary unit or another,
Cecelia Stanley (“Stanley” to everyone) is no stranger to the world. Trained by
her parents and with plenty of practical experience, since joining the
Irregulars she has worked her way to becoming their chief technician. Skilled
at her job, she is very much the ‘hands on’ type who enjoys a challenge and
doesn’t shy away from doing hard work herself.
While technically a non-combatant, Stanley is not afraid to do
what’s needed if called for it. She has been known to take her Savoir Repair
Vehicle perilously close to the battlefield to support the unit’s ‘Mechs. She
pulls long hours in the repair bays afterwards, and often assigns herself the
toughest or most high-priority jobs.
The result is that Stanley has a lot of respect from other members
of the unit, and is often seen as being ‘one of the boys’ despite not being an
actual soldier. Hard drinking, she enjoys arm wrestling and showing off, and
has developed something of a friendly rivalry with Will Owen over proving who
is the tougher of the two.
Hadrian
Cartwright
Age: 30 (Born
3115)
Homeworld:
Alphard
Position/Rank:
Doctor
Born to ca comfortable, middle-class Marian family, Hadrian
Cartwright showed a keen intellect from an early age and an interest in
medicine and especially the chemistry behind it. His parents encouraged his
talent, sending him to university to study, as well as arranging an internship
at one of the Hegemony’s best hospitals. When he graduated, it was expected
that he would have a fantastic career ahead of him.
Instead, he dropped out of sight for reasons unknown, only to
resurface on Galatea seeking work as a mercenary medic. His skills and resume
saw him hired by the Irregulars, where he became a part of their support team. His
duties have included everything from regular check-ups to operating in a MASH
unit close to the frontlines.
Hadrian does enjoy the good life; while whatever it was that saw
him leave the Hegemony may have cut him off from his family, he still appears
to be rather well off, almost to the degree of splashing out and showing off
his wealth.
Charlie Bull
Age: 45 (Born
3100)
Homeworld: Galatea
Position/Rank: Lieutenant,
Command Lance
BattleMech: SCG-WF1 Scourge
Charlie Bull is the oldest presently
active member of the Irregulars. Born from one of the diminishing numbers of mercenary
families, Charlie gladly continued in the same trade as his predecessors, even
as the universe was making them seem more and mire irrelevant. He joined the Irregulars
in his early 20s, and had remained with it ever since, By the time of the
Blackout, he was one of the unit’s officers and, more importantly, had become a
close friend of Bors Magyari.
That friendship and loyalty would prove
to be invaluable, not just on the battlefield but in other arenas as well.
After Bors' disappearance, Irisz Magyari inherited command of the unit by
default, but was not unchallenged. There were those in the command who cited
her relative youth and lack of experience as weaknesses, and others who felt
that they were better suited for the position. Charlie, however, was one of
Irisz' key supporters, and managed to bring the bulk of the unit behind her.

Dmitri Matthias
Age: 28 (Born
3117)
Homeworld:
Aitutaki
Position/Rank:
MechWarrior,
Command Lance
An unusual man for a MechWarrior, Dimitri does not, at first
glance, appear to be the part. Slender, with scruffy hair and often unshaven,
he looks more like he would be lecturing a class then piloting a BattleMech.
The image is further enhanced by his obvious love of Mathematics; Dimitri will
gladly talk for hours on any maths-related subject if given even the slightest
provocation, often with a clear passion for his subject.
The fact is that Dimitri is actually a very good MechWarrior, and
his particular interest is of great help to him in his chosen field. He is very
adept at quickly calculating and recalculating trajectories for his Archer’s Long-range missiles, and has a
reputation for putting down very precise and well-timed indirect fire support.
The son of a prominent political family, Dimitri’s family were
forced to leave their homeworld following its last invasion by the Principality
of Regulus. While some of its members have since returned with the formation of
the new Free Worlds League, Dimitri has chosen to remain a mercenary. He has
often joked that the battlefield is a great way to test theorems and formulae.

Carrie
Bull
Age: 28 (born
3117)
Homeworld: Galatea
Rank/Position: MechWarrior,
Command Lance
The niece of former Irregualrs member Charlie Bull (And one
of his few living relatives), Carrie chose to follow her own path in life. While
she trained as a MechWarrior, rather than becoming a mercenary like others in
her family had she instead chose to seek fame and fortune on the game world of
Solaris VII. A combination of talent and charisma served her well, Carrie
managing to attract interest and secure a place.
Her career rose quickly, with Carrie showing a
considerable amount of talent and a flair for showmanship. By 3142, she was a
rising star, one who was being touted as potential championship material. The
Wolf Empire’s invasion of Solaris did slow her career, but didn’t stop it by
any means. Carrie continued to participate in the now somewhat reduced games,
but began to become ever increasingly vocal and public in her dislike of Clan
Wolf.
However, in late 3144 she abruptly quit her team and the
game world altogether, dropping out of sight with no explanation whatsoever. It
was several months before she resurfaced as a member of the Irregulars, having inherited
her uncle’s BattleMech and being offered his position in the unit. While she
has begun to adjust to the very different lifestyle and way of fighting, there
are still questions as to why she dropped out in the first place.

Constantin Braudel
Age: 35 (Born
3110)
Homeworld: Spitz
Position/Rank: MechWarrior,
Command Lance
Constantin was born and raised on the former Taurian
world of Spitz, a planet that alternated between being a battleground in the
long-running Concordat civil war and a target for pirate attacks. With little reason
to stay (and plenty of desire to leave), he managed to smuggle himself
off-world and spent the next few years roaming the near Periphery, learning a
wide variety of skills along the way. Eventually, he managed to find his way
into a mercenary unit, working his way up to eventually becoming a MechWarrior.
While an experienced veteran, Constantin tends not to
stay in the same place for terribly long, and as such has more wandered from
unit to unit on a series of short term contracts. Instead he sees himself more
as a traveller, using his mercenary employment as a way to explore the Inner
Sphere and see all that it has to offer.
Outwardly a little distant, once he has a chance to get
settled and open up, Constantin becomes rather social and engaging. He very
much enjoys a chance to talk about his travels and things that he has seen
along the way, and relishes the chance to see new worlds. To him, any contract
is not so much a tour of duty as it is a working holiday and an opportunity for
new experiences.
