Commander Magyari’s Irregulars 3012-3049
Much of Sel Magyri’s early career is shrouded in mystery, thanks in no part to her own tendency to exaggerate the truth. She somehow managed to become a trained MechWarrior while never attending any formal military schooling, and also having a minor career as a swimsuit model on her homeworld of Lesnovo. At some point she managed to acquire a Thunderbolt from a group of pirates, but her own story of how it happened is doubtless exaggerated.

| Sel Magyari, circa 3020 |
In 3020 she married Conrad Vaughn, the unit’s chief AsTech, with Jelek, their only child being born the next year. Sel ensured that he would have a decent education and formal military training, giving him the chance to begin his career with many of the skills that she only picked up along the way. Despite this gap, Sel matured into a capable and skilled commander, able to shape her unit into an efficient force that specialised in raiding and other small-unit offensive actions.
Sel stepped down from command in 3049, citing a desire to dote on her granddaughter. However, the events of the Jihad and the death of her son saw her remain active in its running until 3081 when she finally retired.

3021-3067
Commander Magyari’s Irregulars 3049-3067
Sel Magyari’s only child, Jelek was somewhat spoiled by his mother during his youth. Despite that, he carried a strong determination to be the best warrior and commander he could, and to succeed on his own merits rather than with her support. Enrolled in a formal MechWarrior Academy by her, his determination saw him excel and graduate near the top of his class. On the battlefield he showed a similar level of determination, which in turn was reflected in the men he commanded.
When he took command of the unit in 3049, Jelek oversaw something of a change in its culture. Under is command, the Irregulars became somewhat more disciplined and driven, a considerable change from his mother’s more loose and casual style. This change did cause some friction, but also helped make the unit look good while the early years of the Clan Invasion bought out some of the worst in the mercenary trade.
Unfortunately, it was this determination that lead to his biggest personal loss. In 3045, Jelek had married his childhood sweetheart, Eveline Cross. Unfortunately, she was killed during a 3053 raid against the Smoke Jaguars. Her death shattered Jelek, causing his determination to waver and leaving him with a lifelong phobia of the clans. From there, he refused to take contracts against them which ultimately cost the unit in the long term.
Jelek was killed by a terrorist bomb in 3067, leaving a confused and uncertain unit in his wake.

Commander Magyari’s Irregulars, 3067-3115
The only child of Jelek Magyari and Eveline Cross, Annika developed a strong bond with her Grandmother after her mother’s death. While Jelek ensured that she would have the same strong education and upbringing as he did, he also became ever increasingly distant from her as she matured. The result was that Annika suffered form a lot of self-doubt and insecurity, worried about her father and his coldness towards her.
Her sudden inheriting of the command in 3067 threw her into the spotlight, forcing her to mature fast in the face of a suddenly upended universe. At first Annika was mentored and guided by Sel, who helped her overcome much of her insect as much as she provided her with aid in running the unit. As the Jihad continued, Annika matured into a strong, decisive commander whose quick thinking helped save the unit on more than one occasion.
After the Jihad, Annika chose to keep the Irregulars active, having absorbed several other commands along the way. In 3081 she married Jospeh Kardos, one of her lieutenants; the couple had three children, Bianka, Lorand and Bors. However, Annika did not want them to follow in her footsteps for the sake of tradition, instead ensuring that each of them had the freedom to do what they wanted.
Annika retired in 3115, leaving command of the unit to Bors. Seeking to do something different with her life, she emigrated to the Republic, and wrote a series of novels under a pen name.

Commander Magyari’s Irregulars 3115-3135
The youngest child of Annika Magyari, Bors was glad when both of his older siblings chose not to inherit command of the unit. Despite growing up in the waning years of the Mercenary trade, Bors was drawn to the idea and supposed romance of commanding his own mercenary unit. Inheriting command after his mother’s retirement in3115, he established himself as a flamboyant and dashing figure, one that was more at home socialising with employers then on the battlefield.
While these skills served him well during the lean years of the Republic era, the collapse of the HPG network and the Dark Age that followed tested his skills. Bors turned out to be only a mediocre battlefield commander, with his successes often coming more form the skills of his subordinates and luck then anything else. None the less, he managed to spin his reputation enough to make him and his unit look good, even in there were grumblings within his command as to his actual skill.
Despite his long string of affairs, Bors only had a single child, Irisz, born from his short-lived marriage to Jumpship Captain Carla Williams. While the two separated after only a few years, Bors did his best to maintain a warm relationship with his ex-wife for the sake of his daughter. Much like previous commanders, he did all that he could to train his daughter to one day take his place. This paid off, to the point that by the 3130s, many saw her as a better commander then he was.
In early 3135, Bors announced that he was talking a break from command of the unit to deal with ‘personal business’, leaving Irisz as an interim replacement. Bors stranded behind the walls of Fortress Republic, with his current fate unknown.
