Background:

Wendelin Kraus is a rare breed of Mechwarrior, in other words, he is a competent soldier.

Born and raised in the world called Pandora he cut his teeth during the Succession Wars and soon learned the value of fire support. He grew to appreciate the Centurion 'Mech and requested to stick in it even after he was offered heavier, better mechs.

After an unfortunate incident where he...disagreed (violently) with one of his sperior officers he found himself cashiered out of the service and soon ended up as a freelance mercenary.

The fact he was granted a newer Star-League 'mech makes him wonder as to the price he will need to pay for it later...all he knew is he was much more familiar with his old 'mech (and that irritatingly fickle autocannon) but the tech who worked on the mech swore up and down this new X model took care of the jamming issues. Hah! He would believe it when he sees it.

After a little investigating and checking into what few contacts he had left it seemed a certain faction pulled the strings to get him this 'mech...a faction none too please with the existence of the Federated Commonwealth...A lead-in to the start of the FedCom Civil war....
