And their commander was [[Warner Doles (Blackwind Lancers)|Warner Doles]], who had gotten himself canonized when he basically won an online fan auction. And so I said, "Oh no, Warner killed me!" And then Warner wrote this big long posting saying, "Yep, yep, we defeated you. Dragged you back to [[New Avalon]] in chains, and put you in a prison, And then the prison was crashed into by some 'Mechs during the fighting in 3067, during the Civil War, and the burning prison collapsed and killed him."
