On 15 August [[3062]], open warfare broke out within [[Solaris City]] when the city's respective faction-divided stables began fighting one another. Taking his chance Garrett killed Champion [[Theodore Gross]] with an autocannon shot from his ''Mad Dog'' on the waiting zone of [[Ishiyama]] and took control of Gross' pristine ''[[Warhawk (Masakari)|Warhawk]]''.<ref>''Illusions of Victory'', p. 115 </ref> He then went on a run through [[Kobe]] Waterfront issuing a challenge to single combat, and defeating five 'Mechs in a row. As the fighting continued he led a few ex-Jaguars who took control of Founders Bridge defending it against Combine MechWarriors in a line of death strategy.<ref>''Illusions of Victory'', p. 147 </ref> This earned him the name "The Ghost Jaguar"—the avenging spirit of his Clan.<ref>''Illusions of Victory'', p. 198 </ref>
