Powers was incinerated and his ashes dispersed over the battlefield where he died, as he wished. Raul takes Kyle's place as commander of the Republic's forces in Achernar, avenging Powers, killing Torrent and defeating the wolves, forcing them out of Achernar. After the battle, the knight Jabella Lakewood chooses Raul as Powers successor. ==BattleMech== Kyle Powers piloted a ''[[Jupiter (BattleMech)|Jupiter]]'' [[BattleMech]] he named, "Jove".
