History
Early Life
Davis was born into one of Caledonia's ruling Jacobite families, attending the Highlander BattleMech Academy and joining the Caledonia Home Guard.[3]
Joining the Legion
Davis joined up with the Gray Death Legion in 3025 on Galatea, in a meeting with Grayson Carlyle and eight other mercenaries that went on to form the original Legion. McCall was a big, friendly Caledonian, with an engaging grin, and had a fierce pride in his Terran-Scots ancestry. Often in combat, Davis would scream Gaelic curses over the combat circuit. He was one of the longest serving members of the Legion, second only to Lori Kalmar, and was immensely loyal to Grayson. At one point, McCall served as XO for the Legion, during Lori's pregnancy with her son, Alexander. Twice in his career as a mercenary McCall turned down contract offers from other mercenary units, including an offer of a battalion command. Over the years, experience and age tempered the big Scotsman's impulsiveness, making him one of the Legions strongest field commanders.[citation needed]
Death
In 3065, McCall was killed in the Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus II fighting an invading Rakshasa and a Guillotine, the cockpit of his Highlander was kicked in.[citation needed] His death, after Grayson Carlyle, and before the one of Lori Kalmar left the Legion leaderless, putting an end to the unit's history.
Battlemechs
Davis piloted a Rifleman, affectionately known as "Bannockburn", after the famous battle in medieval in Scotland, until it was destroyed during the Helm campaign. He was then able to acquire a Highlander, giving it the same name, and piloting it until his death.[citation needed]
