Donald "Devil" Vincent was a mercenary, freelance MechWarrior, roving adventurer and possibly bandit during the early thirty-first century.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
Vincent was part of the small mercenary unit the Crimson Ace Dragoons when it was destroyed on Tiber, but managed to escape with his 'Mech intact. After that, and prior to the Fourth Succession War, he worked for any petty lord or landholder who could pay his bills. He changed very often who he served, as he had a bad attitude and a moody and violent temper. He was famous for walking his 'Mech though the palace of a former employer after a wage dispute.[1]
Sometime after that, he got his nickname "Devil." During the Fourth Succession War he got a contract to help defend a small factory on Jonathan. When the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns arrived, he advanced towards the armor company sent to capture the facility. However, he did not fire. Sticking to the letter of his contract and not the spirit, he did not engage the armor company sent to capture the site because the company ignored him and immediately fired a barrage into the factory, and with it on fire, Vincent continued to just stand by. When questioned later, he simply said: "I was contracted to defend the factory. With the factory burning, what point was there in getting in a fight?"[2]
BattleMechs[edit]
Donald Vincent was known to pilot a JM6-S JagerMech.[1][2][3]
Notes[edit]
- An apocryphal version of Vincent's 'Mech, dubbed the Firebrand, appears in the MechWarrior Online and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries video games as a Hero 'Mech.
