Biography

Project Phoenix

On August 1, 3067, Stryker sent a confidental message to his long-time associate, Precentor ROM Victoria Parrdeau.[2]

In this message, Stryker states the following facts and his personal opinions:

  • Stryker despised the Word of Blake and had a few conspiracy theories about the Blakists:
1. The Circinus Federation obtained technology and blueprints for several Star League-era 'Mechs that were allegedly redesigned by the Word of Blake, which helped the Federation prevent the takeover of their nation by the Marian Hegemony.
2. The technology given to the Federation was not only Star League-era, but also included innovations exclusive to the Capellan Confederation, which has known ties to the Word of Blake.
3. Giovanni Estrella de la Sangre, planetary governor of Demeter and CEO of Vicore Industries, was strongly suspected of being a Blakist collaborator. The refitted Blakist 'Mechs are identical to those designed by Vicore, as part of De La Sangre's "Project Phoenix" initative, which he sold to several Inner Sphere manufacturers such as Defiance Industries, Earthwerks Incorporated and General Motors.

As part of Project Phoenix, Stryker also penned a report for Precentor ROM Parrdeau outlining known non-State supported intelligence and terrorist organizations such as the Nekakami, the Omniss, Free Capella, the Free Skye Movement, Black Dragons, Heimdall, the Zhanzheng de guang and Thuggees which the Word was apparently attempting to court to aid their efforts in the Chaos March. The report also detailed the what little info Stryker had uncovered by that point about the Manei Domini, though he openly admitted much of it was circumstantial. [3]

Jihad

Despite issues surrounding the authenticity of the information he frequently secured, Damocles and his black-ops team continued to forward Blakist intel to Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion and the secular ROM as the Jihad errupted. Danocles would also provide information to Chandrasekhar Kurita in the lead-up to his coalition's strike against Odessa and the Ruins of Gabriel. By the later half of the Jihad, Damocles had established himself as part of Devlin Stone's secretive covert operations command. [4]

Death

On the 31st of October 3081 Republic of the Sphere-affiliated forces attempted to ambush surviving elements of the 49th Shadow Division and the notorious Opacus Venatori Precentor, Berith, at the location known as the Gates of Hades on Devil's Rock. The Republican forces were acting on information provided by Damocles, who accompanied them into battle; the ambush was actually the result of intelligence planted by Berith, who was determined to kill Srtyker. In this, Berith succeeded; having goaded Damocles into a berserk, suicidal rage, three Opacus Venatori BattleMechs combined their fire on the charging Com Guard agent when he charged, killing him. The Blakist forces then retreated in good order, leaving the remaining Republican forces alive.[1]
