History[edit]
Hector Shirotan joined the Waco Rangers sometime prior to 3058. He participated in the Battle of Coventry (3058), in the lance led by Lieutenant Manny Totske, in Leonard McCarthy's company, along with Ariadne Sherbow and Parker LaBelle.[1]
On 21 April, when the Rangers and Crazy Eights led a flank attack against Clan Jade Falcon warriors via the Dales Highlands, McCarthy's company formed the regiment's right flank. McCarthy's arrogance and dismissal of the Lyran scout leader Caradoc Trevena led them fall into a Falcon ambush, and the clan forces fell over them.[2]
Sherbow fell first, and later, LaBelle. Shirotan didn't survive much longer: while McCarthy wasn't doing more than ordering the Rangers to hold, the Falcon Warhawk that killed LaBelle put him in his sights. Hector shot missiles at him in vain; the Falcon's counterfire blew out his 'Mech, killing him instantly.[3] In the end, only Manny Totske survived of his lance. He managed to escape, though traumatized. The loss of his men and the refusal of McCarthy to admit his mistakes moved him to abandon the Rangers.[4]
Hector Shirotan was described as a short and chunky man, with dark curly hair. In 3090, a picture remembering him and his lancemates was hung into the Memory Wall of the Cracked Canopy MechWarrior's bar on Solaris VII.[5]
BattleMech[edit]
Hector Shirotan's only known 'Mech was a Dervish.[1]
