Character Brief
Blaine Lee Pardoe is an author who has contributed to many BattleTech sourcebooks. In addition, he has penned several BattleTech novels in the original BattleTech series, the MechWarrior companions, and the newer MechWarrior: Dark Age series. He has also contributed several short stories to BattleCorps. In 2005, he released his nonfiction work The Cruise of the Sea Eagle, the story of a German pirate in World War I.
Pardoe was born in Newport News, Virginia, was raised in Battle Creek, Michigan, and currently lives in Amissville, Virginia. He graduated with a bachelor's in business administration from Central Michigan University in 1985, after which he worked for various automobile corporations in Michigan. During this time he contributed to sourcebooks, most notably those set in Star Trek and BattleTech, for FASA and others. After he moved back to Virginia to work for Ernst & Young LLP is when he began writing novels and, later, nonfiction works.[1]
Pardoe married Cyndi while he lived in Michigan, and the couple had two children, Victoria and Alexander.[1]
In a July 8, 2021 blog post[2] Pardoe complained that Faith McClosky was a false identity under which a certain person stalked, threatened and bad-mouthed him in an attempt to have him "canceled".
On July 30, 2022 Catalyst Game Labs released a statement saying that they had suspended publishing new works by Pardoe due primarily to his "online activities which do not align with Catalyst’s publishing vision."[3][4]
