Parker LaBelle was a mercenary during the Clan Invasion era.[1]
Personal History
Parker LaBelle joined the Waco Rangers sometime prior to 3058. He participated in the Battle of Coventry (3058), in the lance lead by Lieutenant Manny Totske, in Leonard McCarthy's company, along with Hector Shirotan and Ariadne Sherbow.[1]
On 21 April, when the Rangers and Crazy Eights led a flank attack against the Dalles, Clan Jade Falcon warriors were waiting them. 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]
Ariadne was killed in seconds, but Parker didn't survive much longer: a Falcon Masakari shot him with its four PPCs in an alpha strike, causing his ammunition to explode and killing him instantly.[3]
In the end, only Manny survived of his lance. He managed to escape, though traumatized. The loss of his men and the refusal of McCarthy to recognize his errors moved him to abandon the Rangers.[4]
In 3090, a picture remembering him and his lancemates was hung on the Memory Wall of the Cracked Canopy MechWarrior's bar on Solaris VII.[5]
