Amir Kowalski was brought up as a loyal scion of House Liao, and sent to a military academy as soon as he was of age. There, he did not disappoint his family name and graduated on time. After graduation, by family request, he was assigned as a naval lieutenant aboard a Capellan Confederation DropShip. He served without particular distinction and was eventually transferred to a MechWarrior unit, which suited his abilities much better. After another tour of duty, in which he developed the motto: "any battle you walk away from is a victory," he decided he wanted to pursue his own goals, and became a mercenary.
Trivia
Amir "Dekker" Kowalski is part of the player's starting lance in the BattleTech video game. His default 'mech is a SDR-5V Spider.
Due to the Spider being a rather fragile BattleMech, Dekker has a high chance of becoming a casualty early in the game if his player acts carelessly. The large amount of dead Dekkers has since led to a sort of meme on the game's subreddit, with players exchanging stories of the awkward ways they lost "their" Dekker, or boasting about Dekker still being alive in their campaign.
