Character brief

Early Life and Career

Peterson was raised on Liao in the city of Chang-an. By the age of forty, he had a distinguished career. He was a graduate of the Northwind Military Academy; served as Planetary Legate for the planet of Footfall and led a successful effort against smugglers and terrorists in Prefecture V; he had been decorated with Knighthood; brokered a peace in the Liao Conservatory Rebellion; and finally made a Paladin of the Sphere for his service to the Republic.


Amongst the Paladins, a notable figure is the "Black Paladin", Ezekiel Crow, whose real name was Daniel Peterson. As Daniel, he betrayed the world of Liao in 3111 to forces of the Capellan Confederation, resulting in a massacre of the Republic forces and civilian population that would become known as the Betrayal of Liao. After discovering that this had led to his own parents' deaths, he fled the planet and vanished only to be reborn as Ezekiel Crow. As a Paladin of The Republic, he betrayed the very Republic he had sworn to defend a second time, on the planet Northwind. Countess Tara Campbell of Northwind and of the Highlanders, unaware of his intentions, had fallen for him. Shortly after his betrayal on Northwind, he attempted to assassinate Paladin Jonah Levin on Terra, and interfered with Terra's planetary defense against the Steel Wolves. His attempt was foiled when Countess Northwind defeated him and destroyed his 'Mech. Unbeknownst to her, he did not die; in an attempt to redeem himself, he ended up on the Republican world of Liao, fighting against a Capellan Confederation assault and died there, refusing to eject from his exploding Tundra Wolf.
