Leftenant Daniel Waylen was a member of the elite Federated Suns unit the McKinnon's Raiders company during the 31st century.[1][2][3]
History
Early Life
Waylen was born on Sherwood, on the periphery border, which resulted in him suffering from prejudice through his career. He was however accepted into the New Avalon Military Academy, and while he was notable for the number of black marks on his record during his time there, afterwards graduated and was accepted after three years into McKinnon's Company as its first member not from Kestrel.
His misbehaviour at NAMA including brawling, surliness and more disciplinary infractions than any student who had not been expelled in the academy’s preceding 13 years. Ian McKinnon looked past this history when recruiting Waylen, given his own reputation as a maverick, seeing only a MechWarrior with great potential.[1][2][3]
McKinnon's Company
Waylen initially joined McKinnon's Company as a member of its command lance, to fill the slot opened up by Paul Danton promotion to Leftenant in order to lead the Medium Lance.
A keen diarist, in 3039 Waylen wrote in his journal that he was on Klathandu IV when the Third Benjamin Regulars launched a counter-attack.[4] On 19 August 3048, he wrote about an intelligence raid on Thestria, where he fought against the First Proserpina Hussars near Fortress Ningpo.[5]
In 3051, he wrote about his experience fighting the Clans on Waldorff under Ross McKinnon, including an engagement with a Clan Steel Viper unit using the new battle armor then available to McKinnon's Company.[6]
Waylen was eventually promoted to Sargent and then Leftenant, together with command of McKinnon's Company's Medium Lance, after earning a field commission following the FedCom Civil War.[1]
BattleMech
Waylen was known to pilot an ENF-4R Enforcer BattleMech, serial number ENF4R07198, which prior to being assigned to him had served with the Seventh Crucis Lancers since it was manufactured by Achernar BattleMechs on New Avalon in 3019.
Heavily damaged on Harrow's Sun, it was later salvaged and rebuilt, being piloted by a number of MechWarriors until it was assigned to Waylen when he joined McKinnon's Company. The 'Mech was also used to test an experimental Gauss Rifle developed by the New Avalon Institute of Science, with was paired with two medium lasers.[1][2][3]
