When Jonathan Colby was killed on Golandrinas in 2990 Carlyle assumed command of the Commandos which were redubbed Carlyle's Commandos.[4] When the unit was betrayed at Trellwan in 3024 he was killed by a Marauder piloted by the mercenary Lieutenant Grieg Vallendel.[1]

Carlyle does not like leaving things to chance, believing in shaping the battlefield before combat is joined. He prefers mobility over static defenses and considers a standing fight, even on the defense, as a losing proposition. Above all else however he seeks to protect those under his command.[2]
BattleMechs
In 2990 Carlyle piloted a Shadowhawk[3]. By 3019 as commander of Carlyle's Commandos he operated a Phoenix Hawk[1].
