Overview
Star Captain Gell was commander of the Falcon Guards' Delta Trinary, a mixed formation of OmniMechs and Elementals.[2]
History
The Twycross Campaign
Once his unit had overcome the infantry militia forces in and around the city of Camora, Gell's Elementals were able to move in and disarm the numerous vibrabombs that had been planted to damage the advancing Jade Falcon BattleMechs.[3]
The Federated Commonwealth Counterattack
The Falcon Guards were still on Twycross in September 3050 when the Federated Commonwealth launched a counterassault. Gell and his warriors were with the rest of the Guards as they entered the Great Gash. He was thought to have died along with his Trinary when the Great Gash collapsed by means of explosive charges.[4]
BattleMechs
Gell piloted a Vulture throughout the Battle for Twycross.[5]
Notes
- The ComStar report on the Twycross Campaign credits Gell as developing the "new and innovative" tactic of mounting Elementals on the hulls of OmniMechs.[6]
- Gell, a Jade Falcon, is a separate character from Gell (Clan Wolf), a member of Clan Wolf.
