'''Hadji Doru''' was a military officer and [[Taurian Concordat]] native who became [[Senior General of the Magistracy Armed Forces|Senior General]] of the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] during the mid-thirty-first century.

==History==
Born in the Taurian Concordat, Doru spent the first four decades of his military career in the [[Taurian Defense Force]]. In [[3025]] he was a [[Subaltern]] commanding the [[Taurian Guard|Taurian Guard's]] Second Battalion.<ref name=M&Mp173/> <ref>''The Periphery'', p. 81, "BattleMech Regiment Deployment Table"</ref>

====Clan Invasion Era====
By [[3050]] Doru had been promoted to [[Marshal_(rank)#Taurian_Defense_Force|Marshal]] and commanded the Taurian Guard. He had also emerged as the most outspoken opponent of [[Protector of the Realm|Protector]] [[Thomas Calderon]], whose paranoia about an "inevitable" invasion by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] was badly hurting the Concordat's economy and military preparedness against pirates.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 75, "Taurian Concordat"</ref> Throughout the early 3050s Doru and Thomas' son [[Jeffrey Calderon|Jeffrey]] continued to build support against the Protector's inefficient and harsh rule. Matters came to a head in early [[3055]] when Thomas Calderon responded to government members' criticism by ordering Doru to have them arrested; instead Doru had his Taurian Guard place the Protector in custody and then helped persuade Jeffrey Calderon to claim the Protectorship from his father.<ref name=TP13-14>''The Periphery, 2nd Edition'', p. 13-14</ref> <ref name=M&Mp173/>

====Civil War Era====
Refusing an offered post as Minister of Defense, Doru instead resigned his commission rather than risk attracting political opponents of the new government. He departed the Concordat and wandered the [[Inner Sphere]] for a few years before becoming involved in [[Operation BULLDOG]]. There he met [[Danai Centrella]], who, before her death in combat during the [[Great Refusal]], managed to persuade both Doru and her mother, [[Magestrix of the Magistracy of Canopus|Magestrix]] [[Emma Centrella]], that he was the leader the MAF needed. In the years prior to the [[Jihad]] Doru set about bolstering the Magistracy's armed forces with a combination of technological upgrades (via the [[Trinity Alliance]]) and ensuring that competent leaders attained more influence.<ref name=TP13-14/> <ref name=M&Mp173/>

====Jihad====
Doru's reforms could not prevent the [[Word of Blake]] from occupying [[Canopus]] and capturing him during the Jihad. Freed by [[Ramilie's Raiders]] in August [[3071]], he set about leading his nation's counterstrike against the Blakists. Despite his advanced age Doru was still serving as the MAF's leader in [[3085]], though he was intent on retirement as soon as his successor was named.<ref name=M&Mp173/> <ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 17, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 137</ref>
