Ramiel Bekker (died 3151) was a ristar in Clan Ghost Bear before being taken as Bondsman by Alaric Ward in 3146. He was commonly known as the "WarBear."

Biography

Ramiel was decanted from a strain of the Bekker genetic heritage and was bloodkin to Angela Bekker. The majority of washouts from his sibko would end up placed in the Scientist Caste, a testament to the rare warrior-scientist qualities this genetic combination created.[1][2]

Among Clan Ghost Bear he quickly rose to ristar status, becoming the second-youngest to ever to complete the Clawing Ritual, the scars from which remained on his chest[3][4]. He had extensive involvement in the creation of the Kontio among other Ghost Bear Mechs and the Callisto Battlearmor[5][2][6]. Sometime later he distinguished himself well against Clan Hell’s Horses on Kobe[3].

A staunch Warden, the passivity the Ghost Bear’s exhibited upon forming the Rasalhague Dominion never sat well with him[5]. He had risen to Star Colonel by the time he first met Alaric on Terra in May 3135[1]. By February 3146 he had newly tested for Galaxy Commander when Khan Alaric Ward challenged him for a Trial of Possession and won[3].

Clan Wolf

While a Bondsman Bekker designed the Stormwolf and he was insistent on providing Laser Anti-Missile System, Jump Jets, MASC, and a Supercharger as fixed equipment to force MechWarriors to develop tactics based on that fixed equipment[2]. He designed the Amarok which he considered his crowning achievement and borrowed heavily from the Hammerhead[2][7]. He also worked on the Crucible[8]. Star Commander Ray Black, abtakha of Clan Steel Viper was a military analyst on Bekker's staff[9].

On 1 January 3151 Alaric cut Ramiel’s bondcord—making him a Wolf Warrior—and put him in command of the Tactical Response Cluster as a Galaxy Commander once more[10][11].

Death and afterward

Bekker was killed during the headhunter counterattack 7 March 3151 at 10:05[12].

BattleMech

In the 3151 invasion of Terra Bekker piloted a Stormwolf B with a red-painted cockpit[10].
