Robert Grey was a MechWarrior in McKinnon's Company of the Seventh Crucis Lancers.[2][1][3][4]

History

Robert Grey was born on Kestrel in 3004.[1] Little is known of his life before joining the famous McKinnon's Company, but his first recorded combat action took place at the age of fifteen; the 3019 Battle of Markerson, Captain Mercer Ravannion's infamous "Charge of the Horde."[5][6]

Grey is often described as solitary and moody, but with a hunter's nature that comes alive in combat. He enjoys the long hours hunting down other light mechs, and the fast paced maneuvering to bring down larger ones. The rapid social and political changes in his lifetime have made him feel out of place and alone, a relic of the 30th Century, The betrayal he felt at the Lyran succession left him deeply suspicious of all things Lyran, even refusing to pilot an offered Dart. In the early 3070s Ross McKinnon became concerned with his violent mood swings and sought ways to convince Grey to seek psychiatric help.[2][1][3][4]

BattleMech

Grey has piloted many BattleMechs over the years. From 3019 until 3027 he piloted a delapitated STG-3R Stinger with erratic circuitry on the Medium Laser. Following the Battle of Tikonov he obtained a fresh off the production line HNT-151 Hornet (Serial Number HNT1510420). Following the 3049 loss of his Hornet he returned to his Stinger. In 3053 he was assigned a new ALM-7D Fireball which he upgraded to the ALM-8D as soon as he could. He remained in the -8D until at least 3071[3][4]
