Russell Murphy was a MechWarrior from the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry.[1]

History

Russell Murphy was born in Old Kentucky. He was raised as a gang fighter and took part in numerous street wars until he had to enlist to escape the wrath of rival gangs.

Joining as an infantryman, his years of urban warfare made him an excellent close quarters fighter, and aggressive enough to learn and attempt anti-BattleMech tactics.

He was assigned to the rebuilt Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry where he quickly rose to the position of squad leader. When a civil uprisings supported by mercenary BattleMechs threatened Denbar in 3059, his squad assisted in two BattleMech kills. For his actions he earned a commendation for valor, which he utilized to gain acceptance in the MechWarrior Training Program.

When the Third Reserve Cavalry shed their infantry support to create a Home Guard Regiment for Denbar, Murphy was elevated to a MechWarrior position and given a place within the Third Company's Reconnaissance lance, and his first taste of combat he earned his callsign Bulldog. In that fight he beat with his Raven an Enforcer, after being able to shot against his read armor.

When Arthur Chin created his lance, Youling Zhanshi, he was assigned as weapons master.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag During the those darkest days, Li Hark kept Arthur Chin focused and optimistic. His endless analysis of enemy transmissions and intelligence data helped identify most of the targets the lance attacked during their infamous guerrilla campaign.[2]

His was contacted by Death Commando Jason Zaklan, also present on planet and Chin's lance supported Zaklan in his operations.[3]
