His goal was to lure [[Knight-Errant of the Republic|Knight-Errant]] [[Kyle Powers]] away from the planet of [[Ronel]] where another invasion force was headed to secure the working [[HPG]] network.  His secondary objective, was to take the planet for the Steel Wolves if at all possible.<ref>''A Call to Arms'', p. 37</ref>

While fighting upon the planet, Torrent realized that the [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] militia and the [[Swordsworn]] were working together in a quasi-alliance which jeopardized the invasion.  In order to break up this alliance and better his chances of victory, Torrent challenged the Knight to a [[Trial of Grievance]] after the Swordsworn ambushed one of his salvaging units.  Torrent hoped that destroying the Knight would cause the new alliance to fail.<ref>''A Call to Arms'', pp. 152–153</ref>

In the final battle for [[Achernar]], Torrent's 'Mech engaged Ortega's 'Mech in hand to hand combat.  Ortega was able to breach the shielding on the [[fusion reactor]], causing it to go critical.  The ensuing explosion disintegrated Torrent's ''[[Tundra Wolf]]'' leaving nothing where he once was.<ref name=ACA286/>

It's obvious from context in ''A Call to Arms'' that Torrent refused to Trial for two Bloodrights, not two Bloodnames.
