New to the life of a Mechwarrior and commander, Ace Leghorn used to be a member of the
Explorer Corps. Ace's previous position in the Corps ranked him relatively low, actually working
as a logistics officer in a number of different Dropships. Tiring of his old job, Ace decided to take
on a more adventurous lifestyle. Ace was bored of landing on unknown planets only to find little
in the way of intelligent life. Looking for a place in the military, he investigated his possible
options and decided piloting BattleMechs would provide him with a very different lifestyle. He
had always taken an interest in the Explorer Corps' giant machines, even though most of their
Mechs were lightly armed and usually equipped with sensory equipment rather than powerful
weapons. In his new job, he would actually be able to control the immensely powerful machines.
After examining the military of his birthplace, the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces, Ace was
turned away from signing on with his nation. The Armed Forces boasted a much lower pay than
he had anticipated. Ace decided he would create his own fighting force, a small team of
mercenaries that might specialize in high risk missions. This role would fulfill his dreams of
maximum profit and adventure. Ace started creating his team with the little money he had
saved from previous years. Working for nearly 4 years as a lone freelance mercenary, Ace had
earned enough money by 3022 to purchase his own BattleMech, a Whitworth. Teaming with
other new freelancers Vender Stepps and Piter Vichkle, the three poured their money into hiring
an elite pilot that would create their lance. Stumbling upon Dr. Suzy Evans, a local physician
with a military past, they completed their task. Signing up on several small, high risk contracts,
the 4 found themselves in situations of extreme danger. Barely escaping with their lives on their
5th mission, the lance decided to bolster their combined forces with an additional lance.
Traveling to 3 different worlds they recruited Shane Belmont(ex-CCAF soldier), Master Harold
Higgins(a young failed CCAF recruit), Jasmine Geutie(street guide on Quemoy), and Megan
T(skirmisher pilot). Ace has retained his commanding position largely because he formed the
team. His lancemates have shown him the faith and respect he deserves, even rescuing him after
capture by Capellan forces. His logistical skills are well formed thanks to his previous job, and his
tactics abilities are slowly building. Ace also performs well in his gunnery and piloting talents,
which he steadily improves with his growing experience. He relies on Jasmine for some tactical
advice, and looks to Vender for political aide. With a firm standing among the other small
mercenary units, Ace Leghorn and the Acer's Hueys continue to be a respectable group of hired
soldiers.
