An experienced combatant, Von Sturmer has been piloting BattleMechs for 12 years. Though the
Capellan Confederation Armed Forces have seen little combat in such time, Von had been a
regular patrol guard along the Capellan March. Von has made many surgical strikes against areas
in Davion space. His battlefield encounters have gradually enhanced his talents. Von now ranks
as an elite pilot, and was the commander of his Capellan scout lance at the time of his leave.
Forced to obey orders from an incompetent soldier, he requested transfer multiple times, only to
be refused. Increased resentment finally fueled Von to confront his problem head-on. After an
embarassing loss of face in front of his lancemates during an argument with his commanding
officer, Von disbanded from the military. He returned home and began to weigh the
consequences of his recent debacle. Finding himself with limited options, Von decided to either
join another House's army or fight on as a mercenary. Always loyal to his nation, Von has chosen
the Acer's Hueys mercenary unit as his new home. His capable BattleMech abilities and his
previous commanding position have melded him into what many now see as the perfect leader.
Though quiet and relaxed, Von commands authority more often than not. His Huey lancemates
often speculate on what experiences he may have survived in the past. They seem to admire him
for his mysterious past, previous commanding position, and his intimidating physical form. His
naturally large build is also subject to his own rigorous training and strict diet. Von now
commands the Huey's scout lance. His earlier warfare provides him with adequate experience as
a commander, skirmisher, and raider. Past intelligence tests indicate that he is near-genius,
possessing high mental capacities and complex thought processes. Von is unlikely to be fooled in
battle, as he will probably predict an enemy's actions rather than respond incorrectly to them.
One of his favorite strategies involves confining his enemy to woodland areas, so that he might
make use of his Trebuchet's powerful jump jets to outmaneuver his foe. Transmitting his image
into an enemy's cockpit console, Von is rumored to have ended battles without firing a shot.
Many believe he has scared his foes away in these instances. If rumors are actually true, then he
has probably peacefully negotiated these "would be" battles.
