Alexus Capone
Covert Assassin
Covert Assassin
Alexus Capone joined the Strider's Strikers in their unit expansion program.
Actually an old contact of Mike Strider, Alexus was an ill-famed assassin of the
Periphery planet Blackstone. Her work for Blackstone's operating government
was traditionally that which she excelled in, the removal of unwanted political
resistances or criminal organizations. Alexus met Mike on Blackstone in 3035,
while he was initially training for his future attempt on Redjack Ryan's life. He
had come to her seeking advice about small arms weapons, and the two had a brief
but close friendship. After 3 years, Mike discovered Alexus' secret life while she
was away on "business". They grew apart but the two remained in contact until
Mike left in 3039.
After his run with Hansen's Roughriders, Mike believed his new team might need
Alexus' handiwork. When Mike contacted her after nearly 20 years, she decided
that lack of work in the Oberon Confederation was gradually making life dull.
Alexus agreed to sign on secretly as a contract assassin, maintaining a
Mechwarrior image to protect the reputation of the Clan half of the Strikers. Her
situation only known to Mike Strider, Alexus then piloted an upgraded Thug with
which she seemed comfortable using.
She only employed her skills as an assassin once with the Strikers. Alexus
removed the specific Toyama Word of Blake officer whom had successfully
planned the demise of the Strikers' Wasat base. Her future work as an assassin
appeared to be stable within the Strikers, especially considering the Blakist
carnage directed at the unit during the mid 3060s.
Unknown to most, Alexus had also completed contracts for Ace Leghorn of Acer's
Hueys. In a revenge plot against the conspirators responsible for the demise of
Llana's Breakers, Ace hired Alexus to investigate and remove the Draconis
Combine officials involved in the Breakers termination. This contract proved to be
Alexus' bloodiest and most rewarding job, ending in the deaths of several powerful
members in military and political positions.
Alexus' identity came into jeopardy when Strider's Strikers Intelligence Corps,
headed by Nova Cat Mechwarrior Borg, discovered computer traces of payments
made by Colonel Mike Strider to an assassin. The records revealed the target and
the false cover name for the assassin's bank account. The revelation of this
information prompted an intense internal investigation of the Inner Sphere half of
the unit. Commander Mike Strider himself was challenged to a Trial of Refusal by
his Clan counterpart, Star Colonel Devon Carns. Mike lost the Trial and was
taken bondsman, causing an uproar among the Inner Sphere pilots. Only thanks to
the mercy of Devon Carns was Strider released to resume his position as
Commander of Strider's Strikers.
The investigation was aimed at discovering the identity of the assassin as well, and
Clan investigators had guessed correctly that the assassin was a regular employee
of Strider's Strikers. Though Borg himself uncovered the truth about Alexus, he
kept the information secret. He had determined that the results of his findings
would prove fatal to the Strikers' relationship with Clan Nova Cat, an end result
that he found unacceptable.
In 3067 Alexus suffered at the very hands of those she'd killed. The Word of
Blake struck out at Strider's Strikers Defensive Company during a training
exercise on the Trilobite Moon. Alexus was among those poisoned by the
Cobalt-60 nuclear explosive. She survived the initial blast, but damage suffered by
her Mech handicapped her piloting abilities. Even worse, it prolonged her
evacuation of the area. She suffered dramatic signs of radiation sickness only
moments after the explosion.
Alexus finally revealed her identity on her deathbed. Clan members of the unit
pushed for her legal trial, but no actions were taken by Inner Sphere hospital
guards. Only hours from passing away, Alexus was given the right to die a
peaceful death.
