Sameer Carter
House Davion Veteran
Sameer Carter has spent much of his life in the military. Joining at the age of 21,
he possesses an earlier start than most. His career had once been strictly limited
to his home nation, the Federated Suns. Sameer has fought many battles and lost
many friends since the arrival of the Clans in late 3049. His stories of war are
typically horrific, describing the deaths of friends and enemies alike. Sameer's
departure from the Federated Suns was for the same reason that many soldiers
left; he refused to take orders from Katherine Steiner-Davion. Sameer joined the
Strikers during the end of their Outreach recruitment. While traveling directly to
the Irece Prefecture he had much time to ponder the coming war between Davion
and Steiner forces. Sameer briefly regretted joining the Strikers because he felt
that he could have played a larger part to liberate the Federated Suns from
Katherine's rule. He was greatly disappointed when Strikers' commanders decided
that only Clan forces would aid the Davion loyalist cause.
During the early days of the Clan members strike against the Lyrans, Commander
Carns sent the Clan half's first major salvage from the Davion campaign to Sameer
in the Irece Prefecture. Devon spoke of the 95 ton Hauptmann as "the first of
many Steiner Mechs to fall alongside Katherine's rule". Within the same year,
Sameer's own lance was assigned under Duo Maxwell in another contract involving
operations against the Lyrans.
Though he initially contemplated breaking his contract to aid House Davion,
Sameer chose to honor his pledge to the Strikers, a decision cemented when he and
his lance were given a chance to fight in the Fed-Com War. His experience placed
him as commander of the powerful Thunder lance. Sameer has used his Lyran
Mech design to great avail, especially during his ferocious combat against
Katherine Steiner-Davion and her supporters.
After the first attacks by the Word of Blake hit Miranda, Sameer became a vocal
representative of all proposed attack plans against the terrorist group. When the
Word of Blake firebombed an Inner Sphere barracks complex in 3068, Sameer was
one of the few survivors. With most of his direct teammates killed, he has only
become more determined to punish those he holds responsible for his new unit's
losses. Sameer is a champion of justice in a dark time. This position no doubt
comes with much stress.
