Ted 'Big Unit' Conrad...
In the mercenary business, they have a saying: "You pay the least, you get the
angry. You pay the most, you get the proud." With this in mind, Ted "Big Unit"
Conrad displayed the pride of a lion. Though one of the highest paid freelance
mercenaries, Ted Conrad was neither an exceptional gunner nor fantastic pilot.
'Big Unit', as he was called, seemed to catch the popular eye while riding his 85-ton
Black Watch BattleMech.
Ted's assets seemed to lie in his popular image, his personality, and his high tech
equipment. His choice of BattleMech was a modern design. The Black Watch
sports all new weapons such as the MRM 40, the light Gauss rifle, and the Ultra
class 10 Autocannon. These combined with Ted's own advertising pitch made the
'Big Unit' package one often hired - by only those who could afford it. The Strikers
selected Ted primarily for his reputation and technology. His BattleMech was
unmistakable on the battlefield, which had often cast fear into enemy units. Ted's
technology also boasted a powerful 3 punch assault at medium range.
Ted was killed during the firebombing of a barracks facility. He was among those
off-duty and sleeping. Details about his death have been sketchy at best. Barely
any remains were recovered from what was left of his room after the intense blaze
finally subsided.
