Melissa Fox
Word of Blake Traitor
Word of Blake Traitor
One of the thousands of original World of Blake separatists, Adept Melissa Fox
always felt that Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht had ignored Jerome Blake's
vision. Melissa was thrilled when the Word of Blake became their own separate
power. She worked hard to see others like herself freed from Focht's version of
Comstar.
After making a name for herself with her superb scouting tactics, Melissa was
promised a new lance under her command in an area where she could make a
difference in the Inner Sphere. On order from Precentor Demona Aziz, Fox
traveled to Gibson where she would meet the Knights of the Inner Sphere in a joint
exercise between elite Marik and Word of Blake pilots. It was during this time
that she encountered Sir Owen Hardcastle, an assault BattleMech pilot with whom
she had a brief romance.
It was during her months on Gibson that Melissa realized what political move
Precentor Aziz was plotting. The Precentor had been planning to frame the Knights
of the Inner Sphere, forever shaming their honorable image among the great
Houses of the Inner Sphere. Melissa warned Sir Owen, and he took the blame for
the single act of dishonor.
The other Knights never learned of the Toyama conspiracy, and so found Sir Owen
Hardcastle guilty. After Owens' discharge from the Knights, Melissa was
commissioned to play a new role in dishonoring the Knights since the last had
failed. Though unwilling to fight the great House Marik which had sheltered the
Word of Blake, Fox was forced to join a special Toyama unit called the
"Denouncement" or face execution.
The Denouncement group possessed various secret Comstar assets stolen when
Word of Blake was formed. With these special technologies and this knowledge,
the Toyama faction initially hoped to overthrow Precentor Blane using any means
possible. Knowing immediate death would follow any refusal on her part, Melissa
played her role in the Denouncement.
She served in a special lance of the subgroup classified as the "Purifiers". The
group was simply a C3i networked lance, operating experimentally to evaluate the
performance of the sophisticated targeting system, as well as two of the lance's
premium Mechs: the 100-ton Vanquisher and the 90-ton Viking.
Melissa was captured while on a mission against the Strikers. Her lance had been
chasing the team across space and ambushed them while on a supply run. Her
story was revealed finally, after the "Purifiers" attempted to destroy a Strider's
Strikers landing party during the Strikers' journey to Nova Cat space.
Melissa's knowledge was extremely important news to the Strikers unit. The
commanders discovered the depth of the Blakist group's obsession with the
mercenary team for the first time. Because of his actions and noble move to
protect the Knights, Sir Owen Hardcastle was promoted to lance commander. He
and Melissa became a couple again after she joined the unit as a scout pilot. With
her defection, she brought along her 25-ton Nexus Mech.
Melissa was killed with the majority of her company when Blakists firebombed a
Strikers' command barracks in 3068. She was off-duty during the attack and
practicing sports at the time of the attack. Sir Owen Hardcastle has been hit hard
by her death. The two were engaged to be married shortly before the attack.
