Rally...
Bred a trueborn Mechwarrior of Clan Jade Falcon in 3030, Rally tested out as a
Mechwarrior, performing adequately in his testing.  He was subsequently
transferred to the Jade Falcon's Gamma Galaxy: Jade Falcon Galaxy.  Following
his deployment to Gamma Galaxy, the Battle of Tukayyid took place.  Tukayyid
was a harsh mistress to even the most battle weary veteran;  Rally was blooded by
the best the Inner Sphere had to offer.  Assigned to a light Mech star performing
scouting and flanking missions, his star avoided much of the heavier fighting.  
Nonetheless, his star was forced to wade into battle against forces that
out-numbered and out-tonned them.  When the call to retreat came, his star was
down to just two Mechs, and badly damaged at that.  Following that ill-fated fight,
many bloodnamed warriors had fallen on the field of honor.
Due to his actions on Tukayyid, Rally was sponsored for the bloodname of Pryde.  
After the fierce combat for the bloodname, Rally came out on top, proving he had
matured as a warrior.  Bumped up to Star Captain, he was given control of a Binary
in Gamma Galaxy.  His first assignment was a simple raid behind the Federated
Commonwealth lines, on the planet of Warrenvale.
Shortly after his drop on the planet, he realized he was in trouble.  The Star
Colonel, Dev Iler, had bid too low.  Fighting desperately for his life, and the life of
his short lived command, he was forced to fight a retreating battle back to the
Dropships.  After his 'tactical retreat', and a stiff dressing down by Star Colonel
Dev Iler, his Binary saw little action for some time to come.  When he did see
combat, he was finally able to prove himself a competent commander on several
occasions.
Content to battle and leave the politics of Clan Jade Falcon to others, he was
rewarded with missions of greater and greater honor.  Then in June of 3057 on
Antares his Binary, turned Trinary, was forming the defense of some 'out of the
way hovel'.  Shortly after contact with the enemy, he received a transmission
calling for a Trial of Possession for the city by the Steel Viper commander,  Star
Captain Sasha Breen of Alpha Galaxy.  Depending on his superior hand-to-hand
fighting prowess, he choose the fight to be un-augmented.  Dropping out of his
Mech and into the Circle of Equals, he took stock of Sasha Breen, deciding the
combat to be quick.  As soon as the fight was joined, he lunged for his opponent,
but slipped on a moss bed, knocking himself off balance.  Taking advantage of his
mistake, Sasha knee-capped him with a kick.  Despite this debilitating injury, he
managed to fend off her attacks for some time before finally being forced out of the
circle, losing his fight, and control of the city.
Soon he found he lost more than that, as Star Captain Sasha Breen used her
prerogative as the winner to take him as bondsman.  Losing his bloodname and the
rights as a Jade Falcon Warrior, he was taken into Clan Steel Viper.  Since then he
has been personal trainer in hand-to-hand combat to Sasha, following her through
the gauntlet of Clan politics, and further into the Strider's Strikers.  Rally went on
to not only reclaim his status as a Mechwarrior in service of Steel Viper, but also
earn himself a respectable position within Strider's Strikers.
With the poisoning of Claudia, his Star Commander, Rally and the other Steel
Viper warriors rallied against those guilty in the Word of Blake.  With his
well-executed attacks against several of the Blakist assault Mechs, Rally achieved
great glory in battle.  Many would argue he played the role of Sasha Breen's right
hand in the coordinated assault.  It seems only obvious that Rally will rise to
greater heights even yet.  He may eventually even truly triumph over his
reputation as a bondsman, a spot on his record that continues to dog him
regardless of how much he has accomplished.
