Sir Rick Ridges
Devoted Idealist
Devoted Idealist
Yet another former Knight of the Inner Sphere, Rick Ridges first became involved
with what he calls 'active justice' when he entered the Marik military. Despite high
test scores and what seemed to be a knack for general knowledge, Rick declined
university life for the more exciting aspects that a career in the military might
promise. Rising to the top percent of his class, Rick soon became overconfident
and started questioning his superior officers to some avail. However when the time
came for Rick to participate in a military exercise that had been intended to
prepare the Free Worlds League from the possibility of a Clan attack, his big
mouth got him into trouble with his temporary commander.
Rick was penalized for his behavior and his opportunities seemingly dimmed. He
was sent offworld as a garrison officer to a backwater planet. As he slowly learned
his lesson, Rick also plotted a big comeback. He vowed to return to his original
unit and worked to do so. After a year and a half on the backwater world, Rick was
given a promotion and promised a change in assignment. When the time came for
him to be deployed elsewhere, his orders never came.
After two more years of punishing garrison duty, Rick's hopes brightened when the
Knights of the Inner Sphere were revealed. Knowing he could make the cut with
his abilities, Rick quit the FWLM and traveled to Gibson. There he met his future
lancemates and successfully joined the Knights unit.
After learning of several political problems and the direct threat that the Word of
Blake posed to the Free Worlds League, Rick was convinced by his lancemate
Alec de Payens to form a new mercenary unit. The unit, called the Crusaders,
would be designed specifically for doing combat with fanatical groups throughout
the Inner Sphere. With his skills and experience, Rick established himself as both
a founding member of the team and the lance commander of its scouts.
