Lamont Sanford
Salvager
Working with his father as a BattleMech salvager for the past 15 years have kept
Lamont Sanford quite busy.  Lamont's father Fred, a salvager and technician for
Outworld's Alliance military, has taught his son everything he knows about
BattleMechs.  Lamont's rich education in the area first fueled his interests to begin
piloting the great machines.  Enlisting in the military for a Mechwarrior position, he
was discriminated against because of his reputation as "only a technician".  
Despite what most say, Lamont has had more than adequate training in Mech
piloting.  After his nation let him down, Lamont discussed his options with his
father.  He decided to join a mercenary unit after gaining his father's blessing.  
Lamont applied for many positions before meeting with members of the Strikers.  
Apparently his rough look and salvager resume did not impress those units he
applied to.
Lamont is well respected amongst the Strikers.  His great knowledge of
BattleMech designs and weapons have aided in several of the Strikers' technical
debacles.  Lamont usually finds himself tinkering with Mech remains after
large-scale battles.  He often drives one of the Striker's utility trucks in search of
rare or valuable parts.  Lamont's passion behind the continuing of his father's
legacy remains strong.  He is particularly valued by Striker techs and even Rocky
Potts himself.
Lamont is also well respected for his good nature towards rookie pilots.  Always
ready to aid the inexperienced, he provides several of the Strikers with private
lessons.  Among these members was Mural Rye-Del, head of the Strider's Strikers
security agency.  Lamont taught the old man the basics of a 30-ton Urbanmech.  
Lamont's capabilities as a teacher shown through clearly when Mural began
mastering the machine, eventually taking it into combat on several occasions.
For his energetic personality and good nature, Lamont was selected as a lance
commander.  Those under his original command included Adam Vindraff, Kurtis
Carrico, and Alexus Capone.  His lance suffered heavy losses during the nuclear
explosion on the Trilobite moon.  Lamont has suffered moderate radiation
poisoning as a result of the attack, but has mostly recovered from the incident.  
Losing his pilots Adam Vindraff and Alexus Capone has taken a stressful toll on
Lamont, but his bright and optimistic personality have lead him through these dark
times.
Lamont pilots an 80 ton Zeus which belonged to Mason Garr.  The Mech's paint
scheme remains woodland camouflage(Mason's favorite) in remembrance of
Mason, whom died while protecting the Striker's Wasat base.  Lamont continues to
aid new pilots and teach his own lessons towards any interested in learning the
basics of piloting a Mech.
