Shard...
Mechwarrior Shard was considered a scholar among many of his solahma warriors.
 Shard spent nearly all of his time reading literary works, primarily those of ancient
Terran Old English history.  Among the generation of Clan warriors of whom most
finished their careers before the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere had begun,  
Shard desperately wanted to fight on Tukayyid.  However his early disgrace using
tactics unknown to the Clans destroyed any chance at a future bloodname.  His
obsessions with honor went well beyond those of the Clans.  Shard's own code of
honor was dictated by what he learned from his literature, primarily the short epic
"the Battle of Maldon".  Shard was a strong believer in vengeance of fallen allies.  
He was known for breaking zellbrigen during battle on a number of occasions,
trying to ensure that he could avenge fallen fellow warriors.  Though one of his
famous acts towards such vengeance angered Commander Carns, the solahma's
aim held true in protecting a fallen Duo Maxwell.  One of Shard's twin gauss shells
crushed the cockpit of Maxwell's attacker, instantly killing the enemy pilot.  Shard
piloted an experimentally customized Sirocco, which he had named Wulfstan.  The
name came from his books, and its was significant in meaning "he who holds the
bridge".
Shard was killed in battle against Blakist attackers on the Strider's Strikers Head
Quarters in 3068.  He finally won over his commander's approval after avenging
Mechwarrior Jarred's death in the opening sequences of the lopsided firefight.  
The solahmas faced an outstanding number of opponents with 36 Blakists pushing
past their five Clan Mechs.  All of the solahmas were killed during the ensuing
battle as the Blakists held no interest in taking prisoners of any kind.
