Holden Trumphay
Vampire Fangs Traitor
Vampire Fangs Traitor
Holden Trumphay is a man with a dark past. Once the commander of a small
group of outlaws, Holden became famous throughout Capellan systems as the
"White Thief". Though this past is one of his many stories, it is one he now holds
secret. Holden's unit was annihilated when a small group of Capellan-hired
mercenaries discovered his base. Fortunately for Holden himself, he was not in the
base at the time. Unfortunately, he lost everything dear to him; including many
close friends, his wife, and his child.
While trying to recover from such an ordeal, Holden sought work in which he could
forget some of his problems. He was soon hired on to a new mercenary unit called
the Vampire's Fangs. The Fangs are a team funded by Word of Blake. The unit
was created to give rise to the power of the Toyama faction within the Word of
Blake.
Unknown to Holden, the Toyama faction would soon fight the newest team to hunt
the White Thief under contract, the Strider's Strikers. After multiple battles, the
Fangs were left divided. The Strikers soon defeated the Fangs, capturing Holden
in the process. When his identity was uncovered by Striker Commander Mike
Strider, Holden lost all hope. However he was offered a secret pact by Strider.
Ensuring Holden's safety and financial well-being in exchange for his skills, Strider
released him into the custody of his would-be killers.
The Strikers collected their fee for accomplishing their bounty hunting contract.
Later that night, a Striker team rescued the "Thief" while under the guise of
Holden's extinct unit. Holden joined on to the Strikers, accepting an honorable
position of lance commander. Though the Clan half of the Strikers were
completely unaware of Strider's contract back stab, a limited few of the Inner
Sphere Strikers were trusted with this information. Investigations by Borg of the
Strider's Strikers Intelligence Corps have since discovered the dishonorable
recruitment, punishing Commander Strider himself after challenging him to a Trial
of Refusal.
Holden commanded his lance, appropriately called the Trek lance, whom
specialized in woodland and jungle combat. Two of the Mechwarriors under his
command were originally Capellan soldiers, ironically from units which his own
original team had regularly battled against.
Holden appeared to enjoy his role in the Strikers. He seemed to have found a
number of friends and at least some sympathy at times when he needed it. Holden
occasionally becomes silent and depressed, as those who know his real story might
expect him to. His lancemates were normally confused when he behaved this way.
His closest friends during his early years on the unit appeared to be Jane Curtain,
Dr. Byron Jones, and Clan aerospace pilot Opvall. Mike Strider remained a
confidante, but probably because he was the only Striker who knew Holden's story
full circle.
His teammates' respect of him grew in 3065, after Holden had held off a Blakist
group for weeks in their plans to attack the Strikers Head Quarters. Holden and a
small group of Mechs were the only units on-planet at the time, and he faced a
devastatingly large Blakist strike force determined to steal valuable data
regarding the Arbiter lostech Warship's location.
Holden prompted the Blakists to settle in by threatening to destroy the data
immediately. Not without resources, he used hidden exits to evacuate civilians and
deploy covert operatives whom collected information on the Blakist units. Judging
from his operatives findings, Holden knew he could never fend off the attackers in
actual combat. He opted to delay them as long as possible, even managing to
recruit a new lance of Mechwarriors using his contacts outside the base.
Eventually the Crusaders mercenary unit arrived on Miranda, where they would
take some R and R and meet with Sir Owen Hardcastle. Holden sent a distress
signal to the mercenaries and was able to secure their employment by offering
significant upfront payments. The only catch was the Crusaders unit had to break
into the Strikers base through a wall of Blakist forces. After doing so against
incredible odds, the Crusaders and Strikers joined under Holden's command to
evacuate the base and leave the Blakists to an empty Head Quarters facility.
Holden had succeeded in tricking the Blakists to believe he had the Warship data
when in fact, he'd never possessed any of the sensitive information the Blakists
had sought.
Holden and his lance faced an unfortunate task in 3068 when Blakist forces moved
against the temporary Strider's Strikers base. Holden ordered his men to seal off
the area to prevent further Blakist movement along a weakened retreating
Strikers' personnel convoy. The convoy was able to evacuate to a nearby
Dropship, but the deaths of Holden's lancemates Fritz Dravnerr and Fenton Hardy
have only added to the emotional stress he has been forced to endure in his life.
