Adam Vindraff
Pirate
Pirate
In the backwater worlds of the Capellan March, Mech skirmishing is a common
scene. Confusion is often wide-spread, with both Davion and Liao forces curious to
whom the locals actually side with. Some, very few in fact, make profits off of this
confusion. Adam Vindraff was one such man. Adam, a native of the Capellan
March, gradually turned his back on both of the militaries who so often fought to
control his home galaxy. Becoming a lone pirate, he schemed with several of the
local politicians in backstabbing both houses.
Using information as ammunition, Adam found military weak points using political
data as well as rumors. He would attack these points himself while working for any
number of the politicians. Adam often worked for multiple sides in conjunction so
that his profits were maximized. This work and its pay provided him with rather
large amounts of money. This could readily be seen by Adam's Mech, a Clan
upgraded Gallowglas. The Mech is part of the Inner Sphere's response to the
Clans, containing a Clan ER PPC mounted on a new Inner Sphere chassis. The
Mech also mounts jump jets, which provided him with increased mobility and an
easy escape route when situations went sour.
Adam's job was quite dangerous, but he had been just the type to welcome such
dangers. He commonly faced multiple, small, guard Mechs. His 70 ton Gallowglas
usually handled any enemies he encountered.
He had an incredibly large set of contacts he has used over the years in finding his
information. He also had thousands of enemies. Over the years he had come to
call his operations "shadowruns" due to their silent, deadly intent. Adam had
signed on with the Strikers in an attempt to give up his old lifestyle. Finally
deciding that his "shadowruns" had become too dangerous, he had chosen to join a
mercenary unit. Adam chose the Strikers because they choose not to relate to any
major House within the Inner Sphere. While his number of allies began to grow,
and his enemies were lost with the past, Adam became confident he could retire
within a few years. Owning his BattleMech provided him with special benefits as a
Striker. Another major contributor to his growing wealth was the leftovers from his
days as a pirate.
Adam was known for fighting dishonorably among the Strikers. Though the Clan
members spread rumors about him, Adam seemed to care little. He often fought
one on one, but used zellbrigen to lure dangerous Clan opponents away from other
members of the Strikers. Adam also liked tricking enemies into a false sense of
security, concealing the Clan nature of his weaponry until an enemy had become
over-confident.
Adam was killed during the nuclear explosion on the Trilobite Moon in 3067. He
was caught in the outer area of the main blast and his Mech was severely burned.
He was killed instantly in the fire, and even little of his Mech remained after the
terrible heatwave had scorched it into the earth around him. Those present during
the attack remember the tragic scene even more vividly because of the terrain
around Adam's Mech. He had been crossing a sandy portion and the entire area
was left as glass when the heat had finally subsided. His charred Mech could
easily be seen in the vast expanse of naked glass crystals. Though he'd met an
unfortunate end, he'd also earned an impressive number of kills and much respect
from his Inner Sphere lancemates.
