Devoted Warrior

Decker Tressle is the son of Von Sturmer and Ellie Tressle, both of whom were
original pilots of the Acer's Hueys.  Decker has been raised as part of the Hueys
family, growing up with so many 'aunts' and 'uncles' who weren't really his
relatives.  Decker began piloting Mechs at the age of 12.  His mother let him ride
with her in the 90 ton Cyclops during training sessions.  Decker soon took a
liking to this new 'hobby', and by the age of 15 he could pilot the Mech by
himself.
Ellie Tressle disappeared in 3053.  After making a routine trade at a nearby
spaceport with Explorer Corps allies of the Hueys, she failed to return.  
Unfortunately this caused Ace Leghorn's paranoia to jump off the charts.  Ace
and his Hueys became even more reclusive.  Decker was deeply scarred by his
mother's disappearance, but found plenty of help within the team.  He has since
joined as a full time member.
Decker's relationship with his father is rocky.  Decker often feels alienated
because Von rarely expresses emotions regarding the loss of Ellie.  Decker
regularly talks with other members of the team when he feels like discussing the
loss of his mother.
Decker is an extremely skilled pilot.  He is more limited by his BattleMech's
configuration than his own skills.  He continues to pilot his mother's old
Cyclops to honor her memory.  He has finally considered upgrading the old
machine after being convinced of how much new weapons might improve his
abilities to protect his teammates.
Decker is a trusted ally and the closest friend of Merrick Leghorn.  The two
have grown up together during the paranoid times of Acer's Hueys escape from
House Kurita.  Decker knows that his friend Merrick dislikes the burden of
command.  He constantly supports his commander and helped him learn many
of the basics as young Merrick was growing up.
