Inexperienced Scout
A failed Capellan Confederation Armed Forces recruit, Master Harold Higginswas considered undesirable for a position in the Capellan military. His dreams
of a military life crushed, Harold has joined the Acer's Hueys as a second
choice. Though he does not fight for the Capellan Confederation and House
Liao specifically, the small mercenary unit he has chosen does represent these
sides during this Fourth Succession War. Harold joined the Hueys during the
team's first expansion from a single lance to a duel lance unit. His gunnery
skills do not typically rank with that of the average pilot. Some of Harold's
problems lie in his inexperience as a Mechwarrior. Harold is, by all standards,
as green as they come. His piloting skill is actually quite average, but Harold's
intelligence testing scores prove his lack of battle experience.
Though Harold has no outstanding talents at this time, he will probably improve
much with time. Like all pilots, he must be tested in the fire of combat. With
Davion and Steiner recent advances, it is likely that Harold will see more combat
than he would desire during his time with the Hueys.
Harold seems to be a cooperative member of the Hueys. He strictly obeys his
lance commander's orders. Harold admires Von Sturmer for his leadership
qualities. He gets along with other members of his lance including Thomas
TrevahrDhyl and Bridget Lones.
Harold pilots the 20 ton Locust. Though only a small Mech, the scout sports
more weapons than many other Mechs its size. With both duel machine guns
and duel medium lasers, the Locust can punch holes in other light Mechs rather
quickly. Unfortunately for Harold, the Mech does not come equipped with jump
jets. This is one feature Harold was hoping to take advantage of as a scout
pilot. However the Mech's large engine allows Harold to travel around the
battlefield at great speeds. This usually makes him a difficult target for enemy
Mechs.
