Pryde, Aidan STAR COLONEL, JADE FALCON GUARDS
Preferred BattleMech: Timber Wolf
Status: Deceased
Star Colonel Aidan Pryde's life has been a constant battle since the day his sibko landed on Ironhold. Falconver Commander Ter Roshak thought he recognized AIdan as the virtual reincarnation of a former commanding officer, Ramon Mattlov. Because Commander Roshak wanted to honor his respected commander, even after his death, he took a great interest in young Aidan. When Aidan failed his Trial of Position, Commander Ter created a plan that gave him a second chance. Assuming the identity of a freebirth cadet named Jorge, Aidan passed his second Trial of Position and became a MechWarrior.
When Clan Wolf attacked the Jade Flacon-held planet Glory
Station to win the genetic legacy of Kael Pershaw, Star Commander Jorge (AIdan) devised a
plan that defeated the Wolves. After the battle, Aidan made his claim to fight in the
upcoming Bloodname contest, and his true past came to light. Convicted of treason to the
Clans in a trial before the Grand Council, Aidan won a Trial of Refusal and the right to
participate in the Grand Melee for the final slot in the Trial of Bloodright. Star Colonel
Aidan won his Bloodname, and proved his worth in a long and glorious career as a
MechWarrior. Star Colonel Aidan Pryde was killed on the planet Tukayyid while covering his
force's retreat to their DropShips. Star Colonel Aidan Pryde earned the Clans' highest
honor: The Jade Falcon gene pool accepted his genes, and his legacy will help produce
generations of fine MechWarriors.
