Pryde, Marthe KHAN, CLAN JADE FALCON
Preferred BattleMech: Summoner
Status: Active
More than most Clansmen, Marthe lives for battle. Unwilling or unable to communicate in anything but th eprecise languge of command, she spends most of her time between battles in simulators, studying previous engagements or picking fights with subrodinates to "keep her sharp." Most of her unit is terrified of her off the field, but in battle she is one of the most powerful allies a MechWarrior could hope to have. Were it not for her lethal ferocity, Marthe would have been reassigned to a training unit long ago.
After the death of Vandervahn Chistu, Elias Crichell nominated Star Colonel Marthe Pride as his choice for a new saKhan. Star Colonel Marthe Pryde has a distinguished battle record and will make a formidable Khan. Marthe Pryde has served with distinction throughout her military career, and has led her unit to several impressive victories. Subconsciously, she continues to measure her accomplishments against those of her legendary sibling, Aidan Pryde of the Falcon Guards, whose memory still haunts her years after his death. The Star Colonel is widely respected, but rarely forms friendships even with her peers. In recent years, she has grown somewhat disenchanted with the Falcon Khans' emphasis on Byzantine political maneuvering and believes that they have subtly neglected military achievements. Pryde is determined to set the imbalance to rights by doing everything she can to re-establish her battered Clan's military prowess and prestige.
