Captain Grex Rohr Steele
A native of Talon, a dry planet in the Federated Suns, noted for it's Mech factories. Grex Steele is 186cm tall, and masses 85 Kilograms. He is big in the shoulders and has strong legs. His dirty blonde hair is worn slightly longer than regulation, with a full handlebar moustache. His eyes have the steel grey color common in his family. His manner is gruff, yet friendly. As a graduate of the Federated Suns Sakhara Academy, he is allowed to wear the spurs of a House Davion Mechwarrior. He wore them as part of his Harriers uniform and continues to wear them as part of his Spartans uniform.
Grex speaks with an accent identified as Terran-Texan, complete with slang and frontier period sayings. While Grex has always had slight Terran-Southern accent associated with natives of Talon, he aquired his deeper accent during his stay at the Sakhara Academy. The rumor is he did it to annoy certain classmates with hightened sense of their own bloodlines.
He is currently the CO of Steele's Spartans, a mercenary Mech Company in the employ of the Lyran Commonwealth. Before founding his own unit, he was in command of the Heavy Lance in Checkmate Company of Haldane's Harriers. Not all of command is glory...
Mechwarrior Karl Tashido Hilnder
A native of New Kyoto, his family served the Lyran Commonwealth His speech has a slight gaelic accent and is peppered with Japanese and German words and sayings. He is just over six feet in height, with blonde hair, blue/green eyes and a slight Oriental cast to his features. He carries a Harriers issue laser pistol, several knifes (the type and number vary) and a Daisho that have been with his family since they left Terra. He also owns an English style long bow (which he made, along with the arrows) and DCMS issue automatic pistol. When off-duty, Karl often wears a kilt nearing the Hilnder Tartan. As a skilled Tech, he spends much time in the mech bays. He is currently a member of Steele's Spartans.

He has been a Graduate Philosophy student at Berlin University, and EuroCorp Security. Some of his steady contacts include Moth, Hyss, Wiley, Ember, Zipper, and Lurch.

Harold Blake
A squire to the Knight Ian McDuff. Harold is a handsome young cad. A bastard son of a bastard noble. He inherited all his dad's bad points, plus a few of his own. His father did keep up the payments to his mother, and provided some breaks. Probably because Harold was more like him than his legitimate children. One of Harold's few redeeming qualities is his loyalty to Sir McDuff.

Imperial Navy Petty Officer Third Class Viviana Amber Strasse
Recently riffed from the Imperial Navy after the Fifth Frontier War, this Technical Branch electronics troubleshoot and computer ace is on Regenia looking for adventure, and a steady paycheck. She was a character in a PBEM game that has actually got off the ground. I've written two short background stories about her. Interesting session, the players made the best of a GM who was a jerk. Said the game was one thing (members of a band and their crew), traveling about the Marches playing and doing covert intel work on the sly. Instead, right off the bat, the ship crashes on ice on a primative world, giving the crew just enough time to get off with the clothes on their back before it sinks below the ice and into deep water. Things got worse them there. The players were great, and made the best of it.
Imperial Navy Lieutenant Anthony Elvis Steele
Another PBEM character. This one is at the boarder of the Spinward Marches with a mixed crew of Imperial Navy and Imperial Interstellar Scouts on a dangerous mission. He is a former JAG investigator currently assigned to Security Branch and from there, Imperial Navy Intelligence.
Pepper Maize
Another PBEM character. Pepper served on small tramp free traders. She's tough, practical, good with people, and is always looking for what's in it for her.
Sir Jace Pedersen
Jace is a scholar and Imperial Noble who can be found in Rim Space. He is currently in the Pulp Hunters PBEM game.
Terran Confederation Naval Ensign Harold Randolf LeBlanc
"Binkie" LeBlanc is one of those TCN Ensigns put in charge of entire Villani planets at the beginning of the Rule of Man.
You may have noticed a multiple Steele and Strasse entries.
