Col. Matthew Humphries – 52, As the founding three members went elsewhere, Matthew Humphries was given the unit. He joined from the Fall of Andurien where Braham Essex personally fought at the Fall for Andurien for a long time. Humphries chose to come and bring some of his mechs and soldiers to Kilts and Commandos. Matthew is distantly in line for the Dukedom (something like 16th or some such). He gained massively more fame with us when he defeated Clan Ghost Bear on Thule after agreeing to use the batchall system. It was the first loss the clans suffered at the hands of an Inner Sphere unit.

After seeing his home planet fall, he wanted dearly to keep combat away from civilians and readily agreed to anything that would keep non-0combatents and the infrastructure safe – proxy battle elsewhere in quiet, uninhabited places suited him perfectly. He won several times against the clans, and was an instant star in the Inner Sphere as his story was told in news. Everyone wanted to find out who this man was, and it was a bring day for mercenaries everywhere, particularly those like Kilts and Commandos, Kell Hounds, and Wolf’s Dragoons that had defeated the clan threat.

Afterwards, Matthews was promoted to run the unit as Izumo retired to focus on the garrison and Academy, and then Essex left to run a nation.


Maj. Mei Zhen - 47. The XO of the unit is Mei Zhen. She is in charge of all maintenance, purchasing and sales, contract negotiation, recruiting, and other administrative tasks. Maj. Zhen is 2nd in command for purposes out the combat theater. She reports to Humphries. But inside of it, the other Colonels outrank her and have tactical command.


Capt. Randall Lewis – 50. Captain Lewis served personally with General Alexandr Kerensky during the final days of the Star League in the late twenty-eighth century. After another Captain disobeyed orders, won a battle that should never have been fought, and was given command of an experimental WarShip as a “reward”, Randall Lewis was made the Xo of the unit and reported to Kerensky directly and was the real authority. Then that ship jumped, and was held in stasis for centuries, to emerge into the Smoke Jaguar space. We were in the same sector, captured that WarShip in a Trial from the Smoke Jaguar Clan after they had done the same, and then traded that WarShip for another of the same class with ComStar and they gave us a bunch of other stuff to make it worth our while. Many folks from that ship defected to our own, and we promoted Lewis to Captain and he runs the Aegis-class warship, the Swift Victory, in our navy. He is a cubby, fun, gregarious individual who is sharp, fought in some of the largest naval battles of all time, and knows his craft very well.


Capt. Conner Ward – 34. This clan fighter was captured in the Clan Invasion and had won his clan bloodname. He now runs Shadow Battalion in our organization and tends to be one of our experts on clan-dom these days. We captured many others that are all in our TOE, but as the highest placed one in our organization, Ward tends to be the one at hand when we have an idea or question.

Col. Larry Rowe – 48. Leader of all of our AeroSpace assets, save for Lewis’s Swift Victory and whatever units are assigned to the Warship at the time. This includes a large number of Jump-capable, Aerospace fighters, Small Craft, and DropShips. Because he is in charge of a different aspect of our unit, he is not in line of command in an emergency unless it is space-based.

Magnus – Our first bondsman was taken on Thule against Clan Ghost Bear by Col. Matthew Humphries. Using his advice and knowledge of the clans in general and Ghost Bear in particular, he helped to guide us in understanding all things clan. Today we have 25 clan techs, 10 clan elementals and ex-bondsmen from every invading clan – Smoke Jaguar, Nova Cat, Steel Viper, Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear and Wolf. But Magnus is still our primary advisor on the clans.
