Solahma Outcast
Mechwarrior Shard was considered a scholar among many of his solahma
warriors. Shard spent nearly all of his time reading literary works, primarily
those of ancient Terran Old English history. Among the generation of Clan
warriors of whom most finished their careers before the Clan invasion of the
Inner Sphere had begun, Shard desperately wanted to fight on Tukayyid.
However his early disgrace using tactics unknown to the Clans destroyed any
chance at a future bloodname. His obsessions with honor went well beyond
those of the Clans. Shard’s own code of honor was dictated by what he learned
from his literature, primarily the short epic "the Battle of Maldon". Shard was a
strong believer in vengeance of fallen allies. He was known for breaking
zellbrigen during battle on a number of occasions, trying to ensure that he
could avenge fallen fellow warriors. Though one of his famous acts towards
such vengeance angered Commander Carns, the solahma’s aim held true in
protecting a fallen Duo Maxwell. One of Shard’s twin gauss shells crushed the
cockpit of Maxwell’s attacker, instantly killing the enemy pilot. Shard piloted an
experimentally customized Sirocco, which he had named Wulfstan. The name
came from his books, and its was significant in meaning "he who holds the
bridge".
Shard was killed in battle against Blakist attackers on the Strider’s Strikers
Head Quarters in 3068. He finally won over his commander’s approval after
avenging Mechwarrior Jarred’s death in the opening sequences of the lopsided
firefight. The solahmas faced an outstanding number of opponents with 36
Blakists pushing past their five Clan Mechs. All of the solahmas were killed
during the ensuing battle as the Blakists held no interest in taking prisoners of
any kind.
