Dorian Wirth was a cold and calculating warrior who commanded Alpha Galaxy of the Smoke Jaguar’s Touman in the Inner Sphere at the time of Operation REVIVAL.
History
Dorian was born on Strana Mechty. He was the top cadet of his sibko testing out with three kills and the rank of Star Captain. Assigned to the Fifty-third Battle Cluster he fought with distinction during the internecine Clan conflicts that marked the mid-thirty-first century. He was a skilled tactician and an even better strategist. Marked as a ristar he quickly rose to command the Fifty-third Battle Cluster as their Star Colonel and in 3026 won his bloodname. Later that same year he was elected saKhan. He was noted for a close relationship to Kincaid Furey.[1] However, at least by 3046 his political star was waning and he had lost his position.[3]
Dorian Worth retained the rank of Galaxy Commander, leading Alpha Galaxy upon the Clan's return to the Inner Sphere and the launch of the Fifth Wave. He was the injured saKhan Sarah Weaver's personal representative, conducting the bidding for the Battle of Luthien in her name. Despite his efforts, he was killed in that action.[2]
Personality and Traits
He was noted to be cold and calculating, but on top of this, he could be aggressive or subtle as the circumstances required.[1]
BattleMechs
Dorian Wirth piloted a Dire Wolf into combat.[1]
Quotes
| “ | We are the Smoke Jaguars. We leap upon our prey, bearing him to the ground and tearing out his throat. We fear no enemy. We seek him out and kill him where he lives. We do not wait for him to come to us or meet him on grounds of his choosing. | ” |

Notes
- Luthien sourcebook is noted for its many errors. Smoke Jaguar saKhans pre-REVIVAL are unclear, and without definitive rulings as below, all information is assumed to be correct, though any source may be overwritten or declared nonconanical. This article assumes there is a way to make a harmonious history for characters without ignoring any source.
- The biography for Sarah Weaver in Era Report: 3052 states that Wirth (spelt incorrectly as Worth) was only a Star Colonel during the Battle of Luthien contradicting other references and that he personally represented her[3] and was a Galaxy Commander (elsewhere in ER:3052) or saKhan[1]
- Given that Weaver's entry in ER:3052 incorrectly denotes Cordera Perez as a Star Colonel, there continues to be no definitive version of the Smoke Jaguar command structure pre-Tukayyid.
