Greta Halperin was originally a loyal March Militia soldier until she deserted her post to turn to piracy. Joining up with Rocky's Bloodhands, she would operate along the Federated Suns' Periphery border, and is wanted in both the Crucis and Capellan Marches for her crimes.[1]
History
During the FedCom Civil War, Halperin would join up with Jepso's Jaguars under the assumed name of "Jane." Captain Tanik Jepso brought her on in part due to her advanced Hellspawn, which she called Paralyzer, and because she personally liked the new pilot. This would prove a fatal mistake, as Halperin's modus operandi was to infiltrate small mercenary commands, spying on them and waiting to eliminate their commander.[2]
On 17 October 3065 while on a routine patrol in the forests of the Halcion Highlands, "Jane" led Jepso's Jaguars into a well-laid ambush set by the Bloodhands. Turning her 'Mech's four arm-mounted medium lasers onto to the back of Captain Jepso's Wolverine, killing the unit's commander and allowing the pirates to gut the disorganized mercenary command in short order. The Jepso's Jaguars would be only one of a dozen small mercenary commands to fall pray to Greta Halperin's tactics.[2]
On Malagrotta in 3074, Greta Halperin was personally instrumental in her crew's success. She was able to infiltrate as an independent MechWarrior looking to secure employment amongst the garrison force of the city of Hammond. Soon after the Bloodhands arrived in force outside the city walls. and Halperin isolated the garrison commander's Quickdraw from the rest of his lance. As before she turned on him and quickly eliminated him. With their commander dead, Hammond's defenses quickly crumbled and the Bloodhands stormed the city, killing more than two thousand civilians and slaughtering the entire Hammond Defense Force.
When reinforcements arrived to save the city, the Bloodhands were already gone, lifting for orbit, and Greta Halperin is believed to have lifted with them.[1]
