History
Early Life
Born in Iowa, in the North American region of Terra, Kenyon came from a family who generally chose between dairy farming and ComStar for their profession. Growing up with stories of his grandfather's and great-grandfather's service in the Com Guards, it was not surprising he eventually became the nineteenth member of his family to choose ComStar.[1]
Chayim Protective Services
Attending Trade School, Kenyon subsequently accepted a contract with a ComStar private security front firm Chayim Protective Services, to gain military experience and see the Inner Sphere. Earning his experience from a wide range of assignments Kenyon gained a reputation for quick action, including when he destroyed a small retention dam on the Curtis River Valley, during a raid on Appian in the Fronc Reaches in 3129. His quick thinking in his engagement was credited with saving the lives of twenty homesteader families.[1]
ComStar
On returning from the Periphery, Kenyon earned a Senior Adept role within First Division under Demi-Precentor Juan Fredarico, who he succeeded by 3135. From at least 3136 to 3140, Kenyon was effectively in command of the entire of First Division as its Executive Officer, with his formal command of Unending Faith III-Beta being handled by his second Senior Adept Ina Finlay.[1][2]
Epsilon Eridani
In February 3141, Kenyon commanded Unending Faith III-beta on Epsilon Eridani, during the Republic of the Sphere's campaign to annihilate the Com Guards' First Division. Defending Alpha Base in the Shamus Mountains, with the last survivors of First Division, Kenyon led ComStar's last stand against the attacking Fourteenth Hastati Sentinels and Stone's Revenants on 20 February. Kenyon's troops were however shattered following a charge by RAF Major Herman Manes, with the last remnants fleeing deeper into the mountains.[3]
BattleMech
Kenyon was known to have piloted a Peacemaker SecurityMech early in his career.[1] By 3140 Kenyon was piloting a AEM-05C Dragoon BattleMech.[2][3]
