History
Leftenant Marlowe was on Tikonov when the Capellan Confederation invaded the planet and was placed in particular danger due to the Confederation's desire to capture and reverse-engineer his BattleMech's heat sinks. When attacked by a reinforced lance of enemy 'Mechs outside of Salat, Marlowe requested reinforcements before making an unsuccessful attempt to hold off the faster Capellan machines with his rotary autocannons. After switching to accurate LRM fire, Marlowe managed to completely eliminate two Anubises and badly damage an Agrotera before switching to his lasers as the enemy continued to close in. After reducing the hostile force to a Vandal and a Lu Wei Bing, Marlowe's autocannon was disabled by enemy fire—BattleROMS recovered after the battle clearly showed him dropping his 'Mech's weapon and advancing against his opponents with his machine's fists flexing and steam pouring out of every seam. By the time his reinforcements arrived, they discovered the remains of Marlowe's 'Mech lying atop the destroyed Vandal with the decapitated Lu Wei Bing nearby, with the young warrior himself dead in his cockpit after being pierced by an LB-X autocannon round.[1][2]
Marlowe was posthumously awarded the Medal Excalibur and he was later inducted into the Order of Davion, with his name appearing on the wall of honor located in the Order's hall.[1][2]
