Salander Morgain was formerly a soldier who fought against both Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Steel Viper, implicitly with the Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards.[3] By December 3054 he had retired from service and returned to his homeworld of Borghese.[1]

History

Morgain was a member of the Preservationists (a small planetary organization that grew on Borghese) designed to preserve the way of life and protect the planet from the ravages of the Clan Wars. It was a political unit with some muscle in the form of BattleMechs,[4] with one of the spokespersons wanted to surrender to the Clans to preserve the planet[5] and with Hauptmann Salander Morgain as the group's muscle.[6] His soldiers were beaten by the Black Thorns, with Morgain himself killed in action by his former second-in-command Antioch Bell after hearing Morgain gloating over his duplicitous plans.[7] It later came out that Morgain had been a crooked officer and a thief, selling AFFC supplies on the black market for his own profit, and that he had actually been discharged under less-than-honorable circumstances.[8]

BattleMechs

Salander Morgain piloted his personal Marauder II, and it was heavily implied he owned or otherwise controlled access to the other Preservationist-aligned 'Mechs, including an Awesome, BattleMaster, Stalker, and Banshee.
