Lieutenant '''Collin Tolek''' was a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] who served with the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] during the [[Dark Age Era]].<ref name=MDADPC/>

==History==
Young and green as of [[3133]], Tolek was far from an elite MechWarrior, despite being a member of the Dragoons. Over-confident and reckless, he often overplayed his hand, and relied on ill-conceived battle plans. Demoted from [[captain]] to [[lieutenant]] for his over-aggressive approach, and reprimanded countless other times for getting separated from his support troops, Tolek only retained his position with the Dragoons due to being lucky enough to keep achieving results despite his limitations.<ref name=MDADPC/>

Derided by his superiors for his unearned arrogance, he was however considered by his lancemates in [[Collin Yukinov]]'s Alpha Command [[Lance]] as a friend, for whom they would gladly give their lives. These lancemates also included [[Geo Keane]] and [[Maclovia Saavedra]].<ref name=MDALID>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Liao Incursion Dossiers'', Geo Keane Dossier</ref>

Tolek had brown hair and black eyes.<ref name=MDADPC/>

==BattleMech==
Collin Tolek was known to have piloted a ''[[Cygnus (BattleMech)|Cygnus]]'' [[BattleMech]], [[BattleMech Serial Numbers|serial number]] HH992-19X, nicknamed ''Hell's Angel''. Built by [[Clan Hell's Horses]], this 'Mech was traded to [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] as part of a post-[[Word of Blake Jihad]] alliance, before being gifted by the Wolves to the Dragoons to help their recovery from the Jihad.<ref name=MDADPC/>

==Notes==
* While in the compilation product ''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'' Tolek's date of birth is incorrectly listed as 6 May 3135, the underlying ''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Fire For Effect Dossiers'' provide the correct date of birth being 6 May 3105.
