'''House Kincaid'''  was a wealthy family from [[Killbourn]].<ref name=BT:Lp14>''BattleTech: Legends'', p. 14</ref>

==History==
===Origins===
The Kincaid family was a wealthy, well-connected family hailing from [[Killbourn]], very influential in the [[Terran Hegemony]]. In the [[twenty-fourth century]], one of his members, Elishia Kincaid had several sons, and he placed high expectations onto the eldest, Charles Kincaid. The father used all the money and influence needed to ensure his son's success. Charles succeeded, becoming a high ranking officer of the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]], and entering on the history books as the first [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]. Ironically, that also doomed him: the rush to accelerate the tests made Charles suffer brain damage due to a defective [[neurohelmet]], which eventually made him unable to pilot. The family carefully hid that, painting it as damage suffered in combat, and [[House Cameron]] also covered it up.<ref>''Battletech Legends'', pp. 14–15</ref>

==Family Heirlooms and Holdings==
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
Oliver Kincaid piloted his family's famed [[Archer#Apocryphal_Variants|''Archer'']] which he nicknamed ''Agincourt''. In one of his final requests before his death in [[3023]], he bequeathed it to [[Nikolai Mason]]'s son [[Jake Mason|Jake]], feeling that he owed Nikolai a debt for saving his life. Unfortunately, the [[BattleMech]] became the center of a disagreement between the baron's daughter [[Kate Kincaid|Kate]] and his estranged son, [[Bowen Kincaid|Bowen]], and required [[Nik's Cavaliers]] to assist in bringing it to a close.<ref name=MW5Mbaa/>
