Major '''Jameson Nigel''' was the commander of the [[21st Striker Regiment]]'s 7th Striker Battalion ("Nigel's Nightslayers"), and its Battalion Command Lance ("Nigel's Guards"), of the [[Eridani Light Horse]] from at least [[3025]] until [[3029]].<ref name=MH78>''Mercenary's Handbook'', p. 78</ref><ref name=TNWIM>''There's No We in Mercenary''</ref>

==History==

===Early Life===
Born to poor parents in Eridani Light Horse's Supply Division, Nigel knows well the unglamorous side of the mercenary life, leaving him as a man who rarely smiles or shows excitement. Only his skill as a MechWarrior, initially discovered by chance at a carnival, has allowed him to rise to his senior position.

As of 3025, his only friend was Major [[Pierre Bouchard]], at that time commanding the 7th Striker Battalion's 27th Company. Bouchard's appointment to Nigel's Battalion caused Nigel to believe Bouchard would be after his job, though Bouchard had done nothing to encourage this paranoia.<ref name=MHp73/>

===Fourth Succession War===
During the [[Fourth Succession War]] on 12 January 3029, Major Nigel participated in the Eridani Light Horse's ambush of [[Warrior House Hiritsu]] with his unit, on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Kawich]]. During this engagement, Nigel's unit has some success against the [[42nd Armored Lightning Regiment]]’s first BattleMech battalion, whose advance he delayed with hit and run tactics as well as by setting a forest fire.<ref name=TNWIM></ref>

==BattleMech==
Nigel was known to pilot a ''[[Victor]]'' [[BattleMech]].<ref name=MH78></ref>
