'''Lars Borjon''' was a scout [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]], who commanded the two recon [[company|companies]] of the [[Rasalhague Freemen]] during the [[Word of Blake Jihad]].<ref name=MMp107/><ref name=MDADPC/>

==History==
Lars was born in [[3047]] on [[Grumium]] to a martial family that sent all his older siblings to the [[KungsArmé]]. Showing apptitude for scouting in light [[BattleMechs]], he graduated from [[Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy]] on the eve of the Jihad. Assigned to the [[2nd Freemen (Free Rasalhague Republic)|Second Freemen]] on [[Dehgolan]] he prepared for a Word attack that never came.<ref name=MMp107/>

After annexation by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] Lars was both reluctant and unsuccessful in a [[Trial of Position]] to remain in the armed forces. He petitioned [[saKhan]] [[Ragnar Magnusson]] to allow warriors who failed their Trials to form a unit and join [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] coalition. Seeing this as a method to be rid of resentful ex-warriors and aid the coalition, the saKhan agreed. Lars assembled two reinforced companies which were named [[Rasalhague Freemen]]. Operating primarily as a recon force, they threw themselves into the fight with remarkable fury.<ref name=MMp107/>

Lars participated in [[Operation SCOUR]] with [[Stone's Coalition]], helping to [[Battle of New Earth (3078)|liberate]] [[New Earth]] in [[3078]], as part of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]'s contribution to the effort to defeat the [[Word of Blake]]. Following the Jihad, Lars joined the newly formed [[Republic of the Sphere]], with other Coalition soldiers who believed in [[Devlin Stone]]'s vision.<ref name=MDADPC/>

This contribution provided Lars with some small measure of fame, of which his family remained proud for years afterwards, including his grandniece [[Irena Borjon]] who served with the [[Triarii Protectors]] in the 3130s.<ref name=MDADPC/>
