[[Viscount]] '''Olin Vogel''' was a personal emissary of [[Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]].<ref name=DaTR2>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 2</ref>

==History==
===Trellwan Concord===
Vogel was dispatched to [[Trellwan]] to treat with the nearby [[Oberon Confederation]], a coalition of bandit groups. On behalf of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], he negotiated the [[Trellwan Concord]]—a mutual defense pact that would give administrative and military control of the planet to the Confederation and its king, [[Hendrik Grimm III]]. This would free up [[Carlyle's Commandos]], the mercenary unit serving as the planet's garrison, for duty elsewhere. Word of the agreement leaked out to the indigenous population, which was incensed about the deal. The Oberon Confederation had raided the world in the past, and the natives were generally hostile toward off-worlders.<ref name=DaTR2 />

===Death===
A delegation from the Oberon Confederation was to arrive on a neutral third-party freighter of [[House Mailai]] to finalize the treaty with a change of control. As the [[DropShip]] landed, it unexpectedly opened fire and deployed [[BattleMech]]s. At the same time, commandos stormed the planetary garrison base, overrunning it. A small number of Carlyle's Commandos escaped on their [[DropShip]], but Viscount Olin Vogel was captured. He was brought before the [[Harimandir Singh|enemy war leader]], who rejected a suggestion of ransom by fatally shooting him in the chest.<ref>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', chs. 3–5</ref>
