Steven Greycloud was an officer of the Arcturan Guards that won fame (or infamy) for the fury of his attacks.[1][2]
History
Steven Greycloud was a conservative warrior that nevertheless often acted on impulse under stress and demonstrated his liking of physical combat using his tonnage to inflict crippling damage, earning him his nickname which he hated.
Elements of one of the Arcturan Guards units were on garrison duty on Alphecca when his lance detected a force of BattleMechs advancing slowly from the northeast. His lance was able to identify them as one of Redjack Ryan's raiding forces which consisted of eight 'Mechs of various tonnages. Although his forces were outnumbered two to one, they took defensive positions. Once the enemy 'Mechs started bombarding them with their long range missiles, the Arcturan Guards advanced towards them to engage in close combat. The pirates' heavier 'Mechs concentrated their fire on Steven Greycloud's Grasshopper trying to box him in, seemingly unaware of his 'Mechs' jumping capabilities. Greycloud surprised them by jumping 100 meters and landing feet-first on the shoulders of a Warhammer ( the heaviest pirate 'Mech) and fell it to the ground with a crushed cockpit. This sent the rest of the pirates in a panic and they fled.[1][2]
Greycloud was decorated for his bravery on Alphecca.[1][2]
