A former warrior of Clan Burrock, Star Commander Bogdan of the Gastopiv Bloodhouse now serves Clan Star Adder as a warrior in the 80th Adder Cavaliers. While he was faced with relegation to a solahma unit, Bogdan was one of the first to volunteer for the attack on the Blood Spirit world of York. This would be his last chance to strike back at the enemies of his old Clan.

With the exception of a very small handful of warriors, Bogdan has been on York longer than any other Star Adder and has gone through several Battlemechs in the past four years. In his last battle, a Blood Spirit Warhammer IIC had severed the right arm of his current 'Mech, a Great Wyrm and cost him the use of his right eye. After spending several weeks recovering from his wounds, he was presented with his newly re-configured ‘Mech by his Cluster commander, Star Colonel Rai Paik.

As the Star Adders were growing short of supplies, the technical crew used some of the isorla that had been taken from the Spirits. Using two large lasers taken from destroyed Blood Kites, the techs fabricated a new mount for the Great Wyrm’s right arm. This was not the end of the work as they replaced the damaged missile with a new short-range launcher from stores. With so much   heat now being generated by the addition of energy weapons, they installed three additional heat sinks while saving some space for more armor for the relatively thin-skinned ‘Mech.

Bogdan has taken this new Great Wyrm into battle twice since recovering from his injuries. In the first battle, his Cluster beat off an attack by the Spirits 158th Crimson Guards and personally took out a Griffin IIC and two Indra vehicles before the Spirits retreated from the field of battle battered and bruised.

In the second battle, the Spirits struck with a tremendous fury and sent two Clusters, the Red Guard and the 72nd Crimson Cuirassiers, at the 80th’s position. It was more than the Adder Cavaliers could face as the weakened unit was beaten down even further. Rather than face certain destruction under the onslaught, Star Colonel Paik ordered his troops to retreat to a better position. The 80th is down to a third of its original strength and can field less than twenty battle worthy ‘Mechs. Given this woeful news, Bogdan has a strong feeling that the next battle will be his last. However, he also knows that his death will be glorious.
