[b]Name:[/b] Han Bjornson [b]Rank:[/b] Cadet [b]Allegiance:[/b] Lyran Commonwealth [b]Planetary Origin:[/b] [url=http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Tharkad]Tharkad[/url] [b]MOS:[/b] Mechwarrior [b]Synopsis of Role:[/b] The House of Bjornson was once a powerful force in the Principality of Rasalhague. It's patriarch commanded large tracts of land, paying tribute only to the world-lord that ruled over the entire planet. When the Draconis Combine attacked their world, House Bjornson answered the call. Soldiers, tanks and even a Battlemech were sent to fight off the encroaching forces of the enemy. But it was for naught. Their world soon fell to the Combine's forces, and the Bjornson's heir was forced into exile for fear of his own life. He was Han's great grandfather. He arrived in the Lyran Commonwealth seeking refuge, where he was taken in by a dying noble house on the edge of Lyran space. The heir soon married the eldest daughter of the Lyran house, and he went to work rebuilding his reputation in a new corner of the galaxy. He was able to uplift the Lyran noble house he'd married into, turning it from the sad state of affairs that it was into a reputable power in the region. His child, Han's grandfather, found a place in the court of the Archon. He moved the house to Tharkad as he worked his way up the ranks of the military. When he retired a well respected general, Han's father took over for the house- and promptly ruined their reputation. A lazy, good for nothing slob that did little more than drink booze and paw after women like the sleazebag he was, Han's father caused the honor of the Bjornson name to take a nose dive. It was only through sheer grit and force of will that Han worked his way into the Nagelring. Facing the prejudice of his peers and the mocking of his instructors, Han Von Bjornson is determined to restore honor to his house. To erase the stain of his father on his family's legacy. To truly earn the title of nobleman.

A Beagle Active Probe has been installed in the left arm, and the engine has been replaced with an XL version to accommodate for the weight of a Guardian ECM Suite so that one could be slotted in as well. The weapons remain the same as they are in the base model, though Han loathes the lack of double heat sinks and has made several remarks about just how hot it gets inside the Wolfhound's cockpit when he gets in a close range fire fight.
