Name: Marcus Taylor
Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 163 lbs
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Reddish-Brown

History: Marcus Taylor has a pretty standard background. His mother was a homemaker and his father was a foreman in a nearby mech factory. At a young age Marcus was always exposed to battlemechs and has been fascinated by them. Despite his high marks in school and an invitation to attend Tharkad University, he received his parent's blessing and joined the military. He was fast tracked into an officer's academy where he earned a reputation for his ferocity in battle and charismatic leadership.

Qualifications: After a hastened graduation from Nagelring Academy in 3059, he was sent to the front at the age of 19 as part of Operation Bulldog. While away Marcus learned of his father's passing just after victory was claimed against the Smoke Jaguar forces.

The promising performance that Marcus displayed during the Operation had him fast tracked to a newly formed unit that was used primarily as shock troops on the fringes of Davion held space. Sometime in June 3068, his unit's Dropship suffered a fusion drive malfunction that killed all hands aboard. He was spared the fate that his unit suffered that while performing duties elsewhere. Rumor has that a handful of survivors from Taylor's previous unit were with him at the time and foul play has been ruled out.

Remarks: Marcus is known to be fanatical in his devotion to his unit and family to the point of somewhat reckless abandon. During Operation Endgame, Marcus single handedly took out 2 BattleMechs that were mutinied against the Legionnaire Commander. His BattleMech was destroyed in the engagement, forcing him to eject. His efforts saved Captain Benjamin Maxwell from an almost certain doom. He suffered severe injuries, but was able to report for duty with a clean bill of health after 3 months of intensive Physical Therapy and Surgery.

Currently: With his mother now older and unable to fend for herself, he decided to join the mercenary outfit named the Legionnaires (the unit he was with during the event that destroyed his unit) so that he can help his mother live out her days in comfort.

NOTE: During Operation Bloodhound, Marcus and 5 other members of his unit have reportedly deserted in the face of the enemy. Their whereabouts are currently unknown and any information leading up to their capture or location may result in a reward. Foul play has not yet been ruled out. Marcus Taylor's only surviving family member, his mother, has not had any contact from him and currently retains any of his remaining finances in hopes of Marcus's return.
