Name: Keele, Leikner Age: 23 years standard (22/4/3020) Homeworld: Robinson Gender: Male

Descrip: Leikner stands at 6'0", with high cheekbones and a strong jaw. Black, medium length hair stops just above his ears. His skin is tanned suggesting a life in the sun, and he almost always has a 5 o'clock shadow. Education: Starting in the Robinson Battle Acadamy in 3038, he was deployed in a Training Battle Company two years later. Posted around the area of Robinson, Leikner put himself forward for Officer training alongside his mundane studies and was accepted, earning his commission in 3045 when he passed through the Academy. Described by his tutors as taciturn, he excelled in the management of communications, relaying orders, and tactical insight. Distinction in roles of scouting, but keeps his cool in hot situations, or when surprised. It's also noted he has no especial hatred of the Draconis Combine

Military Experience: Leikner was posted first with the Palace Guard for Duke Aaron Sandoval, where he served until the Duke's death in 3048. Shortly before the Duke's death, he was promoted to the rank of Captain for disarming a few tense rioting situations non-lethally, having his Techs install a capacitor to his Jenner's Medium Lasers made them mostly harmless, if showy. A single shot of that unarmed laser in warning made the rioters consider their positions more carefully. The Duke mentioned that Leikner would be a better fit for the 1st Robinson Rangers, a unit that he commanded until 3025. The transfer was approved, and in a rare event, he was given permenant ownership of his JNR-D variant Jenner, "Knight Errant". '''

After a brief trial period, Leikner was given command of the third lance of L Company, 4th Batallion, 2nd Regiment. He is also the Executive Officer for Lima Company alongside Major Vila deVere. He has been steniously testing new 'Mech configurations in the simulators on Robinson and is eager to take to the field, having proven himself as a capable Scout 'Mech Commander.
