History
Jonas Otto Lechner is the 4th son (6th child) of Baron Felix Lechner, master of a large agricultural holding in the Lyran Commonwealth. Being far down in the line of succession for his father's title and lands made Jonas a rather unimportant member of a family very focused on advancing its station and fortune.
He was shipped off at a young age to military school and later the Sanglamore Military Academy on Skye. Somewhat bookish, Jonas did very well academically in both institutions. He saw a military career as a way to outshine his older and more favored siblings and worked hard.
During his final year at Sanglamore, Jonas became involved in a underground fencing society popular among the upper classmen. If not for significant peer pressure, the physically unimposing Jonas would likely have avoided participating. An accident during a practice match left Jonas badly injured and his hospitalization forced the administration to take official notice of the fencing society's activities. Many cadets were disciplined and the scandal further estranged Jonas from his family. Upon graduation, he decided to strike out on his own and attempt to make a career of being a mercenary mechwarrior.
