Major Antony Kelter, 1st Urban Warfare Battalion
Sheratan Planetary Militia
Antony Kelter was born on Sheratan in 3030 just after the Federated Suns had conquered the world during the Fourth Succession War. His father, David Kelter, was the CEO of Kelter Pharmaceuticals, a company known for its massive profits and questionable ethics. Kelter has a subsidiary company, Kelter Defense Systems, that has the exclusive contract to supply the Sheratan Militia with personal bodyarmor, despite the fact that the armor has been proven to be faulty during ballistics tests. Many troopers prefer to spend their own money for better vests and helmets rather than wear the "suicide suits" of KDS. David Kelter is a huge contributor to the campaigns of many local politicians, allowing his corporation to keep its priveledged status and its ill-gotten profits.
Antony grew up in an environment of wealth and priveledge, attending the finest prep schools. Instilled with ambition by his father and older brother, who is a member of the planetary legislature, he decided to make his mark in the militia, completing an ROTC mechwarrior course at Sheratan University. His family connections helped him rise through the ranks despite his lack of combat experience, culminating with his appointment as executive officer of the 1st Urban Warfare Battalion.
Antony has proven himself a stickler for parade drill and mundane protocol, something that his troopers absolutely dispise. His uniform is always immaculately pressed and cleaned no matter what situation he finds himself in. His battalion had a much more competent commander in Leftenant-Colonel Ferguson, but his death in combat, has left the remnants of the Sewer Rats in the hands of Kelter.
Major Kelter currently pilots a Sentry BattleMech, but his father is pulling some strings to get him a new JagerMech from the Federated Suns. It appears his powerful father has connections with House Davion as well as the local government on Sheratan.
