The fictional BattleTech universe is populated by a wide variety of interesting characters. Mostly nobility, as BattleTech has strong politics in its story.

==Inner Sphere== Characters who are primarily associated with the Inner Sphere.

Candace Allard-Liao

Oldest daughter of Maxmillian Liao, she was an accomplished MechWarrior before injuries forced her into less active roles, she met Davion spy Justin Allard on Sian in 3026. In 3029 at the end of the Fourth Succession War, she escaped with the rescue mission sent for Allard, and broke off the St. Ives Compact from the battered Confederation, and married Justin Allard. Surviving the assinate that killed her husband, she secretly traveled to Sian, when many belived her dead, to assassination her sister Romano, and placed Sun-Tzu Liao on the throne, seeing him as the best option for the Confederation. She has led the Compact in its re-integration into the Capellan Confederation as the St. Ives Commonality, and is among the oldest major players in the Inner Sphere.

Justin Allard

Full name: Justin Xiang Allard, Hanse Davion's Minister of Information. He's the son of Quintus Allard and for a time, a spy on Sian. He masqueraded as a traitor to the Federated Suns and went to Solaris VII, becoming Champion of the games there. Attracting the interest of the Capellan Confederation, he became an important figure in the Maskirovka and his information was largely responsible for the magnitude of the Federated Suns' victories over the Capellan Confederation in the Fourth Succession War. Falling in love with Chancellor Maximilian Liao's eldest daughter, Candace, they left Sian and Candace's holding in the St. Ives Commonality seceded from the Confederation. They had four children: Kai, Kuan-Yin, Cassandra, and Quintus. Taking over his father's job, Justin became Minister of Information, Intelligence and Operations, until his assassination by a Liao terrorist sent by Chancellor Romano Liao.

Kai Allard-Liao

Eldest child of Justin Allard and Candace Allard-Liao. Served with the 10th Lyran Guards during the Clan invasion and engineered the destruction of the Falcon Guards on Twycross. Became champion of Solaris VII, a world famous for it's BattleMech Tourneys.

Later he led the First St. Ives Lancers during Operation Bulldog. After the end of the operation he joined Victor Steiner-Davion for the Great Refusal on Strana Mechty where he defeated Khan Vlad Ward of the Wolf Clan and achieved a draw against the Wolf Binary. He was released on his honor by his cousin Sun-Tzu Liao following the St. Ives capitulation to the Capellan Confederation. At some point in 3067 he was rescued or possibly kidnapped by the Bounty Hunter and was sighted in the company of Duke George Hasek of the Federated Suns just prior to the Duke's assault against the Capellan Confederation. His subsequent actions currently remain unknown, however he was killed in the late 3090s on Liao during the Capellan Crusades against the Republic of the Sphere.

Jerome Blake

The last Minister of Communications in the Star League. Reformed the Ministry of Communications into ComStar and preserved Earth from the firestorm of the Succession Wars. His works are often quoted by ComStar adepts, especially members of the splinter group Word of Blake.

The Bounty Hunter

A mysterious figure who appreared in the late 2900s, and wears a unique PA(L) (Power Armor - Light) suit. He/she intitially only took contracts on notorious criminals, who were more often than not brought back dead. Always a MechWarrior, he/she usually pilots a Marauder which was originally Natasha Kerensky's. More recently it has been a MarauderII and a Mad Cat. Always painted green with currency symbols painted on it, his/her mech is a feared sight on the battlefield. He/she has been active for close to a century leading to speculation that the Bounty Hunter PA(L) suit, 'Mech, and mythos are passed from parent to child or from person to person via the death of the former.

Outside of the fiction, the evolution of the character has become a controversial one. Originally a mercenary Mechwarrior/Gun-for-hire, the Bounty Hunter has been inevitably compared to Boba Fett of Star Wars and also the Dread Pirate Roberts. The introduction of powered body armor(PA) and the proliferation of this technology, leading to the Bounty Hunter's ownership of a PA(L) suit, has inadvertantly served to re-inforce the Boba/Jango Fett possibility among a number of fans.
