David Zhuo began his career in intelligence services as a “janitor” at Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy, monitoring new cadets and officer candidates for recruitment by the Republic of the Sphere. As the Republic military and territory shrank, David Zhuo was recalled to the Fortress Republic, where he was assigned to the First Army Group as a political officer and liaison, where he became quick friends with Max Ergen (internal).
Operation ERUPTIO
Zhuo served mainly as a liaison during Operation ERUPTIO, but also negotiated surrender and cease-fires in the name of the First Army Group. He did manage a small team of infiltrated agents as well, which he used to gather information on the political situation rather than military intelligence. As the First Army Group fell apart with Ergen’s defeat, David Zhuo kept the organizational structure of the Group alive, and remained in contact with various officers to rebuild the force.
Joining the Wolves
David Zhuo was the man who reached out to Clan Wolf’s Chance Vickers (internal) to have the First Army Group join the ilClan in the defense of the remnants of the Republic of the Sphere. Through corporate contacts, he was able to send a message over to Terra and arranged the meeting. The Wolf’s Loremaster was quite wary of the Ghost Knight at first, but Zhuo’s “friendly demeanor” won him over, especially as the Republican intelligence officer offered up some details on the First Army Group composition and positions. As the Provisional Galaxy was formed, David Zhuo was given the same position he had before, just as long as he also “actively participated” in the coming fights.
Battle of Yorii
An average at best MechWarrior, David Zhuo did participate in the Battle of Yorii as a scout commander. What Zhuo lacked in combat prowess he made up in cunning, and he is known for acting as bait to draw enemies into ambushes. For his service to Clan Wolf and the Provisional Galaxy, when Clan Thunder Boar was created, he became leader of the Zhuo Bloodhouse.
Battlemech
David Zhuo piloted a Wolverine 10R at first, which was replaced with a Conjurer after losing his machine in an ambush (that he had setup).
