Background:

Tbone was born and raised in a Vietnamese family, a culture that has a strict way of life. They believe that the earlier that a person starts their training, the more experience the person will get. Thus, as a young boy, Tbone was constantly training his mind and body, through martial arts, sports, books, and meditation.

At the age of 14 Tbone had surpassed most of his classmate and out smarted most of his teachers. But his short temper and violent nature stopped his education short, when he punched out his principle's front teeth in an argument.

With this Tbone left his home planet, and join with a small band of rebels for a short period of time. Then he soon joined with the 331st Minnesota Tribe, on a distance planet that the Tribe was raiding. They saw that the kid had talents and enlist him in their Academy. Once in the academy, Tbone quickly and easier mastered most of the training requirements, this was due to his many years of training. Tbone first chance of piloting mech was at the age of 15, most of his instructor comment that the child was a natural and graduated him earlier. He quickly rise in rank as time goes on, and within the Tribe, Tbone controlled his temper as much as possible, thus enabling him to get along with other tribesman easily.

Under the Command of Sheik DeVega in the 7th Royal Hussar "The Huns", Tbone learn quickly the necessary skills to survive on the battlefield, and how lancemates are the key to survival or death.

Tbone has been recently awarded the Senior NCO of the 382nd Royal Dragoons "Black Eagles" and is in charge of the all the Minnesota Tribe and Word of Blake ground force recruits and cadets being sent to the 382nd Royal Dragoons "Black Eagles" from the North America area.
