Support sarna. Clovis Holstein was an excellent computer programmer and a lostech expert. Born of an illicit affair between Aldo Lestrade IV and his mother.
During the same raid that killed Aldo's father and made him Duke, his mother fled Summer with the aid of a Heimdall cell. Clovis was born within six months. Other children were very cruel to him, but his mother comforted him with stories of his father, who she said was a bold MechWarrior who would someday come and take them both away.
As he grew older, he heard uncharitable references to his mother as "the Duke's whore. She admitted that she'd become pregnant by Aldo Lestrade, but was too terrified of him to deny his advances or to let Lestrade know that she was pregnant with his child. She told Clovis not to speak about it. With his mother and the rest of their Heimdall allies, he accepted a job from Gray Noton to hijack the Silver Eagle. Unaware of who the high-profile passenger aboard really was, but already thinking this could be a plot to damage Katrina Steiner , Danica Holstein and her son Clovis diverted the Silver Eagle to an abandoned mining colony in the Styx system and not to the expected rendezvous point.
At that time it was revealed that "Joana Barker" was indeed Melissa Steiner and the likely target, prompting Heimdall to ally with their erstwhile hostages in an attempt to fend off the incoming troops and prevent her capture. Then a second Invader arrived, hauling an Overlord this time, which turned out to be the Genyosha. Clovis helped to coordinate the defense of the Styx base, [4] and when the ISF troopers reached them, he helped Melissa to escape through the tunnels to the surface with help from Andrew Redburn , where they found the Kell Hounds who had arrived in-system escaping from a Kurita trap on Pacifica.
The Kell Hounds engaged and repelled the Genyosha, though unit commander Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Kell lost a BattleMech duel with Yorinaga Kurita and later died of the wounds he suffered, and he was present when Melissa told Patrick and the other Kell Hounds that she would be marrying Hanse Davion , [7] and later, he swore to secrecy in front of Hanse himself.
