Colonel Halvorson Crowe was an Inner Sphere mercenary commander, notable for serving as the leader of Crowe's Bloody Buccaneers for most of the 31st century's latter half, from the end of the Clan Invasion in 3052 through the early days of the Republic era. Son of the equally famous Bayard Crowe, Halvorson cut his teeth as a MechWarrior serving alongside his father during the Clan Invasion, and after inheriting leadership over the Bloody Buccaneers at the end of that conflict, would go on to serve with distinction in the FedCom Civil War and the Word of Blake Jihad, among other conflicts.
