Hendrik I Grimm, King of Oberon: Deserted from the LCAF and fled into the Periphery with the remnants of his own 6th and the 5th Lyran Regulars. Eventually made himself pirate king of the Oberon Confederacy. Was finally tracked down and forced to battle at Crater (Henry's Star) Lyran Guards Colonel Melissa Musgrave. The ageing Grimm defeated the Lyrans, but paid the ultimate price. The crown passed to his son, Hendirk.

Hendrik II Grim, King of Oberon: After spending years solidifying his grip on the realm (a typical problem for dictatorships) and expanding his influence to nearby systems, the second Grimm started raiding nearby realms. After the disaster at Somerset, he ceased raiding well defended regions, and instead took to statesmanship. He gained an alliance through marriage with the Greater Valkyrate (between his son, Hendrik III Grimm, Morgraine, the Pirate Queen of the Valkyrate), and subjugated the Elysian Fields (a largely non-piratical kingdom) and several indep systems. Killed by his own bannerman, Graf Tyros the Elder, and his head given over to the Wolves.

Hendrik Grim the Younger, Crown Prince of Oberon: Said to be an able military commander and mechwarrior. Married to Morgraine, the Valkyrian Queen to secure her allegiance. He has one daughter by her (and many bastards by loose women of all levels of society - if the rumors be true). Killed by his own father's guards in 3002, in what was a failed attempt to keep the (Black) Wolves at bay.

Tallia I Grimm, Queen of Oberon: The late king's oldest living child (Hendrik the Younger is her little brother). She had an expensive IS education and spent years at court, both in the Combine and the Commonwealth. Passed over for succession. Forbidden to marry by her father (probably to avoid complicating the succession).

Graf Tyros the Elder: One of King Henrik II's oldest and most loyal captains. Was turned to Queen Tallia I's cause, and delivered the King's head to his enemies. He was later made the Duke of Trellwan and moved there with his household his followers, and his (short) company of mechs.

Precentor Victor Ohm: Master of the Oberon VI Class B HPG facility. Implicated in the plot by the Combine/King Grimm to seize the ComStar jumpship and steal the SLDF computer core. Arrested by Anastasia Blake, pending an investigation.

Henri V Ricol, the "Red Duke" of Ricol: The head of an ancient clan of samurai. An important noble in the Rasalhague District and a respected mech commander. One of his ancestors earned the nickname the "Red Duke" after a particularly violent reign (even by Combine standards), many years ago.

Hassid Ricol: The Duke's son. A mechwarrior.
