Anastasius Focht also known as Frederick Steiner. A member of House Steiner, Frederick was used by Aldo Lestrade as a contender for the throne of the Lyran Commonwealth while Aldo would pull the strings. He was commander of the Tenth Lyran Guards during the Fourth Succession War and led a suicidal mission against the Draconis Combine on Dromini IV. Offering himself to Kanrei Theodore Kurita, Frederick saved the lives of his men, though everyone thought him dead. Frederick Steiner joined ComStar under the name Anastasius Focht (German: He who fights again) and became their first Precentor Martial, head of the ComGuards. Focht was dispatched by Primus Myndo Waterly to be their liaison with the Clans. He quickly established a rapport with Khan Ulric Kerensky of the Wolf Clan. Upon discovering that the Clans sought to conquer Terra, home of ComStar, Focht gathered the ComGuards and issued a challenge for a proxy battle on Tukayyid, a world in the Free Rasalhague Republic. If ComStar won, the Clans would move no closer to Terra for the next fifteen years. If the Clans won, ComStar would surrender Terra, join the Clans, and deny their communications services to the Inner Sphere. Focht challenged the seven invading clans and succeeded in defeating Clans Smoke Jaguar, Nova Cat, Steel Viper, Diamond Shark, achieving a draw with Clans Jade Falcon and Ghost Bear, and was defeated by Clan Wolf. Winning four out of the seven battles meant the ComStar won the battle. Focht then deposed the mad Primus Myndo Waterly and worked to reform ComStar. He worked to preserve the truce and keep the Successor States ready for when the Truce runs out.
