Ronnie was a Topangan who commanded a trebuchet at the Glenview defensive wall some thirty years after The Change when Bruce Delgado led his Chatsworth Lancers and other Valley forces in an invasion attempt. Jared Tillman was part of the crew and wrestled with the windlass with the rest to lift the one or two ton counterweight between shots. Ronnie encouraged his men by singing improvised doggerel which wasn't appreciated and inspired catcalls. However, Ronnie wasn't deterred; if he couldn't inspire his men into action, he would annoy them into it.
