The Ilclan – (Wolf Empire)
Clan Wolf, the Clan of Founder Nicholas Kerensky, has long stood at the forefront of Clan history. The Wolves were the first Clan to reach full combat readiness in preparation for Operation Klondike, the Clans’ first true crucible of combat, and its warriros fought on two different worlds during that campaign, prompting Nicholas Kerensky to attach his legacy to the Clan. Furthermore, Clan Wolf first developed Elemental battle armor, which gave the Clan an edge over its rivals in combat.
Nicholas Kerensky believed the Strana Mechty wolf to be the perfect epitome of the warrior spirit. Much large and heavier descendants of the North American wolf of Terra, Clan Wolf’s totem was a wily and stealthy pack hunter, a noble predator worthy of emulation.
The influence of the Wolves’ first Khan, Jerome Winson, shaped them into a moderate Clan with a pragmatic outlook, one that follows tradition only when prudent. Like their namesake, they hunt in packs and strike with resolve, using versatile, evolving tactics that, though oftentimes unorthodox, lead to indisputable victories – and with victory, honor.
In 3151, Khan Alaric Ward led the Wolves to glory by achieving the ultimate goal of the Clans’ existence: the conquest of Terra. Declaring himself ilKhan and claiming the title of First Lord of the Star League, Clan Wolf is now the ilClan, the Clan above all Clans. As he rebuilds the wolves strength, Alaric plans his next moves, ready to forge a new destiny for the Inner Sphere.
