I knew what that image was from right away.
Clan Wolf was not only one of the original twenty
Clans founded by
Nicholas Kerensky, it was given the distinct honor of carrying forth Kerensky's name and his genetic legacy. This status as caretaker of the Kerensky
Bloodname also served as a source of conflict with other Clans, especially
Clan Jade Falcon, which felt slighted by the
ilKhan's decision. Named for the massive wolves of
Strana Mechty, which grow to nearly twice the size of their ancestors on
Terra, the Wolf Clan has been a dominant force in the Clans since it's inception. Responsible for the
Annihilation of
Clan Wolverine and the
Absorption of
Clan Widowmaker, Clan Wolf was also instrumental in the development of
Battle Armor. The leader of the
Warden faction in the
Grand Council, the Clan was nevertheless forced to participate in the
Clan Invasion of the
Inner Sphere, where they proceeded to outshine all other Clans in the number of worlds conquered. Clan Wolf was nearly destroyed by its hated enemy the Jade Falcons in the
Refusal War that followed, but although the Clan survived it was split in two: a
Crusader-minded Clan Wolf and Warden-minded
Clan Wolf-in-Exile.
