Clan Wolf, throughout history, is best described as the supreme clan. Nicholas Kerensky himself became a member, and since that moment, Clan Wolf dominated the clans politically and militarily. Though previously a staunch Warden Clan, jealously and treachery led to the Wolves' near annihilation. Vehement crusader, ilKhan Vladimir Ward, brought his Clan back to life in traditional clan manner- by killing everyone in his path. While no longer the giant it was in the past, Clan Wolf retains its reputation for fielding the most skilled and aggressive warriors in the galaxy.
The Wolves' previous leader, ilKhan Ulric Kerensky, surpassed even Prince Hanse “The Fox” Davion in political and martial brilliance. He was staunchly Warden, and paradoxically, led then invasion of the Inner Sphere in order to eventually stop it forever. Working schemes within schemes and subtly using the clans' natures against themselves, ilKhan Ulric saw to the delay of the invasion and ensured the clans stood idle while his ideological foes, Clan Smoke Jaguar, were wiped from existence by Operation Bulldog. After the defeat in the Great Refusal, the new blood emerging from the sibkos throughout the clans soon began to chafe under the enforced peace. This discontent gave power to the crusader movement now led by Clan Jade Falcon. Through political machination, the crusaders ousted ilKhan Ulric from power, and in a bid to delay the clans invasion even longer, he unleashed Clan Wolf on the Falcons in a clan-wide Trial of Refusal. The Wolves marched over broken Falcon mechs to the Jade Falcon Inner Sphere headquarters. There, through final dishonorable treachery, Ulric Kernsky met his end and Clan Wolf, briefly, ceased to exist.
Surviving that calamity, Vladimir Ward emerged from his broken Timber Wolf a different soul. His aggression and warrior ardor became focused/ After a tumultuous path of vengeance through clan society, Khan Vladimir Ward is now the most influential warrior in the crusader bloc. Clan Wolf is rebuilt, seething for a fight. The stars of the Inner Sphere, enveloped in the Jihad, hang in space like ripe fruit.
