Editing The Clans (section)

== Clanners of Note ==
* '''Nicholas Kerensky''': Son of Aleksandr Kerensky, founder of the Clans and the first ilKhan. Often known as the Founding Father and the Great Founder. He was quite crazy, but it's not known if it was due to his mother being unhinged from a genetically inherited mental illness as well, or due to side effects from surviving the Curse of Eden, a deadly brain-damaging disease. While recognized as a visionary political leader, his peers occasionally found his messianic complex to be too much; though most held their tongues. 
* '''Jennifer Winson''': Mother of the Clans and Kerensky's wife as well as one of his closest supporters and agents since the Amaris occupation of Terra. Allegedly the sister of Jerome Winston. May have secretly been Amanda Cameron; last scion of the Star League’s ruling house though this information is unproven speculation outside of universe.
* '''Andery Kerensky''': Nicholas’ younger brother and a person more in touch with the common man. He was also one of the few people who could temper Nick’s messianic complex and outlandish ideas without suffering blowback despite sharing a mutually strained relationship with his brother. Unofficial member of the Founders due to not being Khan, he was also a lover of Clan Coyote’s first Khan, his death by mass fire from enemy units who breached Clan lines during Operation Klondike made Nicholas codify ''Zellbrigen'' for honorable dueling to prevent such deaths again. Sara McEvedy was a close friend and his death made her start second-guessing Nicholas (who she suspected of unproven fratricide).
* The first forty Khans: the first generation of Khans and SaKhans, also known as the Founders.
** '''Jerome Winson''': First Khan of Clan Wolf and the second ilKhan. Was a close confidant to the Great Founder himself, after rescuing him and his family from Moscow during Amaris' rule. After leaving his wife behind with the Spheroids, he founded the first of the Clans and led them to victory on countless occasions. He avenged Kerensky by slaughtering the Widowmakers to the last and succeeded him as ilKhan. He's often seen as the one responsible for the Golden Century, the Clans' golden age.
** '''Elizabeth Hazen''': First Khan of Clan Jade Falcon and one of the most fearsome Clanners that has ever lived. She was the first person to tame a Jade Falcon, which she named Turkina. One of the survivors from the Black Watch’s near annihilation during the Amaris Coup, she was apparently in love with her old boss, SLDF general Aaron DeChaviller, and his horrific death at the hands of Liao rebels during the fall of the Pentagon Worlds made her go so berserk she [[AWESOME|butchered them all, on foot, with just a sword.]] She became Khan when she was 80, making her the oldest of the Founders. She was quite famous in Clan history for ending several rebellions in a bloody manner.
** '''Franklin Osis''': First Khan of Clan Smoke Jaguar. Surprisingly, he used to dislike conflict in his youth, but two awful experiences changed him into a killing machine: spending a year in a labor camp for being part of a FedRat gang that killed a Capellan, and the death of his younger brother Simon at the claws of a Smoke Jaguar, which [[RAGE|made him snap and kill the giant cat with a small knife]]. After becoming Khan, he and the Smoke Jaguars became infamous for [[Exterminatus|burning entire cities to the ground Vietnam-style]] during Operation KLONDIKE. Unlike the rest of his Clan, he grudgingly respected the civilian castes for their vital jobs in keeping the clan functional. Osis is one of the few that managed to enrage the Great Founder himself and live to tell the tale.
** '''Dana Kufahl''': First Khan of Clan Coyote and creator of several of the Clans' traditions. She was also Andery's lover and his death messed her up so badly that she retired afterwards, becoming an ambassador. Was raised by a Cree tribe, so she was quite a hippie.
** '''Sarah McEvedy''': First and only officially recognized Khan of Clan Wolverine. Supposedly killed during their annihilation in 2823, but was instead captured and spared by Kerensky himself. Apparently marooned on the planet her Clan died until Trish returned, she seemingly led her clan's remnants out of the Kerensky Cluster alongside Trish and their reformation into the Minnesota Tribe.
** '''Dwight Robertson''': First saKhan of Clan Wolverine. Was killed during a Trial of Refusal against the Widowmakers after getting tag-teamed by two King Crabs; McEvedy as his partner barely survived and became even more jaded with the Clans before launching Operation Switchback.
** '''Ellie Kinnison''': First Khan of Clan Steel Viper. Infamous for being a crazy yandere that had the hots on Kerensky himself. Ultimately went completely crazy and tried to murder his wife, which led to her death at her own saKhan's hands. After her death, she and her Bloodname were Abjured and wiped from the records by Kerensky. She's now only remembered as the Not-Named Khan. 
** '''Steven Breen''': First saKhan of Clan Steel Viper, and its second Khan. Rebelled against Kinnison's madness and killed her to save Winson. His actions saved the Steel Vipers from sharing Kinnison's fate.
** '''Jason Karrige''': First Khan of Clan Widowmaker. An ambitious, smug and manipulative bastard, he hated the Wolverines for their fair treatment of their castes. He destroyed the city of Great Hope with a nuke and tricked the other Clans by making them believe the Wolverines did it, transforming their Trial of Absorption into an Annihilation. After discovering the truth of his actions and his death at the hands of Hallis, Kerensky secretly Reaved Karrige and his Bloodname.
** '''Mariel Sanders''': First saKhan of Clan Widowmaker. Was assassinated during the assault on Dagda in Operation KLONDIKE. Unfortunately for the opposition, the Widowmakers marked all opposition as collectively guilty by association and brutally hunt them down with extreme prejudice; making the other Clans concerned.
* '''Franklin Hallis''': Second and de facto last Khan of Clan Wolverine. Led his clan during the Annihilation. Avenged Great Hope's destruction by killing Karrige himself. After his death, Kerensky himself buried him.
* '''Trish Ebon''': Third and last saKhan of Clan Wolverine. Survived the Annihilation and led the remnants of her clan outside Clan space.
* '''Cal Jorgensson''': Second saKhan and last Khan of Clan Widowmaker. he was an abrassive hothead that ruined his clan's relationship with the Fire Mandrills and Goliath Scorpions. He ultimately damned his clan when he ordered the killing of hundreds of Widowmaker merchants for demanding better treatment. During his Trial of Grievance where he tried to stop Clan Wolf's Absorption of the Widowmakers, Jorgensson killed Nicholas Kerensky himself by shooting his Atlas II in the cockpit with his Highlander's Large Lasers after being dazed. Winson had him executed and Annihilated the Widowmakers for his actions. He was brother of Hans Jorgensson of the Ghost Bears.
* '''Lincoln Osis''': Last Khan of Clan Smoke Jaguar. His extreme bloodlust led to his death and his clan's destruction at the hands of the Second Star League when they unleashed Task Force Serpent and Operation Bulldog under Victor Steiner-Davion’s command.
* '''Natasha Kerensky''': Last Khan of the unified Clan Wolf before the Refusal War killed her and split in the Clan in two. She is infamous as a hot-headed mercenary in the Wolf’s Dragoons unit before old age and time away from the Clan forced her to retest for her credentials with her protege, Phelan. She is legendary for downing the most opponents in her Trial of Position on Clan history and her Mech was left unmolested after her death as a monument to her prowess. The clan would remain split until the Third Star League.
* '''Vladimir Ward''': Savior of the Crusader half of Clan Wolf. Was a rival of Phelan Kell when he was captured and later adopted as a Warrior. Had a romance with Katherine Steiner-Davion, the mad bitch responsible for the Fed-Com civil war and mother of the first IlKhan of the Third Star League (who she created with her brother’s genes and raised up in Vlad’s image as her revenge against the Inner Sphere).
* '''Phelan Kell''': Savior of the Warden half of Clan Wolf and its leader when they went into exile. Was originally a member of the Kell Hounds mercenary unit that was captured before being adopted into their ranks.
* '''Brett Andrews''': The last Khan of Clan Steel Viper. Also known as the Bloody ilKhan for starting the [[Wars of Reaving]] that led to the Homeworld Clans' downfall and the Annihilation of his Clan.
* '''Aiden Pryde''': Arguably the best mechwarrior in Jade Falcon history, a true Jade Falcon at that; cold, prideful, arrogant and most importantly he got the job done (until Tukkayid happened). Originally failed testing due to the shenanigans of his Sibko and future Jade Falcon Khan Marthe Pryde, he would adopt the name of a recently dead freeborn and use his forged identity to attain the title of warrior. He would eventually reveal his true identity in order to win the Pryde bloodname, earning himself a couple of enemies in the shape of JF warriors who thought the way he became a warrior was disgraceful and was given command of the disgraced Falcon Guards as an insult. His heroic self-sacrifice at Tukayidd allowed the rest of the Jade Falcon Touman to withdraw intact and changed his reputation from dezgra to paragon of his clan.
