Notable Personalities
Name: Commander Jaime Wolf
Assignment: Supreme Commander of Wolf's Dragoons
A short, compact man with gray hair and beard, Jaime Wolf, born in 2981, remains fit and active.
Although he mounts his reconditioned Archer for the occasional 'Mech training exercise, he retains
the superior piloting skills of his youth, though younger Dragoons can match his speed and
reflexes. for close to half a century Jaime Wolf commanded the Dragoons on and off the battlefield,
leading the unit from victory to victory and earning a reputation as a brilliant tactician and
strategist. In the course of his career the Wolf has fought for and against all of the Successor
States and most of the Clans, gaining the respect of opponents as well as employers. Wolf's classic
texts on military strategy and tactics, once the exclusive property of the Dragoons, are now
required reading at leading military schools throughout the Inner Sphere. The long years of strife
brought tragedy as well as triumph. The death in 3055 of his last surviving son, MacKenzie, seemed
to break Jaime Wolf. He withdrew from his responsibilities, abandoning control of the unit at a
crucial phase in the rebuilding of Dragoon strength following the losses on Luthien. Wolf's enemies
within the Dragoons took advantage of his apparent weakness to stage a rebellion that shook Wolf
out of his lethargy. Supported by a majority of Dragoons, both old and new, Wolf met and overcame
the rebel challenge. Jaime Wolf then retired from field command. Recently, he has turned his
attention to governing Outreach and guiding the Dragoons in their emerging role as an independent
Inner Sphere power.
Name: General Maeve Wolf
Assignment: Field Commander of Wolf's Dragoons
Compact, raven-haired Maeve Wolf has proved her ability as a MechWarrior time and again,
demonstrating a lethal combination of skill, reflexes and fighting savvy said to rival those of the
famed Black Widow, Natasha Kerensky. As a commander, Wolf has conducted offensive and defensive
operations with equal ease, often achieving notable successes with forces most leaders would have
considered insufficient. Her troops praise Wolf's fairness, likening the General to a mother wolf
for the fierce protectiveness she shows her warriors. As the first Dragoon to hold the rank of a
General, Maeve Wolf is charting new territory. Part of the Dragoons' restructuring, the new rank
emphasizes the unit's independence by dropping the traditional practice of ranking a mercenary
officer no higher than colonel. The new rank also dispenses with the custom of regarding the unit's
field commander as "first among equals", a command styleemployed by the Dragoons since the death of
the unit's original co-commander Joshua Wolf. So far General Maeve Wolf has risen to the demands of
the position. During such incidents as the Corralize Affair on elgin and the Black River campaign
on Yorii, she reaffirmed Dragoon traditions regarding the respectful treatment of civilians and
strict adherence to the ancient Ares Conventions. Because of her youth and her resemblence to Jaime
Wolf, the uninformed usually assume Maeve is Wolf's granddaugther. Early biographies referred to
her as one of the Dragoons' war orphans, but she was born and raised in one of the sibkos founded
by the Dragoons to replenish their depleted ranks following the Fourth Succesion War. Born of mixed
bloodlines, Maeve felt she could claim no honorname and made her unknown parentage a point of honor
by refusing to participate in any honorname competitions despite her obvious qualifications. That
resolution crumbled when the reunited Dragoons added the name Wolf to the list of honornames. In an
incredible display of respect for her performance in the recent fighting and approval of her
qualification, none challenged Maeve's claim to the name of Wolf. Persistent rumor suggests that
Maeve is Jaime Wolf's illegitimate daughter and points to nepotism as the source of both her
honorname and her promotion. However, Jaime Wolf's oath to bar any of his blood from a commander's
position for two generations, coupled with Maeve's impressive service record, give the rumor little
credence. Maeve Wolf promises to be a worthy successor to the command of Wolf's Dragoons, or as she
likes to call them, Wolfpack.
Name: Captain Brian Cameron
Assignment: Aide to Commander Wolf
Brian is a blood line descendent to William Cameron, founder of the Dragoon honorline of Cameron,
and won the honorname simultaneously with graduation from his sibko. There is a strong physical
similarity between Brian and William, indicating a powerful influence of William's genes on Brian's
phenotype. Like his bloodline father, he served as aide and communications specialist to Jaime
Wolf. Some anecdotes point out the similarity of the two Camerons careers and abilities by having
Jaime Wolf calling Brian by Founder William's name. The physical resemblance is less important than
the abilities that Brian inherited. One need only observe a session in a battle control center to
see that Brian has the same rare combination of gifts that made William Cameron so valuable to
Wolf. Brian is a communications wizard with a gift for filtering out unimportant data.
Lurid tent town tabloids have Brian intimately involved with Maeve Wolf. If true, it would not be
the first time soldiers were involved. It may explain why Brian was transferred from his position
as communications officer on the staff of the Dragoon's field commander on the day that Jaime
became Commander and Maeve was appointed general. Brian is reported happy to still be near the Wolf
but simultaneously disappointed to be away from military affairs.
Name: Major Elson Novacat
Assignment: Commander of the Elemental Strike Cluster, Special Operations Group;
Staff Advisor to Infantry Operations Commander
A warrior of superior skill and undisguised ambition, this freebirth son of a Clan Elemental fought
his way through Clan Nova Cat infantry training to win warrior status and the right to wear a
battle suit. His courage under fire during the first phase of the invasion of the Inner Sphere
earned him adoption in his Clan. He joined the Dragoons as a bondsman following the Nova Cats'
defeat on Luthien. In the Dragoons, Elson's experience fueled his rapid rise to command in the new
Elemental division. Blinded by the prejudice of the Clan-bred against anything not Clan, Elson felt
appalled by what he saw as the betrayal of their Clan heritage by Jaime Wolf and the other Dragoon
veterans. Determined to return the Dragoons to Clan ways, Elson took advantage of the Dragoons
internal tensions and the unexpected death of Wolf's son MacKenzie to engineer a rebellion against
Jaime Wolf. Expecting to die after his attempted revolution failed, Elson gladly accepted Jaime
Wolf's surprising offer of a place in the reunited Dragoons. By besting Elson Novacat, Wolf had
proven himself a worthy warrior and Elson's Clan honor demanded that he submit to his superior.
Name: Colonel Kelly Yukinov
Assignment: Commander of Alpha Regiment
Yukinov's reputation would be outstanding anywhere else, but within the Dragoons, it suffers due to
comparison with Jaime Wolf, one of the greatest military leaders of our time. Some men might be
embittered by such constant belittling of their achievements, but not Yukinov. Wounded several
times in the course of his career he has always bounced back to take firm control of Alpha. A
competent officer with occasional flashes of brilliance, he handles Alpha with the ease of long
practice and, while not as innovative as his predecessor, he is also less vulnerable to being
caught with his pants down while taking a long shot.
Name: Major Kiyomasa Tetsuhara
Assignment: Commander of Baker Battalion, Alpha Regiment
Kiyomasa Tetsuhara is the eldest son of the late Minobu Tetsuhara, fast friend of Jaime Wolf and
the man most responsible for the Dragoons' former blood feud with House Kurita. At the death of
Takashi Kurita, Kiyomasa gathered a group of like minded Kuritan warriors, many of them veterans of
the Ryuken or the offspring of such and sought out Minobu's old aide, Michi Noketsuna, with the
intent of having the old samurai lead them. They were unable to get the tired warrior to accept the
position of leader but, with Jaime Wolf's aid, kept Noketsuna from seppuku. When Noketsuna
consented to accompany Wolf to Outreach, Kiyomasa took it as a sign and convinced his fellow
Kuritans and their families to travel to Outreach as well. Once in orbit, they applied en mass for
acceptance into the Dragoons. Facing understandable suspicion and distrust, the Kuritans encamped
in Harlech and were caught up in the Dragoon civil war. Kiyomasa led the exodus to the Outback and
fought with distinction under Wolf. As a reward, he had been given command of Baker Battalion, a
unit composed mostly of his fellow Kuritan expatriates. Kiyomasa is maturing into a fine commander,
but has shown little tact in dealing with the occasional friction between his troops devotion to
the code of bushido and Dragoon culture.
Name: Colonel Anton Rand
Assignment: Commander of Beta Regiment
Anton Rand took command of beta regiment when the former commander, Neil Parella, disappeared
during the climactic battle of the Dragoon civil war, and presided over the transition back into
the fold. Rand is one of the younger Dragoons, an Inner Sphere adoptee. A strong, aggressive
commander who prefers to lead from the cockpit of his BattleMech, he continually exhorts his troops
to prove that they are indeed "second to none". Rand is a veteran of Luthien where he took
battlefield command of his battalion and repulsed a NovaCat sortie and succeeded in capturing a
number of elementals. Attempts to exploit his Inner Sphere heritage have proven fruitless; Reed is
a whole hearted believer in the Dragoon way.
Name: Colonel Irwin "Lucky T" Tyrell
Assignment: Commander of Gamma Regiment
Nearly killed on Harrow's Sun when his second Mech was shot out from underneath him, Tyrell moved
up in the ranks almost by virtue of simply surviving the murderous battles that devastated the
Dragoons before and during the Fourth Succession War. He fought, and lost another Mech, on Luthien.
Though prone to taking chances in battle, Tyrell has shown a surprising flair for the mundane,
routine business of running a regiment between battles.
Name: Colonel Shelly Brubaker
Assignment: Commander of Delta Regiment
Colonel Brubaker comes from one of the Dragoons' more distinguished lines of Mechwarriors. She is
a tall, slim woman as fast with a quip as with responding to a battle reverse. In keeping with the
mission of Delta Regiment, Brubaker prefers on the spot command and operates out of a fast light
Mech rather than the sort of heavier models most commanders seem to prefer. "Keep it mobile; keep
'em guessing," was her response when asked about her unusual choice in command vehicles.
Name: Colonel Elizabeth Nicole
Assignment: Commander of Epsilon Regiment
The loyalty of Colonel Nicole and her regiment was one of the big question marks of the Dragoon
civil war. Nominally she supported Alpin and Elson, but her actions suggested that she held strong
reservations. Though normally a typically aggressive Dragoon commander, she withheld her troops,
skirmishing and probing when given attack orders. It has been speculated that her lack of
commitment enabled Jaime Wolf's forces to succeed where they would have otherwise failed. Her
retention as Epsilon commander may be due as much to that as to using her as a figurehead leader
from the defeated faction to soothe the transition back to Jaime Wolf's control. Nicole has
recently placed a request for retirement but Wolf Hall has not yet replied.
Name: Colonel J. Elliot Jamison
Assignment: Commander of Zeta Battalion
Strong, dashing and every bit as imposing as the assault Mechs he commands, Colonel Jamison seems
a more stable commander than Zeta's past leaders. He is the first to break a string of deaths in
combat. Loyal, supportive, and usually serious in the extreme, Colonel Jamison is more than the
simple assault Mech leader. After the Dragoons's defeat on Barlow's End, he took over for the
wounded Kelly Yukinov, commanding both Alpha and Zeta while Colonel Wolf scrambled to pull the
Dragoons back together.
Name: Major John Clavell
Assignment: Commander of Wolf Spider Battalion
Gentleman Johnny is one of the original Dragoons and a founding member of the Black Widow Company,
the unit that grew and metamorphosed into Wolf Spider Battalion. Upon promotion to permanent
command of the battalion, Clavell ordered the unit's most recent name change. At the time, he
cited the need to break with certain traditions, a move that he said was in keeping with the
overall reorganization going on in the Dragoons. Facing criticism from several comrades for
abandoning all ties to his former commander, Natasha Kerensky, he made one public reply, saying
"the Lady made her choice when she took ship to return to Clan Wolf. She's Khan now and I'm damn
proud of her, but I'm a Dragoon and Wolfpack has no more ties to the Clan," and has since
remained silent on the subject. It is reported that he cried publicly when the Dropship his
battalion now uses landed on the field at Harlech and he saw the name painted on the side: Widow's
Regards. The JumpShip that brought the DropShip to the system was a Wolf Clan ship.
Name: Colonel Steven Graham
Assignment: Commander of Special Operations Command
Steven Graham previously commanded the Special Recon Group and is no stranger to scouting and
clandestine missions, but this once active soldier has found a desk job harder to manage than a
one-legged scout Mech. His biggest complaint is having to deal with the "cloak-and-dagger
shenanigans" of WolfNet. He finds the reticent manner of WolfNet's current commander particularly
annoying. Graham currently has a request for return to field duty pending on General Wolf's desk.
Name: Major Michi Noketsuna
Assignment: Commander of Intelligence Group (WolfNet)
Michi Noketsuna is a Kuritan ex-patriate and formerly served as an aide to one-time Dragoon liaison
Minobu Tetsuhara. From Tetsuhara, Noketsuna learned the harsh and unforgiving code of bushido, the
way of the samurai. It is his belief in that code that brought him to serve Jaime Wolf. Noketsuna's
varied past has suited him for the job. The man has been everything from a bounty hunter to a
Kuritan Warlord. In between long years of living on the edges of Inner Sphere society has given him
an unmatchable insight to the ways information flows through society. That insight brought him
immediately to the attention of the late Stanford Blake, Wolf's last security chief who had nothing
but praise for the Kuritan's skills. Even though Wolf has retired from the field, Noketsuna serves
on in a job he does not particularly like but performs well, driven by his unyielding
interpretation of the code. He remains an extremely private individual, rarely spending time in
social circumstances.
Name: Major Reva Mabuto
Assignment: Commander of Contract Command
A stunningly beautiful woman, Reva Mabuto could make a fine living as a fashion model, but she has
chosen to make her home with the Dragoons. One of the real "war orphans," Mabuto alleges not to
know the Successor State of her birth, claiming she was reborn the day she was adopted by the
Dragoons. Along with her loyalty, she has given the Dragoons one of her arms. The replacement looks
perfectly normal but the surgery could not restore full function so she was retired from active
duty. Still wishing to serve, she found a role with Contract Operations, rapidly rising through the
ranks. Her appearance has proven to be a great asset in her role as principal contract negotiator
and public relations official for Wolf's Dragoons. Mabuto's battle record as a dashing hovercraft
pilot hasn't hurt either. Although Mechwarriors often deride her for having served in a lesser arm,
she takes the jibes well, usually letting an aide inform the jocks of how many Mechs her platoon
disposed of.
Name: Natasha Kerensky (deceased)
Assignment: former Commander of Black Widow Battalion
Among the few trueborn Clan warriors who accompanied Jaime and Joshua Wolf into the Inner Sphere
was an able and unconventional MechWarrior named Natasha Kerensky - the so-called Black Widow.
Genetically descended from Aleksandr Kerensky, Natasha was a beautiful but deadly warrior who
exuded an air of mystique and seemed to beat any odds - a knack that earned her the nickname First
Lady of Death. For more than fifty years, her daring battlefield exploits fueled countless
vendettas, legends, holo - adventures and adolescent fantasies. Her Black Widow Company, founded
during the Marik Civil War and which grew later into the Black Widow Battalion, became the most
feared unit in the Inner Sphere.
In late 3050, when the Clans issued their call for the Bloodnamed to return to Clan space, Natasha
Kerensky left the Inner Sphere. Cutting a swath through Clan politics and several Trials of
Position, Natasha took her place as Khan of Wolf Clan and then promptly returned to the Inner
Sphere, where she fought valiantly on Tukayyid. During Clan Wolf's epic campaign against Clan Jade
Falcon five years later, she was as merciless as ever on the battlefield. The Black Widow cut apart
unit after Falcon unit, driving herself to the edge of her abilities and shattering the once-mighty
Jade Falcons in an effort to uphold the Truce of Tukayyid and spare the Inner Sphere a renewed Clan
invasion. Natasha Kerensky died in battle on December 7, 3057.
Name: Colonel Travis King (deceased)
Assignment: Former Commander of Delta Regiment
Easygoing and personable with his troops and skillful on the battlefield, Colonel King was a very
popular commander. Colonel King enjoyed success with a methodical, by-the-book approach to combat.
Though he rarely surprised an enemy, he ground many into submission and protected his unit with
prudent decisions. This approach worked right up until the end. In the assault on the Liao world of
Halloran V in 3008, Wolf's Dragoons had trouble making haeadway. Despite being turned back four
times, Colonel King led a fifth assault on Liao positions. Delta Regiment was again forced to
retreat, but this time Capellan AeroSpace Fighters hounded the Dragoons. A freak shot from a Liao
fighter set off the ammo in Colonel King's Archer, killing him instantly.
Name: Colonel Hamilton Atwyl
Assignment: Commander of Outreach Command
Colonel Atwyl started his career in the Blue Flight group of Wolf's Dragoons. Until now he holds
the "title" of the highest-scoring fighter pilot in the Dragoons' ranks. Particularly fond of
combat with BattleMechs he often engaged targets on the ground. His one-to-one duel with a Davion
Rifleman on Quentin in an example of this combat. Too old for active combat duty, Colonel Atwyl is
now assigned Commander of Outreach Command.
