:-''From'' The Remembrance (Clan Wolf-in-Exile) Passage 411, Verse 16, Lines 1-4{{cn}}
'''Clan Wolf-in-Exile''' is a splinter faction of the original [[Clan Wolf]], one of the twenty [[Clans]] created by [[Nicholas Kerensky]]. Born from the destruction of the original Clan Wolf in the [[Refusal War]] of [[3057]], the Wolves-in-Exile continued to uphold the [[Warden]] traditions of their forebears under the leadership of [[Khan]] [[Phelan Kell]] by siding with the [[Inner Sphere]]. Establishing a new home on [[Arc-Royal]], the Exiles maintained their claim to the Wolf name and upheld their interpretation of the Clan way of life despite being [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] by the other Clans and considered bandits by most. 

Throughout the latter half of the thirty-first century and into the [[Dark Age Era|Dark Age]] era, the Exiled Wolves carried out their mandate to protect the Inner Sphere primarily by defending their adopted home in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] from aggressors such as [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and the [[Word of Blake]]. In the 3140s ongoing warfare against the Falcons under [[Malvina Hazen]] left the Exiles homeless and reduced to a fraction of their former strength, prompting them to reunite with their former brethren in Clan Wolf after the [[ilClan Trial]] of [[3151]].

== History ==
=== The Refusal War ===
The groundwork for the survival of Clan Wolf was laid by [[ilKhan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]] years prior to the Refusal War when he sent portions of various ''[[sibko]]s'' from the Clan Homeworlds to the Inner Sphere.<ref name=FMWC155>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 155</ref>  On the eve of the war itself the ilKhan held council with the two Wolf Khans, Khan [[Natasha Kerensky]] and saKhan Phelan Ward, where he revealed his plan.  In order to ensure the continuity of Clan Wolf, Phelan was ordered to take a majority of the Clan's Warden faction, along with genetic legacies and a third of the Clan's equipment, and find a safe haven in the Inner Sphere.  Meanwhile Ulric and Natasha would lead the rest of their forces against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and attempt a twofold victory: first by destroying the one [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] Clan strong enough and best positioned to continue the Clan invasion, second by destroying those Crusader elements within Clan Wolf itself which sought to break the [[Truce of Tukayyid]].  If in the course of the war Clan Wolf was destroyed, Phelan and the survivors were to rebuild the Clan and uphold its traditions.<ref name=F&W14>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 14</ref><ref name=FMWC153>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 153</ref>

Phelan at first objected to this plan, wishing to stand beside Ulric and Natasha, but finally relented.  His forces would take part in early battles to give the impression that all of Clan Wolf was taking part in the Trial before making their way to [[Arc-Royal]], homeworld of the [[Kell Hounds]] and Phelan's family.<ref name=F&W14/>  On the eve of the Trial, by the authority of his office Ulric commissioned the creation of a new [[Bloodname]], Kell, and in a postdated message bestowed it upon Phelan.  Armed with a Bloodname which could not be stripped through Abjuration, saKhan Phelan Kell and the rest of his forces were given a final charge, to stand beside the Inner Sphere and protect it from any further Clan aggression.<ref name=FMWC153/>

Phelan Kell and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]] performed the first part of the deception by attacking Jade Falcon forces garrisoning [[Sudeten]] on 27 September [[3057]].  After an impressive victory which netted over a hundred Falcon 'Mechs captured and returning to the Wolf fleet, he tried one last time to convince Natasha to include his forces in further combats and was again denied.  On 5 October Phelan Kell and the Warden Wolves began their trek towards Arc-Royal, carrying the complete genetic heritage of Clan Wolf aboard Phelan's flagship [[Werewolf (Individual McKenna-class WarShip)|''Werewolf'']].<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 18–20</ref>  They followed the same path as Natasha's forces, traveling to [[Baker 3]] before diverting to [[Graus]] and then [[Morges]].<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 13</ref>

On Morges the Wolves regrouped with the Kell Hounds, however hot on their heels were the Jade Falcons.  [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omicron]] and [[Peregrine Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Peregrine Galaxies]] arrived in the system on 5 December hoping to wipe out the last functioning remnants of Clan Wolf.  They brought news with them of the death of both Natasha and Ulric, but rather than demoralize the Wolves it only inspired them to honor their memory.  On 13 December the Jade Falcons made planetfall with their entire force and the battle would rage across the snowy planet until 25 December, when the last Jade Falcon unit was destroyed and the Refusal War ended.<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 36–41</ref>

=== Reformation ===
Although both Clans were nearly destroyed in the Refusal War, in the end the Jade Falcons claimed victory.  However in a bold power-grabbing move the Jade Falcon saKhan, [[Vandervahn Chistu]] declared that the conflict had actually been a [[Trial of Absorption]] and all surviving Wolf Clan assets were the property of the Jade Falcons.  Furthermore saKhan Chistu initiated a [[Ritual of Abjuration]] which declared all Wolves who had joined with Phelan Kell to be exiled from Clan society.  Before he could finalize these claims in front of the [[Grand Council]] however Chistu was challenged by [[Star Captain]] [[Vlad Ward|Vlad]] to a Trial of Refusal and killed.  As part of the deal struck between the two warriors Khan [[Elias Crichell]] agreed to grant Vlad the Ward [[Bloodright]] and partially renounce the Absorption, allowing for the creation of [[Clan Jade Wolf]].  However the Abjuration of Phelan Kell's Wolves remained in place.<ref name=FW42>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 42</ref>

Khan Phelan Kell entered into negotiations with his Inner Sphere family for the right to settle his exiled Wolves on an abandoned continent on Arc-Royal, from where the Clan would begin the difficult task of rebuilding their society.  With no ability to manufacture spare parts and a small pool of manpower to draw from, the Wolves-in-Exile faced many difficulties in replacing their Refusal War losses.  Some relief came in the form of Refusal War stragglers, including some units in whole, who chose to join Khan Kell in the Inner Sphere.  The sheer amount of supplies brought aboard the ''[[Full Moon]]'' in combination with salvage provided by the Kell Hounds meant that the Exiles' frontline forces were able to maintain an all-[[OmniMech]] inventory, with certain Inner Sphere designs being used by garrison forces. Although the late Khan Kerensky had sent ''sibkos'' in advance to the Inner Sphere, it wouldn't be until early 3060s that the program could start providing replacements and only until the mid-3070s that it could be considered fully viable.  In the meantime [[freeborn]] warriors would be used to make up any losses due to attrition.<ref name=FMWC155/>

Perhaps the greatest challenge faced by the Exiles was in their relationship with both the Inner Sphere and the Clans.  Among the Kell Hounds, the Clan was seen as a valuable ally in protecting the newly formed [[Arc-Royal Defense Cordon]], however others within the Inner Sphere treated them with suspicion and worse.  Furthermore their status as exiles from Clan society meant they would be viewed as traitors by many within the Clans and treated little more than as bandits.  For their part many within Clan Wolf-in-Exile saw the prospect of a new life in the Inner Sphere as both exhilarating and troubling.  The former emotion was more common among the lower caste members, especially for the chance to live in a society which treated them as true equals, than among the warriors who had been bred to believe in their inherent superiority.  Most however agreed it was their duty to fulfill their former Khan's wish to protect the Inner Sphere until it could rebuild the [[Star League]] on its own terms.<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 43</ref>

By the middle of [[3058]], the Wolves-in-Exile were able to start assisting with the defense of the ARDC.  During the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|first Jade Falcon Incursion]] Khan Kell gave aid to [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] by loaning him [[Ragnar Magnusson]], the former heir apparent of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]].  Using Ragnar's knowledge of Clan customs the leader of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] was able to break the stalemate during the Battle of Coventry and allow the Jade Falcons to withdraw with honor.  Elsewhere units of the Exiles' ''[[touman]]'' traveled alongside the Kell Hounds on tours of the ARDC and repel other, more minor Jade Falcon attacks.  Since every piece of their technology was still irreplaceable at this point the Wolves-in-Exile took the art of bidding to new heights in these engagements in order to preserve their strength.<ref name=FMWC153/>

=== Annihilation of the Smoke Jaguars ===
On 3 October 3058 the leaders of the Inner Sphere convened on [[Tharkad]] to formally discuss the matter of uniting into a [[Second Star League]] to confront the Clan threat.  Khan Phelan Kell was among them in an advisory role and helped craft the strategy which would stop the invasion permanently: the complete destruction of one of the most powerful [[Crusader Clans]], [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].  Part of this strategy, codenamed [[Operation BULLDOG]], would involve the reconquest of the Smoke Jaguars' [[Occupation Zone]] in territory formerly held by the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 5, 8</ref><ref name=FMWC154>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 154</ref>

Adding to the forces which would liberate these worlds were five [[Cluster]]s from the Wolves-in-Exile, at the time constituting nearly half of the Clan's ''touman''.<ref name=FMWC154/>  On 13 May [[3059]] the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|4th Wolf Guards]], [[1st Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|1st Wolf Legion]] and [[1st Wolf Strike Grenadiers (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|1st Wolf Strike Grenadiers]] were stationed on [[Wolcott]] with the [[2nd Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|2nd Wolf Legion]] on [[Pesht]] and the [[2nd Wolf Strike Grenadiers (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|2nd Wolf Strike Grenadiers]] on [[Tanh Linh]].  With only the 2nd Grenadiers moving during the First Wave, shifting to garrison [[Kanowit]], it wasn't until the Second Wave that the three Wolcott Clusters were committed in the attack on [[Labrea]] and captured the [[6th Jaguar Dragoons]].  The 2nd Grenadiers moved again during the Second Wave to garrison [[Yamarovka]] while during the Smoke Jaguar counterattack the 2nd Legion defended Pesht against [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Delta Galaxy]].<ref name=TDR112>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 11–12</ref>

The Third Wave involved the 4th Wolf Guards liberating [[Schuyler]] and the 1st Wolf Legion liberating [[Bangor]].<ref name=TDR112/>  It was after this wave that Victor Steiner-Davion, overall commander of the operation, left with a task force to assist the second part of the plan, [[Operation SERPENT]].  Khan Phelan Kell was given overall command of those forces which stayed to finish off those Smoke Jaguar forces still in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=FMWC154/><ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 64</ref>  The final Fourth Wave would involve the 4th Wolf Guards, 1st Wolf Legion and 1st Wolf Grenadiers in the liberation of [[Savinsville]], [[Jeronimo]] and [[Albiero]] respectively.<ref name=TDR112/>  It would not be for some time before word finally reached the Exiled Wolves of the success of Task Force Serpent and the [[Great Refusal]] in finally destroying the Smoke Jaguars and bringing about a more permanent peace.

=== FedCom Civil War ===
Clan Wolf-in-Exile returned to the task of rebuilding their society in the Inner Sphere after the destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar.  The scientific exchange and trade agreements between the Clan and the Kell Hounds paid off in [[3060]] with the unveiling of a new OmniMech, the ''[[Arctic Fox (OmniMech)|Arctic Fox]]'', which began to be fielded by garrison forces.  Towards the end of that year Khan Kell and the 4th Wolf Guards traveled to [[Utrecht]] to challenge [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in a [[Trial of Possession]] for the contents of one of their ArcShips.  Despite the Exiles' status as renegades the Ghost Bears accepted the challenge and granted them ''[[safcon]]'' to the battlefield.  During the Trial [[Star Colonel]] [[Ranna Kerensky]] led the 4th Wolf Guards to victory against Star Colonel [[Sarah DelVillar]]'s [[3rd Bear Guards (Clan Ghost Bear)|3rd Bear Guards]], but at a price.  While the badly needed supplies were won, Star Captain Ragnar and his Trinary fell during heavy fighting with the Sarah DelVillar's Command Trinary and the former Rasalhagian prince was taken as a [[bondsman]] by the Ghost Bears.<ref name=FMWC154/><ref name=FMWC155/>

Unfortunately despite all their gains the Wolves-in-Exile were quickly finding themselves caught between a rock and a hard place, with the Jade Falcons on one side of the ARDC and [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s antagonistic [[Lyran Alliance]] on the other.  The siege mentality this created combined with the still prevalent sense of Clan superiority led to fraying tempers and a lack of effective coordination during combined maneuvers.  By [[3064]] only the sense that the Exiles were sure to take part in the coming civil war and so bring about closer relations with the Lyrans served to focus their attention.  Instead it was the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)|second Jade Falcon Incursion]] which spurred the Clan to action.  Fighting alongside other Inner Sphere units in repelling the attack, Clan Wolf-in-Exile took part in a number of battles, including the final one on [[Blair Atholl]] in February [[3065]] which helped secure a new ceasefire.<ref name=FMU68>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 68</ref>

When they returned to Arc-Royal, the Wolves learned from [[Morgan Kell]], Grand Duke of the Lyran Alliance, that they were being called upon to help [[Peter Steiner-Davion]] take [[Tharkad]] from his mad sister.  On 24 August [[3066]] Wolf-in-Exile [[WarShips]] took part in the orbital battle for Tharkad and were instrumental in subduing the ''[[Yggdrasil (Individual Mjolnir-class WarShip)|Yggdrasil]]''.  During the ground campaign the Wolves fought alongside their Lyran allies for every bloody meter and were pivotal in opening the way to Tharkad City before final victory in April [[3067]].  In thanks for their help in securing his throne, Clan Wolf-in-Exile were recognized by Peter Steiner-Davion as a sovereign entity and most favored ally of the Lyran Alliance.  Khan Phelan Kell bent the knee and renewed his Clan's vow to come to the Inner Sphere's, and the Lyran Alliance's, defense.<ref name=FMU68/>

=== Jihad ===
Following the [[Word of Blake]] attack on [[Wolf's Dragoons]] on [[Outreach]] in October 3067, the subsequent orbital and nuclear bombardment of the planet and the forced retreat of the surviving elements of the Dragoons and their allies, Clan Wolf-in-Exile launched a mission to rescue elements of the Dragoons believed to still be alive. The task force launched on the 20th of March [[3068]], and would defy heavy Word of Blake resistance to successfully recover scores of civilians and more than two dozen Dragoons.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Clan Wolf-in-Exile supported the allied coalition assembled by [[Devlin Stone]] during the [[Jihad]]. This support would cost the Wolves; in one instance faulty intelligence on the [[Chara]] system resulted in the Wolf forces tasked with liberating the Word-controlled system in September [[3077]] being savaged at the hands of the defending Blakists, while three allied [[WarShip]]s were lost to the system's active [[SDS]] network.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>

=== Dark Age ===
As [[Clan Wolf]] moved out of their occupation zone, the Exiled Wolves sent several liaison officers to coordinate with the Wolves.<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', ch. 7</ref> They also coordinated efforts between the Wolves and the [[LCAF]].<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', ch. 5</ref> The Wolves' formation of the [[Wolf Empire]] took them completely by surprise, however.<ref name=BWch15/>

In [[3143]] Clan Wolf-in-Exile was heavily involved in the fighting to stop [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. As a result, they were heavily damaged.<ref name=BWch15>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', ch. 15</ref>

=== Fall of Arc-Royal ===
On 5 September [[3146]] the Falcons, personally led by [[Malvina Hazen]], launched a renewed attack on Arc-Royal. Arc-Royal's defenses initially held, until the Falcon Khan dispatched a unit of [[Elementals]] to attack the Wolf-in-Exile facilities for training ''sibkos'' and gestating new warriors. The Falcons killed everyone they found, regardless of age or affiliation. Though the Elemental unit was eventually eliminated, five entire ''sibkos'' had been wiped out.

Infuriated, Khan [[Patrik Fetladral]] challenged Hazen to single combat three days later. Seeing no reason to honor the challenge from an Abjured Clan warrior, Hazen responded by ordering her command Star to focus all fire on the Elemental. Rather than seek revenge, saKhan [[Miriam Shaw]] ordered the [[1st Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|First Wolf Legion Cluster]] to buy time for the Clan to evacuate its remaining personnel and assets to [[Donegal]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 26</ref>

After this defeat, Khan [[Alaric Ward]] of the new [[Wolf Empire]] offered an amnesty to the Exiles and asked them to join the main Wolf Clan again, but very few Exiles accepted the offer.<ref name=SFp27>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 27</ref>

Yet despite their losses the Wolf Exiles were still combat effective. In [[3148]] their forces launched a counterattack against the Falcons' territory, reconquering the planets [[Upano]] and [[Incukalns]]. For unknown reasons, the Wolves ordered the Commonwealth to garrison the planets before they departed from both for a destination unknown.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 51</ref>

===Reunification===
The reason for the Exiles' departure from Upano and Incukalns remained a mystery until months later. In fact, the recovery of both worlds was like a parting gift for the Alliance: sometime before, a Clan Wolf delegation led by [[Anastasia Kerensky]] had convinced the Exiles to cooperate with the main body of the Wolf Clan, helping them defeat the Jade Falcons in the [[ilClan Trial|Battle for Terra]], rejoining Clan Wolf. Galaxy Commander Miriam Shaw commanded the exiled Wolves, designated as Clan Wolf's Omega Provisional Galaxy.<ref>''IlClan'', p. 99: "Omega Provisional Galaxy"</ref> Joined by [[Wolf's Dragoons]], Anastasia's forces, reinforced by [[Wolf's Dragoons]], formed the ''Athena'' taskforce, which landed on Terra, but keep hidden until the third and last day of the Trial. After landing, they engaged at the critical moment in the battle, charging against the Falcons' flanks, crushing them.<ref>''Hour of the Wolf'', p. 330</ref>

On April 27, [[3151]], following the Wolf victory for ilClanship, sixty percent of the Wolf Clan Council voted to allow the Exiles to rejoin Clan Wolf.<ref name=iCp114-115>''IlClan'', pp. 114‒115: "Reuniting the Pack"</ref> As stated by Chance, most equipment and personnel from the Exiled Wolves went to the Wolf Empire, confirming their return to the Wolf fold, becoming the Wolves' new [[Omega Provisional Galaxy (Wolf Empire)|Omega Galaxy]].<ref>''Hour of the Wolf'', p. 569</ref> 
As of March 15, 3151, DropShips ferrying the Wolf-in-Exile lower castes were sighted in the [[Furillo]] system en route from Donegal to [[Wolf Empire]] space for repatriation. The Lyrans didn't make any moves to stop them.<ref>''IlClan'', p. 113: Lower Castes Sighted</ref>

== Culture ==
Clan Wolf-in-Exile maintains many of the same traditions as the original Clan Wolf.  This includes a more open and egalitarian version of Clan society, strong intercaste relations and a lack of rigid formality.  Their interaction with the other Clans, and with the reborn Clan Wolf, in particular, are more strained.  Although more than willing to observe the formal Clan traditions, including issuing ''[[batchall]]s'' and taking [[bondsmen]], since they are technically enemies of the Grand Council many of the other Clans regard the Exiles as bandits and treat them as such in any dealings.

By 3085, the Exiles' culture had come to incorporate elements of their Lyran hosts. The typical Exiled Wolf of the time spoke German as a second language and had at least a passing familiarity with how to navigate Lyran bureaucracy.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 235 - Inner Sphere Clan Sub-Affiliations.</ref> 

In the Dark Age, both halves of the Wolves would show a sign of cooperation together in hopes of reunification. When Clan Wolf formed the Wolf Empire, they attempted reconciliation by allowing some exiles to [[Trial of Absorption|"come home"]] to Clan Wolf as an alternative to destruction. Those who chose this option were welcomed back, while those who stayed would be shown no honor.<ref name=SFp27/> Despite this warning that those who refused to rejoin the Wolf Clan before the ilClan would not be shown honor, the Wolf Clan Council voted to allow the Exiles to rejoin in 3151.<ref name=iCp114-115/>

== Military ==
{{main|Clan Wolf-in-Exile Touman}}
When Clan Wolf-in-Exile first arrived on Arc-Royal, it was with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Alpha Galaxy]] and the [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Omega Provisional Garrison Galaxy]].  The [[13th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|13th Wolf Guards]] had been transferred to Beta Galaxy, so in their place Alpha Galaxy's Golden Keshik had been increased to Cluster size and the [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|16th Battle Cluster]] had been transferred to Phelan Kell's control.  After the Refusal War, the 13th Wolf Guards managed to escape Wotan and regroup with the Exiles.  They were joined at the same time by the Warden survivors of the [[37th Striker (Clan Wolf)|37th Striker]], [[352nd Assault (Clan Wolf)|352nd Assault]] and [[341st Assault (Clan Wolf)|341st Assault Clusters]]; all three were later used to rebuild the 37th back to full strength.  Finally a few months later what was left of the [[Bronze Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Bronze Keshik]] with a few survivors from Gamma Galaxy arrived and were used to bring Alpha Galaxy back to full strength.  The [[Sixth Jaguar Dragoons]], captured nearly intact, added significant strength to the Wolf-in-Exile ''touman''.<ref name=FMWC154/><ref name=FMWC155/>

== Bloodnames ==
The issue of [[Bloodname]]s is somewhat complicated by the fact that both the Exiles and the "reborn" Wolf Clan contain complete copies of the same genetic legacies and neither has been willing to give up any Bloodnames they won prior to the schism (the exception being Khan Phelan himself, who accepted the Abjuration of his Ward Bloodname to take the one granted him by ilKhan Ulric).  Thus there has been a split in the Bloodrights between the Wardens and Crusaders, although the Exiled Wolves have been willing to only arrange Trials for only those they took into exile.  This has meant that the Conners and Leroux Bloodnames have "died out" in Clan Wolf-in-Exile since none of the warriors or ''sibkos'' with that name joined Khan Phelan in exile.<ref name=FMWC154/><ref name=CWK/>

==Inter-Clan Relations==
===Post-Refusal===
Given the Exiles' status as bandits, most Clans deal with them as they would any other ''[[dezgra]]'' foe. However, some Clans ([[Clan Diamond Shark]], [[Clan Coyote]], Clan Ghost Bear, and [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]]) maintain covert ties with the Wolves-in-Exile. The Coyotes and Goliath Scorpions, however, would cease relations following the Wars of Reaving.

Clan Wolf-in-Exile's dealings with their Inner Sphere compatriots has also been strained.  Although accepted immediately by the Kell Hounds, others within the Inner Sphere were less willing to forget their former status as conquerors. The Clan's willingness to defend the Inner Sphere against the other Clans, including participation in Operation Bulldog, and its quickness in rebuilding an advanced Clan infrastructure on their adoptive home planet, did help change the minds of some towards the Exiles.  Significant trouble came from Rasalhagian expatriates, especially since the Clan claimed their Prince as a bondsman, although that matter was somewhat settled when Ragnar was taken in turn by the Ghost Bears.<ref name=CWK/><ref name=FMWC155/>

|Despite the Crusader half's orders not to speak with their traitorous brethren in the Inner Sphere, some were reluctant to open dialogue with the exiles as a possible sign of reunification, which the exiles welcomed in turn. Perhaps surprisingly, unofficial channels were maintained between the two Wolf Clans, possibly as a potential first step in eventual rapprochement.<ref name=CWK>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', pp. 97–98</ref> These channels would prove to be beneficial for both parties during the Dark Age Era, in which they would cooperate more openly with their Crusader brethren after the creation of the Wolf Empire. During the end of the Dark Ages, the Exiled Wolves would later reconcile with their erstwhile brethren after various attempts were made to contact them. This would result in the Warden Wolves joining their brothers against Clan Jade Falcon during the [[ilClan Trial]]. The exiles would give all of their remaining personnel and equipment to their parent Clan, reunifying with the Wolves after their victory on Terra.

Following the Wars of Reaving and the creation of the Council of Six, both Home and Spheroid Clans have severed their ties with the Exiles, leaving them with only the Nova Cats as their allies. Following Clan Nova Cat's destruction during the Dark Ages, the Warden Wolves stand largely alone.

|Ever since their inception, Clan Jade Falcon has always held contempt and jealousy toward Clan Wolf. The Falcons would finally succeed in dividing the mighty Clan during the Refusal War by killing Ulrich and Natasha Kerensky and absorbing their Crusader elements to form Clan Jade Wolf (now the reborn). Although Clan Jade Falcon has found an ally with the Crusader Wolves, they hold the Warden exiles who fled into the Inner Sphere with the same contempt as the original Clan Wolf.
