But he deeply felt that Mongoose Khans were largely incapable of properly leading the new generations of Mongoose warriors, and instead misused their Clan's true talent until it was too late.<ref name=ED:GCp11,12/><ref name=ED:GCp12>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 12 - "Beginning of the End"</ref> Mercedes would also write of why the Mongoose Khans had always used politics so prolifically.
