In February of [[3068]], Khan Cobb began the process of his Clan's invasion and resettlement to the Inner Sphere. He negotiated with [[Clan Diamond Shark]] where they would deliver supplies and equipment to stock up the periphery world of [[Nouveaux Paris]] as their staging world.  It would not be until April 3070, when the last of Clan Hell's Horses' convoys of its people departed the Kerensky Cluster and Clan space entirely. Cobb laid claim to former [[Clan Ghost Bear]] warrior [[Jake Kabrinski]], whom his Watch had captured in an intelligence raid.  He became Kabrinski's ''bondmaster'' and converted him from Bear to Horse. He then used the highly prized warrior as his emissary to the Bears to reassure them that his Horses no longer had a conflict with them anymore.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', Jake Kabrinski - Khan Cobb takes rein of Jake Kabrinski and uses him to broker peace between the now Warden Horses and his former Clansmen</ref>
