The Clave was a misterious secret which operated in the Periphery nearby the Inner Sphere.
Contents
Organization
The Clave was said to be led by The Elders, which implies their older people. Some of their members' missions are to pay penance for some unknown sins or mistakes. The warriors, or maybe all their members, describe themselves as The Shield of Man. The warriors are sent to missions of forage, or pilgrimages, for if they find violence, though it wasn't expected, at least in theory. They had to keep to themselves, to never expose the Pact, but also become the Shield of the Clave, if needed.[1]
Traditions
The Clave and his members were clearly a traditional people, which follow an enigmatic set of rules, which they called The Pact. One of these rules was than their members, when in a mission, had to avoid to entangle in local affairs. If they did so -and it is implied than attract unwanted attention- they had to leave the place soon. Their warriors appear to have to fight in something they called the Circles, probably some class of rite of passage, to master their fears. The Warriors swore an oath to protect the innocents, and also always bury the dead, even former Rim worlders. They consider all life, even bandit ones, precious, and refused to kill unless there are no alternatives.[2]
History
Some members of the Clave say to have faced stern enemies in their past. About 3146, the Clave sent two of their warriors to the Periphery world of Dichell, Halloran Hallis and Ansel, to redeme themselves searching for salvage of BattleMechs from old Amaris Coup battles, which the Clave needed. Two years later, they were forced to fight against a pirate gang which attacked the planet, and had to leave the planet as soon as their people came to search them.[3]
Clan Connection
There are several things which points to a direct connection of the Clave with The Clans; first of all, their members called Alexander Kerensky, the Great Father, something only the Clanners do. Their Shield members were master warriors, to a level compatible with the Clan trueborns. They saw themselves as the offspring of betrayal, which coincides with the Clan Wolverine's betrayal by all other Clans. Their warriors often answer to a question with negative or affirmative, which reminds the Clans' quiaff or quineg. And lastly, the last name of one of his members, Halloran Hallis, points directly to a relation with Clan Wolverine, as Hallis Bloodhouse was one of their most important lineages.[4]
