'''Biccon Winters''' was the [[Oathmaster of Clan Nova Cat]] during Operation Revival. 


==REVIVAL==
Oathmaster during the [[Clan_Invasion|Revival]] Trials, the visions of Biccon Winters predicted failure for the Invading Clans.  When the Khans sought her guidance, she saw wolf, cat, falcon, and bear moving effortlessly across space, leaving a white mist in their wake. As other Clan emblems joined, the mist became thick and began to envelop Kerensky's children.  The Khans asked if the Nova Cats were one of the Clans that raced across the Inner Sphere, and while the Oathmaster said they were, she tried to impart to the Khans that it was the annihilation of the Clan force she saw. The Khans ignored her warnings and began establishing supply lines with the merchant caste, buoyed that the Oathmaster supported their plans.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 109''</ref>

Oathmaster Winters accompanied the Nova Cat Khans and their allowed [[NovaStar_Keshik_(Clan_Nova_Cat)|Trinary]] on the long trek to the Inner Sphere. The Wolf attack on [[Drask's Den]] gave the Nova Cats an opportunity to add to their [[Clan_Nova_Cat#Chronicle_of_Battles|Chronicle of Battles]] and during, Oathmaster Winters again warned the warriors of the Nova Cat Keshik that they were in danger.  The warriors again ignored her, celebrating that they would soon take their rightful place with the other Invaders.  When Khan [[Ulric Kerensky]] warned the other Clans that the Inner Sphere level of technology was not as low as most of the Periphery forces they had faced, only the Nova Cat Khans heard the echoes from the Oathmaster.

When Precentor Martial [[Anastasius Focht]] joined the Clan leadership aboard the flagship [[Dire_Wolf_(Individual_Sovetskii_Soyuz-class_WarShip)|Dire Wolf]] at the end of the [[Clan_Invasion#Periphery_Action|Periphery campaign]], Oathmaster Winters suddenly attacked him. Knocking him down and holding the ComStar martial leader with her foot, she shouted that he was the white mist that would destroy them. Unable to be calmed, two [[Elementals]] had to remove her and escort her to her quarters, and she challenged saKhan [[Lucian Carns]] to a Trial of Grievance for acting as the Precentor Martial's honor guard. With a loss, she was forced to accept the presence of the ComStar commander, however unhappily. <ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 110''</ref>

==Post-Great Refusal==
In early 3062, the Oathmaster made her intention to retire clear to the Khans.<ref>''Field Manual: Comstar'', p. 104''</ref> Post-Homecoming, she increasingly supported Minoru Novacat, previously [[Minoru_Nova_Cat|Minoru Kurita]], in his rise to Oathmaster. Following Khan [[Santin West]] taking Minoru as a bondsman and his adoption into the Clan, she believed his mystical abilities gave the Nova Cats the ability to see through the uncertainty that plagued their integration into the Inner Sphere. Biccon Winters was expected to take on a new role for the Khan, but her record becomes sparse following her stepping down.<ref>''Field Manual: Comstar'', p. 115''</ref>

==Quotes==
{{Quote|“I saw the cat attacking by the hundreds, flanked only by the bear, the wolf, the jaguar, the falcon, and the shark. Our enemy still stood divided and had not yet fallen - I knew that we would earn glory early in the war. I saw a burning rain of fire that struck from the sky in wanton destruction of people and resources - I knew our enemy would stand fast against the Clans. I saw a black cloud threatening the cat - I knew an older enemy than the Inner Sphere sought to overwhelm us."
