Emilio Houan was saKhan of Clan Stone Lion from 3075 to at least 3085[1]

History[edit]

He was the commanding officer of the 201st Mechanized Assault from the Clan Hell's Horses touman in 3059,[2] but by 3067 he was commanding the 31st BattleMech Cluster and had moved to Strato Domingo.[3]

As such, he was one of the Clan Hell's Horses warriors that never went to the Inner Sphere. On the 30th of April of 3075, the Grand Council met during the so-called Wars of Reaving. IlKhan Brett Andrews pointed out that there was still a tainted Clan among them, the Hell's Horses. Hell's Horses Galaxy Commander Magnus DelVillar stood in place of his Khans and Loremaster, refuting this charge. Andrews presented evidence of the Hell's Horses dealings with the Exiled Wolves, and in turn, the Kell Hounds mercenary band. DelVillar's only reply was to point out that the Hell's Horses in the Homeworlds had never even been to the Inner Sphere. The ilKhan then changed his tack, calling for the Abjuration of all Hell's Horses currently in the Inner Sphere, a vote that passed the council by a slim majority. A Trial of Refusal was fought against Clan Star Adder, who accepted all of the Hell's Horses' assets in the Homeworlds after their victory. But in a surprise twist, Khan N'Buta declared the existence of a new Clan, called Clan Stone Lion, bequeathing them with the former Horse assets and legacies left behind and DelVillar as Khan.[4]

After that, Houan was kept as commanding officer of the now renamed 31st Iron Guards and became part of that Clan's Zeta Galaxy,[4] however by 3085 Psi Galaxy had been created and the Cluster was transferred to it.[5]

Houan was elevated shortly after that to saKhan, and took command of the newly raised Psi Galaxy. In 3087 saKhan Houan led elements of Psi Galaxy in a major Trial of Possession on Dagda against Clan Star Adder gaining an enclave on that world.[6]
