Born to follow the Clan Hell's Horses' method of battle, Fulk grew to appreciate all roles of combat and how to effectively use them in battle.  This was evident when he was able to pass his [[Trial of Position]] with the rank of [[Star Captain]] and was assigned to the [[Fire Horse Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Fire Horse Galaxy]]. There he gained the attention of [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Tristan Fletcher]] who made Fulk his aide.<ref name=ER3145/>

Achieving renown as a particularly aggressive warrior, he destroyed his foes in space, atmosphere and on the ground, both outthinking and outfighting his enemies, utilizing tactical deception to trick his foes into making a fatal error, but also proved able to adopt new ways when they proved successful and change tactics after realizing his mistakes.
 
 
Lassenerra's view of his beliefs was thrown out of alignment when he followed his Galaxy Commander who was on a mission to challenge [[Malvina Hazen]] for the [[Mongol Doctrine]]. When he witnessed Tristan brutally killed in the trial, he felt that everything that he was taught was wrong. Under the command of new Galaxy Commander [[Manas Amirault]], Lassenerra finally was able to flesh out his philosophy and believed that Malvina was interpreting the war doctrine correctly while his entire Clan was doing it wrong.<ref name=ER3145/>

During Malvina's invasion of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], Lassenerra experienced his second change of heart about the Mongol Doctrine. Being a loyal follower since the beginning, it was after the [[Battle of Timkovichi (3142)]] where [[Clan Jade Falcon]] [[WarShips]] used orbital bombardment on the defenders. This attack opened his eyes to Malvina's madness; when the position of saKhan opened up due to [[Jeronimo Cobb]] dying in battle on [[Hesperus]], Lassenerra was elected to the post to give a voice to those Horses warriors opposed to the alliance. From that point onward Lassenerra along with [[Khan]] [[Gottfried Amirault]], which had nominated him to SaKhan, quickly began to distance their Clan from the Falcons.<ref name=ER3145/>

Lassenerra emphasized this new stance two years later with [[Operation NOYAN]], his show of independence from both the alliance and the Falcons' 'perversion' of the Mongol Doctrine. Striking at both the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] and Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, Clan Hell's Horses attacked six worlds using the swarm tactics of the Mongol Doctrine in its 'untainted' original form. With the successful conquest of five of the target worlds, Lassenerra's twin objectives were fulfilled.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 44, "The Silence of the Clans"</ref>
 
 
 
The 23 September, Fulk had a private meeting with the ''ristar'' Star Captain [[Peter Cobb]], which was the protégé of Loremaster [[Sachiko Ravenwater]]. Fulk, considering Cobb a threat to his position, had been making his subordinates to declares trials against him, expecting to wound or kill him, but in vain. In the meeting he attempted to recruit Cobb for his cause, but the Star Captain rejected his proposal, so Lassanerra made another of his warrior to fight Cobb three days later, but once again, it was defeated.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 11-12</ref>
 
 
 
the 2 October, Fulk's subordinate, [[Patricia DeLaurel]], informed him of Cobb's recovery and his increased popularity. They also talked about how and when to neutralize Gottfried.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 14</ref>
 
  
The 10 November, after taking [[Shaula]] and confirming than Malvina Hazen had moved her full ''touman'' to Terra, he suggested to Amirault to launch a full-scale invasion into the Falcon's territories, but the Khan refused, instead decided to launch [[Operation STAMPEDE]], traveling to Terra with all their Clan's Warship fleet, intending to challenge for the IlClanship, with Fulk's assistance.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 114-115</ref><ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 58</ref><ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 19</ref>

Circa [[3150]] he was given a case of [[Blackwood Firewater]] from a distillery in the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] by a [[Free Guilds]] [[guildmaster]].<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 11</ref>
 
 
After leading the [[Second Horde Cluster]] to claim the planet [[Shaula]], Amirault wanted to test the Falcon's defenses, and as the Horde uncovered than the Falcon's garrison had only two 'Mechs, and that Malvina Hazen had moved her full ''touman'' to Terra, decided to launch [[Operation STAMPEDE]], invading the Falcon's Occupation Zone, with Fulk's Lassanerra's assistance.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 114-115</ref>
 
 
Fulk, with his Khan, was invited to [[Terra]] by [[Alaric Ward]] after the [[IlClan Trial]], landing on [[Unity City]] the 25 May [[3151]]. After meeting the new ilKhan, Gottfried challenged Alaric to a Circle of Equals, but Alaric simply said he as [[IlKhan]], had no equals, and the Horses stormed off. Fulk had attempted to convince Gottfried to calm down, but was in vain, which won them both a row from the Loremaster. The same day, when Clan Wolf was recognized as [[IlClan]], both Horses' Khans were the only ones not to recognize him thus, leaving the stage.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 107-109</ref><ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 21</ref>
 
 
During the campaign to conquer all possible Falcon territory, Amirault proved to be excessively cautious, which made the Horses suffer several defeats. Specially in the [[Battle of Sudeten (3152)|Battle of Sudeten]] of [[3152]] the aggressive Fulk found his suggestions countered by the Khan. On March 10th, Fulk convinced him to allow the total razing of Hammarr, the Falcon's capital, but Gottfried eventually ordered the retreat.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 34-35</ref>
 
 
After Fulk's mistakes in Sudeten, he grew tired and decided to remove the Khan: blaming him for the defeats of Sudeten and [[Butler]], he presented charges, showing proof than most of the Falcons were, in fact, holograms. The Clan Council supported Fulk's call to a [[Trial of Position]], which both Khans fought on an island. Gottfried fought hard, but underestimated Fulk: after he apparently had been injured, Fulk suddenly recovered his full mobility and killed him in a shot to his cockpit.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 68</ref><ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 36</ref>
 
 
On May 17th, Fulk was confirmed as the Horses' new Khan, and his second, Patricia DeLaurel, was chosen as new SaKhan.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Honor'', ch. 38</ref>
