IlChi was an office created by Clan Blood Spirit Khan and founder Colleen Schmitt in 2823.[1]
Contents
Description
Meaning State Messenger, it was an ambassadorial position meant to foster good will between the Clans. Her saKhan, Devon Boques, is noted as the first ilChi to be named, due to his rapport with Clan Steel Viper. As the Golden Century dawned and many of the other Clans began to deride the Blood Spirits as unClanlike, the position was withdrawn.[1][2]
History: Fire Mandrills
The Blood Spirits would live in isolation from the other Clans for many years, though there were exceptions. Some time during the 3060's, Kindraa Smythe-Jewel of Clan Fire Mandrill contacted the Blood Spirits, arranging the exchange via a series of Trials of Possession of land on Foster and some minor Blood Heritages for the New OmniMech technology. Disbelieving that another Clan would offer anything but treachery at first, Khan Ceana Boques slowly warmed to to the proposal. She would later re-institute the office of ilChi for the first time in decades, cementing the good relations between the two Clans. Though it would stop short of an actual alliance, both parties agreed to look out for each others interests when it came to defense and the private development of their respective Clans.[3]
After the Great Refusal, the relationship between the Blood Spirits and the Fire Mandrills would become increasingly close under the watch of ilChi Jas Keller, often coordinating defenses and assaults with one another. The office of ilChi was said to be highly instrumental bringing about this development.[4][5][6][7]
History: Snow Raven
Later, during the Political Century, the Blood Spirits were again surprised by another Clan's desire to work through peaceful solutions. Clan Snow Raven, who had possession of a small enclave on York since the Golden Century, was approached by the Blood Spirit ilChi for the first time in over one hundred years. Khan Fara Church authorized the ilChi to barter the unused WarShips of the Blood Spirit fleet in exchange for second-line BattleMechs. Khan Ewan McCorkell of the Snow Ravens was keen to work out the trade, which he saw to be in his Clan's best interests. An exchange of two Galaxies of BattleMechs for three unused WarShips was worked out and executed over a thirty year stretch, from 2980 to 3010, when the last shipment of 'Mechs arrived at York.[8][9]
In later times, Bri McFadden, the ilChi to Clan Snow Raven would remain busy, exchanging assets and materials and continuing the two Clans' good relations. As the Wars of Reaving approached, both Clans were conscious of assisting one another through the turbulent political waters of the Clan Homeworlds.[10][11]
History: Cloud Cobra
In 3067, Carmen Zadok was appointed by Karianna Schmitt to attend to relations with Clan Cloud Cobra. Both Clans shared intelligence and research, leading to the development of the ProtoMech warrior phenotype years later.[4][12][13]
