===The Final Battle===
The Coyote campaign to extract revenge from the Clan of [[Tobias Khatib]] devastated [[Clan Cloud Cobra]].  But it also had taken its toll on the warriors of Clan Coyote, and worse, their Clan had lost large enclaves on the worlds of [[Brim]] and [[Homer]] in the [[Kerensky Cluster]].  Twenty months in and Khan Levien was not yet finished.  As saKhan of Clan Coyote, James Kielman felt obligated to do something to halt the further sapping of his Clan's strength due to an event that had happened nearly 15 years earlier.  He challenged Khan Levien to a Trial of Grievance over their continued war with the Cloud Cobras.  The Trial would cost Khan Levien his life, but the war with the Cobras could now be scaled down.  The Coyotes could still be saved, though the road ahead would often be a hard one to travel.<ref name=FM:WCp42/><ref name=ED:GCp10>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 10 - ''Early Clan History: A Comparative Timeline, Cont.''</ref>

It is not clear that James Kielman assumed the Khanship of the Coyotes, but given passed traditions of their Clan regarding matters [[Kesar Jerricho|like these]], it seems logical that he would have ascended to Khan of the Coyotes.  Regardless, saKhan James Kielman was a bold warrior who had the strength to stand up to a Khan who had gone too far and was not about to stop.  Born to a [[Bloodname]] House that would be [[Reaving|Reaved]] in the wake of [[the Blood Scandal]], his place in his Clan's history would be secured for his efforts to guide it back from the brink during a dark time for the Coyotes.<ref name=FM:WCp42/><ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 42, 43 - "The Blood Scandal"</ref>
