'''Joshua Wolf''' was born in [[2981]] to [[Clan Wolf]]. His parents were Birgit of the merchant caste and [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] Jon Vickers.{{cn}}
 
  
==History==
+
'''Joshua Wolf''' was born in [[2981]] to [[Clan Wolf]]. His parents were Birgit of the merchant caste and [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] [[Jon Vickers]].
Like his elder brother [[Jaime Wolf|Jaime]], he was trained to enter the Warrior caste despite being a [[Freeborn|freebirth]] and was assigned to the second-line Choyer Garrison Cluster on [[Circe]] where he handed a sound defeat to [[Clan Snow Raven]]'s Fourteenth Raven Battle Cluster in a [[Trial of Possession]] over the Beta Three Mining Complex. For his performance on Circe he was allowed to enter a [[Trial of Position]] for a frontline unit, namely [[Natasha Kerensky]]'s [[Trinary]] of the elite [[328th Assault (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault Cluster]], where he served under [[Star Commander]] Katya, a [[Trueborn]] from the same ''[[sibko]]'' that produced Natasha Kerensky. He fought exceptionally well against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces on [[Eden]] in [[3002]] and achieved the rank of Star Commander the following year.{{cn}}
 
  
He was offered to become second-in-command to his brother Jaime in [[Wolf's Dragoons]] and went with them into the [[Inner Sphere]] in [[3004]]. Joshua Wolf had a talent for administrative duties and was deeply involved in contract negotiations and liaison duties with employers of the [[mercenary unit]].<ref name=WDp15/>

At some indeterminate point during the Dragoons' mission (circumstantial evidence suggests during their contract with the [[Capellan Confederation]]) Joshua Wolf and Natasha Kerensky, who had also joined the Dragoons, became lovers.<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 17</ref>

===Death===

At some indeterminate point during the Dragoons' mission (circumstantial evidence suggests during their contract with the [[Capellan Confederation]]) Joshua Wolf and Natasha Kerensky, who had also joined the Dragoons, became lovers.
Major Joshua Wolf was detained by the Dragoons' current employer, Duke [[Anton Marik]], over contract disputes together with twenty-seven other staff members in early [[3015]]. When brought before the Duke alone on 15 March, he was shot by [[Vesar Kristofur]] "in a struggle with his guards," although it remains unclear whether Kristofur shot him in self-defense or deliberately killed him with the intention of pitting Wolf's Dragoons against their employer. Subsequently, the Dragoons attacked Anton Marik's HQ on [[New Delos]] and a furious Natasha Kerensky razed Duke Anton Marik's stronghold, killing the Duke. She afterwards emerged as the self-styled "Black Widow."<ref name=WDp20/>
 
  
After the end of the battle, Natasha was seen mourning and saying farewell to Joshua in front of his tomb, but it is unknown whether Joshua's body was recovered and buried there, or if the tomb was empty.<ref>''The Spider and the Wolf''</ref>

===Legacy===

==Speculation==
Jaime named one of his sons [[Joshua Wolf (31st c.)|Joshua]] in his brother's memory.<ref>''Wolf Pack'', p. 286</ref>
+
There are indications that Joshua's death was a result of [[Comstar]]'s machinations, preying on the paranoia of [[Anton Marik]] in an attempt to destroy the Dragoons.<ref>''[[The Spider and the Wolf]]''</ref>
