Leighton Khatib was a saKhan of Clan Cloud Cobra.
History[edit]
A Crusader by heart, the appearance of Outbound Light in 3048 allowed him to brought the debate within the clan to a head. Interpretation of the Way was hotly debated in the Clan Council, with Khan Din Steiner arguing against and saKhan Leighton Khatib arguing for invasion. In the end, saKhan Khatib prevailed, and the true Way made itself known to the Khan. At the Grand Council the Cloud Cobra Khans voted in favor of attacking the Inner Sphere. However, Khan Steiner would not allow the Clan to take part in the proceeding invasion, resulting in a flurry of furious challenges to his leadership. The issue was only resolved when saKhan Khatib counterchallenged each challenger, allowing cooler heads to prevail. Eventually the Clan would come to understand that Khan Steiner had acted in accordance with the Way by refusing to take part in the invasion.[1][2][2]
