Maeve Wolf was a genetic clone of Jaime Wolf, the commander of the legendary Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit.[4]

History[edit]

Early career[edit]

Her status as a clone was unknown even to herself and Jaime Wolf, and known only by a select few Dragoon scientists and (later) Brian Cameron.[4] After completing her training, she was initially assigned to Jaime Wolf's Bodyguard Lance[5] and saw action on Morges in 3053.[6] Later, having reached the rank of Captain, she was assigned a command in the Wolf Spider Battalion.[7]

Dragoon Civil War[edit]

During the Dragoon Civil War in 3054, Maeve was acting commander of the Wolf Spider Battalion, as Major John Clavell was wounded at the time.[8] She joined the conflict on the side of Colonel Jaime Wolf,[9] and played a major role when she defeated the upstart Alpin Wolf in single combat.[10] Following the war, she won a Trial of Position unopposed, earning the name "Wolf" and taking the new position of general within Wolf's Dragoons,[11] second in command only to (now Commander) Jaime Wolf. She assisted in the reorganization of the unit,[12] and served in that capacity for many years.

Word of Blake Jihad[edit]

It is indicated that she survived the attacks on Outreach and the failed Dragoon counterstrike on Mars at the start of the Jihad.

Death[edit]

General Maeve Wolf was one of the many high-ranking attendees of the Arc-Royal Summit in January 3073 caught in the explosion when the suicide bomb secretly grafted to Fritz Donner was triggered. Surviving the blast but suffering horrific injuries, a barely-conscious Maeve Wolf was evacuated by paramedics, before ultimately succumbing to her wounds.[2][13]

Legacy[edit]

Maeve was the last Wolf to lead the Dragoons, and the Wolf (Honorname) was retired decades later. Somehow, she had descendancy, as Outreach's legate, Brianna Wolf in the thirty-two century was her direct descendant.[14][15]

BattleMech[edit]

For most of her early career, she piloted a Thunderbolt BattleMech, a variant modified with jump jets[16] and Clan technology.[17] This was later clarified to be a Thunderbolt-9W model.[18]

  • As her status as a clone was unknown, her surname 'Wolf' was an Honorname.[19]
  • Despite her gender, she bears a clear resemblance to Jaime Wolf.[20]
  • During the events of the novel Wolf Pack, she is shown to be in an on-again-off-again romantic relationship with the novel's primary protagonist, Brian Cameron.
