Ulric Kerensky (3007–10 December, 3058) earned his Bloodname at thirty, considered old for a Clansman. He was Khan of Clan Wolf for the first half of Operation Revival (3049–3051). After ilKhan Leo Showers' death in 3050, Ulric was elected the new ilKhan of the Clans, and given the responsibility of completing the Clan Invasion.
Ulric Kerensky was very politically shrewd. He was a staunch Warden who wanted for Clan Wolf to be the first to conquer Terra and become the Clan above all other Clans. He wished to be the first among the Clans in order to protect the Inner Sphere from complete destruction at the hands of the Crusader Clans.
Ulric was the only Khan to vote against the invasion of the Inner Sphere and did not partake in the boasting and overly confident predictions of an easy victory. His foresight was proven correct when the Clans went against sterner resistance than they anticipated. Ulric's cunning made sure the Wolves did not suffer the same fate. Determined that the only way to stop the Crusaders was to outdo them, he led the Wolves on a quick-paced invasion that culminated with the seizure of key worlds such as Radstadt, Skondia, and Rasalhague. When the ilKhan was killed at Radstadt, Ulric was elected by the Crusaders in an attempt to control him. They failed. Ulric negotiated the Battle of Tukayyid with Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht of ComStar, but because the other Khans did not heed his warnings, they all failed to overcome their foes and win their objectives. The Wolves triumphed. Ulric held the Clans to their Truce for seven years before a charge of treason and genocide was leveled against him by the Crusaders. Stripped of his position as ilKhan, Ulric's Trial of Refusal against the Jade Falcons ravaged them and blunted the renewal of the invasion. Ulric Kerensky was killed on Wotan by Jade Falcon saKhan Vandervahn Chistu in an ambush that violated traditional Clan law.
