The Watch is the intelligence agency of the Clans. Founded by Nicholas Kerensky to spy on the Clan Wolverine, the Watch originally answered to the ilKhan only. Later, and especially after the failed invasion of the Inner Sphere, the Clans began to understand the value of an intelligence service, so every Clan got an arm of the Watch. Still, since the Clans consider spying un-Clanlike, the Watch is considered weak even in comparison to SAFE.
The current (3057) head of the Watch is Kael Pershaw of Clan Jade Falcon[1].
- Clan Jade Falcon: In 3060 Kael Pershaw is head of their Watch. In 3064 Khan Marthe Pryde used the Jade Falcon Watch to steal information about pirate jump points of Lyran systems. This knowledge was used in the assault on Melissia.
- Clan Smoke Jaguar: Their Watch was fully aware of the growing Warship-programs of the Successor States and the re-fitted Warships of ComStar. But for unknown reasons, the warrior caste simply discarded these informations. So, they were caught offhanded in 3060 when major Inner Sphere warship-forces showed up during Operation Bulldog and Operation Serpent.
- Clan Wolf-in-Exile: During the Jade Falcon incursion of 3064, their Watch cooperated with the Lyran LIC and ComStar's ROM to deliver the best possible intelligence to the defenders of the Lyran Alliance.
