===Political Turmoil===
 
When Khan [[Kerlin Ward]] of [[Clan Wolf]] proposed the [[Dragoon Compromise]] in [[3000]], Yvonne Hazen was incensed. She made plain her belief that such a "reconnaissance force" must surely either fail, send back flawed information, or even defect ''en masse'' to the Inner Sphere.

Despite Yvonne's stated misgivings, the Grand Council signed off on the creation and dispatch of "Wolf's Dragoons".<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 18 - The Wolf's Dragoons debate in the Grand Council.</ref>
{{quote|I do not trust the Wolves, for they have proven themselves creatures of opportunity, of individualism, of lax morals, and of unforgivable disregard for our origin. Yet I respect them, for they are warriors, bred true in accordance with our tradition. But to send the Wolves' freeborn bastards to the Inner Sphere is folly heaped on folly! Fellow Khans, I swear upon my oath to Turkina herself that once these lowborns are free of Clan obedience, they will never willingly return!|Khan Yvonne Hazen in a speech hto the Grand Council during the Wolf's Dragoons debates<ref name=JFS18>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 18: "The Compromise"</ref>}}

Still angry over the "folly" of the Dragoon Compromise, Yvonne Hazen started to consider her successor as supreme leader of the Jade Falcons. While her [[saKhan]], [[Sejanus Buhallin]], was a capable officer she felt he lacked sufficient political ability to lead the Crusader cause.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 19: Sejanus Buhallin's perceived shortcomings.</ref>

Instead, she turned to [[Elias Crichell|Elias]], a young ''[[ristar]]'' who had become Yvonne's newest and most trusted advisor.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 18: ''Ristar'' Elias Crichell.</ref> She began to prepare him to take over her position, awarding him the rank of [[Star Colonel]] in [[3020]]. Appointing him to command the prestigious [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]] sent a clear message that Yvonne Hazen intended for Star Colonel Elias to be the Clan's eventual leader.

The inevitable tensions between the newly [[Bloodname|Bloodnamed]] Elias Crichell and Sejanus Buhallin soon polarized the Jade Falcons into two camps. Each sought to discredit the other's leader. Khan Yvonne permitted the situation to unfold, and allowed Sejanus Buhallin's political credibility to unravel in the face of Elias Crichell's accusations and insinuations.

When Yvonne stepped in finally to resolve the situation, she placed the blame entirely on saKhan Sejanus, effectively destroying his career.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 19: Yvonne Hazen's sponsorship of Elias Crichell.</ref>

The arrival of the ''[[Outbound Light]]'' at [[Huntress]] in [[3048]] shocked the Clans. Information extracted from the [[JumpShip]]'s crew gave the Crusader faction the political ammunition it had long needed to push for the invasion of the Inner Sphere.

Yvonne Hazen did not live to see the opening stages of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. She died only two weeks after she had overseen the official ceremony installing Elias Crichell as her successor. She was found dead at the controls of her [[BattleMech]], evidently the result of a self-administered drugs overdose.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'' p. 20: Yvonne Hazen's demise.</ref>
