History[edit]
Ariel Suvorov was the first aerospace pilot in more than a hundred years to be elected Khan of Clan Goliath Scorpion. Her renewed emphasis on the development of the Clan's aerospace assets has paid dividends in recent conflicts on the world of Tokasha. She believed that the Scorpions had to quickly claim their rightful place in the forefront of Clan society and step out from the shadow of their historically more powerful ally, Clan Wolf.[1]
Great Refusal[edit]
Following the Great Refusal on April 23, 3060, Khan Suvorov was both angry and disgusted at the Crusader Clans' failure to defeat the SLDF under Prince Victor Steiner-Davion on Strana Mechty. [2] “The Crusaders have doomed us all by underestimating these Inner Spherers,” she told her equally outraged senior commanders. Bound by the results of the Great Refusal like the other Clans, the Goliath Scorpions therefore had to “find a path in a universe now forced into peace.”
Wars of Reaving[edit]
In 3067, the Second Star League had disbanded and the Truce of Tukayyid has expired. This would allow the remaining Home Clans to focus on renewing another invasion. To rectify this event, the Grand Council would elect Khan Garret Sainze of Clan Fire Mandrill as ilKhan (with the backing of the Snake Alliance). As ilKhan, Sainze's decree was to focus on concentration his efforts on carrying out the aftermath of the Great Refusal. Dissatisfied with the Grand Council's vote, Ariel would challenge the new ilKhan over his conduct in a Trial of Refusal, successfully defeating the ilKhan in combat.
Death[edit]
When information spread about the Scorpions blending tainted spheroid genes to the other clans, the remaining Home Clans would abjure them from clan space. However, the abjuration would be carried out slowly. While the Scorpion took their time to depart, the warriors left behind, including Khan Suvorov, would sacrifice themselves to ensure the Scorpion's escape. She would eventually be killed in 3079, defending the abjuration of Clan Goliath Scorpion. Before her final battle she instructed her successors to find a new path for their Clan, which would go on to establish Escorpión Imperio.
Personality and Appearance[edit]
Fond of predatory birds, Suvorov would keep a jade falcon as her familiar, which has brought her the ire of that bird's namesake Clan.[3]
