Gottfried Amirault was a Khan of Clan Hell's Horses during the thirty-second century. More of a politician than a warrior, he was able to maintain both his position and his Clan's strength for several years through cautious leadership. However, his opportunistic alliance with Malvina Hazen and then the failure of Operation STAMPEDE ultimately led to Amirault's downfall and death in 3152.

History
Early Years
Being an average warrior, Gottfried was able to pass his Trial of Position with a single kill. After his trial, he was assigned to hunt pirates that were hiding out in The Barrens; his time hunting pirates was a good post for him to acquire powerful allies. These allies helped Gottfried by getting him nominated in the Trial of Bloodright for the Amirault Bloodname. Though he was unsuccessful the first time, a few years later another Bloodright trial was started and Gottfried was able to come out victorious.[1] As a Bloodnamed warrior, Gottfried continued making contacts and alliances with his peers which allowed him to be elected to the rank of saKhan. Five years after attaining the second highest rank within the Clan, Gottfried was elected as Khan of the Hell's Horses after the death of Teresia Cooper on Waldorff.[1]
Khan
As Khan, he has pursued to uphold the status quo that the previous Khan has set in place; it has hurt his personal honor, but it has kept his Clan strong. In the relative calm of the Pax Republica, he found his political skills most successful than his unexceptional talemts as warrior, avoiding major conflicts unless victory seemed assured. His fearful capitulation to Malvina Hazen cost him the respect of other Clan leaders and starined his Clan's internal support.[3]
Gottfried believed that the alliance between the Hell's Horses and the Jade Falcons has been a travesty that he is wanting to get away from. Malvina's blunders in the invasion of the Lyran Commonwealth have given Gottfried what he desires, being able to extract his Clan from dealing with the Falcons.[1]
In November 3150, after a series of attacks in the Barrens, Gottfried auhorized a reconnaissance in force there.[4]
IlClan Era
After leading the Second Horde Cluster to claim the planet Shaula, Amirault wanted to test the Falcon's defenses, and as the Horde uncovered than the Falcon's garrison had only two 'Mechs, and than Malvina Hazen had moved her full touman to Terra, he rejected Fulk Lassenerra's call to launch a full-scale invasion into the Falcon's territories, instead decided to launch Operation STAMPEDE, traveling to Terra with all their Clan's Warship fleet, intending to challenge for the IlClanship, with Fulk's Lassanerra's assistance.[5][6]
But before arriving, Gottfried was invited to Terra by Alaric ward after the IlClan Trial, landing on Unity City the 25 May 3151. After meeting, he acused Ward of claimed to have denied his Clan the chance to fight at Terra. Ward said him thar a true Clan would have found a way to Terra. Amirault defied him to a Circle of Equals, but Alaric simply said he' as IlKhan, had no equals, and the Horses stormed off. The same day, when Clan Wolf was recognized as IlClan, the Horses' Khans were the only ones to don't recognize him, leaving the stage.[7]
Refusing to recognize Alaric as IlKhan and adopt a subordinate status, decided to transform Operation Stampede into a operation to seize the abandoned Jade Falcon Holdings to strengthen his clan, but quickly proved to be lacking the talents of a true warrior, and his hesitancy costed him dearly.[8]
Death
After the failed Battle of Sudeten against the Clan Jade Falcon remnants as a part of Operation STAMPEDE, he would be challenged by his saKhan, Fulk Lassenerra to a Trial of Position over his conduct. He would later be slain by his new successor.
