Ulric Kerensky (born 2997[1] – died December 10th, 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.

Biography
Ulric Kerensky was politically very 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.
Quotes
Ulric Kerensky: Precentor Martial, perhaps you could request data on one more world in your transmission?
Anastasius Focht: It would be my pleasure, ilKhan. Which world is it?
Kerensky: A target for the Smoke Jaguars and Nova Cats. It is in the Draconis Combine. According to what they say, it may be a world of some importance. The name escapes me.
Focht: Irece? Teniente? Pesht? Do they mean to take Pesht? Pesht is a Military District capital.
Kerensky: No, no, none of those, Precentor, but thank you. Ah yes, now I remember. The name is Luthien. The world for which they want information is known as Luthien.

Myndo Waterly: Believe me ilKhan, you have the troops and experience necessary to take Tharkad.
Ulric Kerensky: Oh, I believe you, but taking Tharkad would deflect us from our goal and that I cannot allow to happen.
Waterly: Your goal?
Kerensky: You did not know? You truly do not know?
Waterly: I do not.
Kerensky: Our goal is the conquest of Terra, my dear Primus. It was once the seat of the Star League, and it will belong to the Star League again. This is our will, our goal, and no one in the Inner Sphere can stop us from achieving it.
