'''Clan Smoke Jaguar''' was one of the original twenty [[Clans]] founded by [[Nicholas Kerensky]]. Members of Clan Smoke Jaguar took fierce pride in their namesake, a [[Smoke Jaguar (species)|predator]] descended from genetically altered [[Terra|Terran]] jaguars imported to [[Strana Mechty]]. The Smoke Jaguars imitated their namesake almost to a fault, believing that the Clans' revered founder modeled all of Clan society on their totem animal, basing this assertion on an oft-quoted journal entry of Kerensky's which they revered second only to ''[[The Remembrance]]''.

In late [[3060]], an Inner Sphere task force, code-named SERPENT, struck at the Smoke Jaguar homeworld Huntress.  The Jaguar garrison commander, [[Russou Howell]], had only two Provisional Galaxies to withstand the onslaught of ten elite Inner Sphere regiments. Both sides wreaked enormous damage upon another. Howell used the opportunity to unleash a deadly new war machine. Dubbed [[ProtoMech]]s, these miniature [['Mech]]s were piloted by washed-out aerospace pilots using the new [[Enhanced Imaging]] system. The EI system coupled with the improved armor and weaponry allowed the ProtoMech pilots to wreak considerable damage on the Serpent forces before they were destroyed. After several days of almost nonstop combat, Task Force Serpent crushed the last of the Jaguar garrison forces.

Smoke Jaguar warriors were discovered on the world of [[Yorii]] during the [[Jihad]]. Discovered by members of [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] allied coalition in November [[3076]], the warriors had evidently been captured by the [[Draconis Combine]], either during Operation BULLDOG or on Huntress, and interned on Yorii. When the [[Word of Blake]] incorporated Yorii into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], reeducation camps were established on the planet, and it was from two of these camps that the Smoke Jaguar warriors had liberated themselves when found by the allies.<ref name="JHS:Tp23">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 23: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>

In Clan Space, [[Russou Howell]] reappeared in [[3063]] leading a brutal bandit raid on the Diamond Shark enclave on Vinton. Howell - known only as 'The Jaguar' to Clan society at large - and other ex-Jaguars formed the core of an unusually large and well-organized bandit caste force that included two Clusters' worth of warriors plus the rundown but functional WarShip ''[[Streaking Mist]]'', the group's mainstay space vessel. "The Jaguar" and his group allied with [[The Society]] and preyed upon numerous Clan enclaves during the [[Wars of Reaving]] and after. In [[3079]] "The Jaguar" was finally cornered and slain on Ghent by [[Clan Star Adder]] ''[[solahma]]''.<ref>"The Wars of Reaving", p. 192: "Other Personalities of Note - "The Jaguar" (Russou Howell)"</ref>

|The only Clan which is considered their one true enemy is Clan Wolf. The Jaguars would oppose the Wolves at every turn, both militarily and politically. The Jaguars would plot consistently against the powerful Warden Clan, resulting in numerous setbacks that would cost them heavily. Their rivalry with the Wolves would ultimately end with their own destruction. A century later, they would be reformed as protectors of the reborn Star League following their participation during the ilClan Trial.
