Under his leadership as Khan, James Cobb resurrected his Clan's traditional Warden political philosophy. He also reestablished his Clan's honor which was tainted by the victories and actions Khan Fletcher and his fellow Crusaders had incurred during their period of leadership.  He relocated his Clan to the Inner Sphere and achieved revenge against the Wolves for their manipulation of his Clan during Fletcher's reign. James was also responsible of achieving peace with Clan Ghost Bear, ending a century-long rivalry between the two Clans.
