Leo Showers
Sarna News
Leo Showers (3004 – October 31, 3050; aged 46 years) was the Khan of Clan Smoke Jaguar, and later the ilKhan of all the Clans from 3049 – 3050, during the Clan Invasion.
Political Service
Although little is known about Leo Showers' service as the Khan of Clan Smoke Jaguar, much is known about his role as the ilKhan of the Clans. In his position of ilKhan, he created the initial Invasion Corridors for the Clans deemed worthy to start the invasion. His presence on the front helped to quell any potential infighting and dissent from within the Clans.
Death
Showers died in 3050 at Radstadt when aboard the Clan Wolf flagship Dire Wolf, as a crippled Free Rasalhague Republic pilot, Tyra Miraborg (daughter of Tor Miraborg) crashed her crippled Shilone bomber in an ultimate sacrifice into the bridge of the Clan command ship, the Dire Wolf, throwing Showers into the void of space. His death necessitated the recall of all of the invading Clan Khans and Bloodnamed to Strana Mechty to oversee the election of a new ilKhan, which give the Inner Sphere an extra year of preparation for the renewed assault.
- Mourn for our ilKhan, o warriors!
- Cry curses to the heavens!
- They have silenced the voice of the Crusaders;
- Let them be ash beneath our feet.
- Make your hearts as proud as his,
- Make your blood as fierce,
- Make your blows as deadly to our enemies.
