Natasha Kerensky
Sarna News
Natasha Kerensky is a trueborn Warrior from Clan Wolf, although there are hints that she can trace some of her ancestry back to former members of Clan Widowmaker. She joined Wolf's Dragoons during their long-term intelligence mission into the Inner Sphere. Natasha Kerensky quickly rose through the ranks of Wolf's Dragoons and by 3015 had formed the Black Widow Company, an elite unit within the elite Dragoons that quickly gained a reputation of its own. As commander of this unit, she also became known by her nickname of "The Black Widow", a living legend akin to the Bounty Hunter. During this time she usually piloted a jet black Warhammer.
When the Clan invasion into the Inner Sphere took place in 3049, she left the Dragoons to take her place amongst her fellow bloodnamed Clan Warriors. Upon Ulric Kerensky's elevation to ilKhan, she was named Khan of the Wolves.
Natasha Kerensky, leading the prestigious 13th Wolf Guards, died in late 3057 in single 'Mech combat against Star Commander Joanna of Clan Jade Falcon on the planet Twycross while fighting a rearguard action to cover the retreat of her unit. The Jade Falcons left Kerensky's fallen BattleMech (a Dire Wolf named Widowmaker) in its place as a monument to an exceptional person, who was widely respected, even by her former enemies. She was widely regarded as the best and deadliest MechWarrior of the 31st century, with the possible exception of Kai Allard-Liao.
