Biography
Early Life
At a young age he served in the 2nd Regiment of the mercenary group the Kell Hounds. On a mission, Phelan was captured on The Rock in the Oberon Confederation in 3049 by initial assualt forces of Clan Wolf. He was believed dead to those in the Inner Sphere.
Clan Wolf
While in captivity he was subjected to interrogation and drugs that led him to devulge the military might of the different successor states of the Inner Sphere. Phelan was the bondsmen of Khan Ulric Kerensky of Clan Wolf and advised him on how to best outbid Clan rivals such as Clan Ghost Bear for the right to invade Rasalhague. After an AeroSpace fighter crashed into the bridge of Ulric's flagship, the WarShip Dire Wolf, Phelan rescued Khan Ulric Kerensky and Vlad Ward, a warrior that deeply hated him. Although Ulric was rescued, the ilKhan Leo Showers of Clan Smoke Jaguar was killed. Subsequently Phelan was granted full warrior status in recognition of his bravery and dedication to the clan. Phelan's name was changed from Phelan Patrick Kell to Phelan Kell Wolf. Khan Ulric mentioned that this was the first time a caste change like this had been done in the clan in the last 30 years.
Natasha Kerensky bid only Phelan to take the Free Rasalhague Republic world of Gunzburg. He successfully negotiated the surrender of the world from his old enemy Tor Miraborg without the spilling of any blood. This action significantly enhanced his standing among the Wolf Clan. Phelan went on to win many more victories in the Clan Invasion and eventually won the bloodname Ward left open by Cyrilla Ward's suicide. He defeated his close rival and hated enemy Vlad in the last battle for the bloodname.
The Battle of Tukayyid that halted the Clan invasion took a toll on the Wolves, despite the fact that they were the only Clan to secure both of their objectives. Khan Garth Radick was killed. While Natasha was elevated to senior Khan, Phelan was elected saKhan. This fulfilled ilKhan Ulric Kerensky's goal of having two Khans were experienced with the ways of the Inner Sphere. In 3057, Clan Jade Falcon brought charges of genocide against Ulric. With the other Clans furious at the truce that binded them, the Grand Council found Ulric guilty, though he declared a Trial of Refusal. In what would become known as the Refusal War, Ulric threw most of the Wolf Clan at the Falcons. Phelan, as the commander of Alpha Galaxy, made a show of participating in the war, but led the most staunchly Warden warriors into exile in the Inner Sphere. Phelan led his troops to the Lyran Alliance, but were still assaulted by the Falcons. With the help of the Kell Hounds, the Falcons were defeated.
Clan Wolf-in-Exile
With the war over, Phelan set about preparing his people to live in exile. Grand Duke Morgan Kell, Phelan's father and the Duke of Arc-Royal, granted the Wolves-in-Exile an enclave on Arc-Royal. The Wolves-in-Exile formed a key part of the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon that was ostensibly created to keep the Jade Falcons in check. Phelan himself attended the Whitting Conference on Tharkad that saw the resurrection of the Star League and the decision to annihilate Clan Smoke Jaguar. Though he was accused of such, Phelan did not betray the path to the Kerensky Cluster. He led elements of his Wolves against the Jaguars in Operation Bulldog, capturing a Smoke Jaguar Cluster almost entirely intact. When the Federated Commonwealth Civil War broke out in 3063, Phelan was forced to sit out from most of the fighting in order to combat a new Jade Falcon assault, though he advocated assaulting Tharkad early in the struggle. He did eventually get his chance to attack the Lyran capital in 3067 as part of Peter Steiner-Davion's pan-Lyran coalition.
Marriage and children
While Phelan was romantically linked to Ranna Kerensky, there is no "marriage" in the Clans.
Death and afterward
Philosophical and/or political views
Phelan Kell Wolf Ward Kell was a stronger believer in the Clan Warden political perspective. He was described as having taking to the Clan lifestyle like a convert to a new religion.
Awards
He earned Warrior status in the Clan after having been taken a bondsman, which gave him the name Phelan Wolf. In 3052, he won the Ward Bloodname, which changed his name to Phelan Ward. He was made one of the Khans of Clan Wolf along side Kahn Natasha Kerensky. Upon the death of Natasha during the Refusal War, Phelan became senior Khan of Clan Wolf-in-Exile (not to be confused with Khan Vlad Ward of the reborn Clan Wolf). At the end of the Refusal War, the late ilKhan Ulric Kerensky bestowed the new bloodname of Kell upon Phelan in a postdated message so that the Wolves would have a bloodname that survived Abjuration.
