Founded by then [[Steel Wolves]] leader [[Anastasia Kerensky]] when she was dissatisfied by the state of the [[Steel Wolves]]. This led to the splintering Clan of unworthy members, what remains of the Steel Wolves in July [[3135]].

==History==
 
==History==
The Hunters were hired to stop the [[Wolf Empire]] invasion of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[3143]], by [[Duke of Hesperus II|Duke]] [[Vedet Brewer]].<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', p. 151</ref> Led by Anastasia, they defeated the Wolves on planets [[Hollabrunn]], [[Senftenberg]], [[Dar-es-Salaam]], and [[Mariefred]], stopping the Wolf offensive.<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'' p. 159</ref> Their victory on the planet [[Hyde]] was a short one: they forced the Wolves to retreat, but after the Hunters left the planet, [[Alaric Wolf]] took the planet easily. But their luck changed on [[Smolnik]]. There, Alaric uncovered a plan by Anastasia to turn a city into a trap. Expecting to finally kill Alaric, he defused the trap by gassing the city, putting the civilians and soldiers to sleep. Despite the fact that Anastasia killed [[Verena Wolf]], lover and Alaric's second-in-command, Alaric defeated Kerensky and claimed her as a [[bondswoman]] afterward.

Lead by Anastasia, they defeat the Wolves on planets [[Hollabrunn]], [[Senftenberg]], [[Dar-es-Salaam]], [[Mariefred]], stopping the Wolf offensive.<ref>''A bonfire of Worlds'' p. 159</ref>
Two-thirds of the Wolf Hunters mercenary unit were either captured or killed, neutralizing them as a threat permanently.<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', p. 217</ref> However, the remnant of their group joined the Lyran defense of [[Tharkad]] against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and Clan Wolf attack. [[3146]] found the Hunters still at the service of the Lyrans, but when their former leader, Anastasia Kerensky, now new Clan Wolf [[saKhan of Clan Wolf|saKhan]], extended to her former unit an invitation to join Clan Wolf, and the Hunters unanimously acquiesced, leaving Lyran space to Wolf Empire space. The status of the mercenaries in the Empire is unknown.<ref name=SFp24>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 24</ref>
