Wolf's Dragoons Arguably the ultimate mercenary unit, the Dragoons were originally a Clan Wolf unit sent to spy on the Inner Sphere, using the guise of a mercenary unit as cover. Composed of freeborns, they had few problems passing themselves off as people of the Inner Sphere - only their superior technology marked them as being different. Taking their name from their leader, Jaime Wolf, (freeborns and bondsmen are sometimes given the name of their Clan if they prove themselves worthy of being a warrior),the Dragoons have attained near-legendary status with their performance on the battlefield and their conduct off it.

Of course...the scene would not be complete without the smaller, less well-known units. Often formed by washed-up / renegade ex-military types or career criminals with a taste for combat, these mercs take almost any job, no matter how dirty or desperate. Although most are honourable, some are downright vicious and pay little heed to the conventions of warfare.
