'''Lucius Moore''' was the first [[saKhan]] of Clan Ice Hellion.<ref name=FMCC75>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 75</ref>

==History==
===Hellion Civil War===
In the wake of the success of Operation KLONDIKE the Ice Hellions under [[Stephan Cage]] grew in size as inter-Clan raids and Trials began in earnest. Eager to test his philosophy against real soldiers, rather than the pathetic rebels so recently conquered, he unleashed his Clan against the other Clans.  Their foes, initially dismissing the lightweight Hellion units, were surprised by the flexibility and adaptability the Hellions displayed while their own units were still practicing old Star League tactics or experimenting in what would eventually become common Clan battle doctrine.  In this way the Ice Hellions became powerful beyond all expectations within a decade of the Pentagon War.<ref name=FMCC75/>

Unfortunately the other Clans soon learned how to counter the Ice Hellion tactics and the Clan began suffering defeat after defeat as they came under attack from all sides.  Only one Ice Hellion commander, saKhan [[Lucius Moore]], still won more often than lost, and though Cage initially chalked it up to superior ability reports of a more sinister explanation began to filter regarding his success.<ref name=FMCC75/>

After the Annihilation of [[Clan Wolverine]], Cage desperately sought out the secret behind Moore's success, fearful that his personal friendship with Khan [[Sarah McEvedy]] of the Wolverines would imperil his Clan.  To his horror Cage found that Moore had been giving his warriors performance-enhancing drugs, provided to him by members of his own Clan's scientist caste.  Such a dishonor, affecting nearly a fifth of their warriors, would taint the whole Clan and lead to its Annihilation just as the Wolverines were unless Cage acted quickly.  Going before the [[Grand Council]] Cage presented this evidence and demanded a [[Trial of Grievance]] against Moore, pleading for a chance for Clan Ice Hellion to rid itself of the treacherous Moore and his followers.  The plan was agreed to by the Council, undoubtedly because some saw it as a win-win situation: either the Ice Hellions would be annihilated or so weakened as to be easy pickings.<ref name=FMCC75/>

For the next three months Cage hunted down Moore and his followers, engaging in numerous pitched battles which saw heavy casualties.  Eventually Cage emerged victorious over the drug-enhanced warriors, though his victory came at a high cost.  Clan Ice Hellion had shrunk by nearly fifty percent at the end of the civil war, including many of the most brilliant scientists the Clan had, purged for their role in the conflict.  Cage would also step down as Khan of the Ice Hellions in the hopes that new blood would speed along the Clan's rebuilding.<ref name=FMCC75/>
