==History==<br />
===Stalling the Great Debate===<br />
Born to a [[Bloodname]] House known for its [[Elementals]]<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 135: "Exclusive Bloodnames"</ref>, Royce Chapman was Khan of his [[Clan]] by the time [[Clan Ghost Bear]] Khan [[Nadia Winson]] called for the [[Grand Council]] to vote for an invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]]. Seeking to stall such an invasion, Khan [[Kerlin Ward]] of [[Clan Wolf]] was able to convince Khan Chapman and his [[saKhan]] that their plans to establish a new [[Star League]] with the governments of the Inner Sphere was best served by his proposal to send a reconnaissance force to ascertain the strengths of the [[Great House]]s. Khan Chapman and his saKhan had previously withheld their votes regarding the question to invade the Inner Sphere, and their Clan was divided between the [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] and the [[Warden]] political philosophies. The Viper Khans' decision to side with the Warden faction for this vote angered several Crusader Clans - especially [[Clan Jade Falcon]] - by voting to send what would eventually become [[Wolf's Dragoons]] on this mission. Their votes were enough to tip the scale in Khan Ward's favor, and any Crusader invasion plans were stalled for decades to come.<ref name=ICp85/><ref name=FM:WCp136/><br />
