Clan Mongoose was absorbed by Clan Smoke Jaguar in 2868. The Mongoose Khan's has for years twisted the words of the Clan founder, Nicholas Kerensky, to justify their actions and defend actions considered by their fellow Clans to be "un-clanlike". When the Mongoose Khans chose to continue to use this type of action to contest a Grand Council decree that ran counter to their own wishes they were declared unfit to govern and thus made a target for Absorption.
