(If I'm right, I'd rather not have a turn - not a lot of time to monitor the thread during the turn.  Hopefully(?) wrong though.)

Conjurer.
(Unlike every other IIc revision of Inner Sphere 'Mechs, the Wolverine IIc did not receive this name because of a certain Annihilated Clan.  The Clan designation of Conjurer, furthermore, doesn't follow the theme of its brothers, Griffin and Shadow Hawk, in being based on some type of nonhuman animal.  Hellhound does, but that's an Inner Sphere reporting name, not the 'Mech's actual name.)

Second clue

I am unusual because such armament would be more appropriate for 'Mechs of different weight classes. And really there are two or three 'Mechs you can identify as inspiration for my designers. In fact, I act as a stand-in for one of those.

cauldron born
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

I am pleased that three of you showed the right kind of logic finally...

Fourth clue

I have strange relatives. Twins (and one of them is a mockery of his more succesfull sibling) and a miserable relative who is imitation too.
