Jorin BloodhowlGrey Slayer PacksStorm Claws PacksWulfen PacksBran Redmaw's Great Company (The Bloodmaws): Bran Redmaw's personal icon is the Bloodied Hunter, for he loves nothing more than to hunt under the full moon. The savagery of his company is legend. Some say the Curse of the Wulfen runs deep within their ranks, for their enemies are often found literally torn to pieces. Bran himself has been seen to attack at the front of a howling pack of Wulfen, and sometimes even succumbs to the Canis Helix himself in the heat of battle. Yet these warriors are also cunning -- Bran's numerous Grey Hunters will often lie in wait to the foe's rear after the fury of his frontal attack forces their retreat.Engir Krakendoom's Great Company (The Seawolves): Engir Krakendoom's sigil is that of the Sea Wolf. Chosen from the kraken-hunting islanders of the south, his men are dark of skin and temperament. They go to war in armoured transports and assault craft, their Swiftclaw outriders ensuring they reach the foe as an unstoppable tide. Engir has led many a successful quest across the Sea of Stars.Erik Morkai's Great Company (The Sons of Morkai): Named after the Fenrisian wolf-god long before he took the sign of the two-headed beast, Erik Morkai has always been grim and stern of aspect. His company has a great many Wolf Scouts, fellow veterans who appreciate their master's taciturn demeanour and no-nonsense approach. Erik was elected more for his terrifyingly effective methods than his personality -- he invariably solves the problems that come his way with swift and bloody acts of violence. In battle, a large number of the warriors of Erik Morkai's Great Company have a preference for deploying in Carapace Armour rather than regular power armour, and most unusual, is that no one in Morkai's company makes use of Terminator Armour. Standing at just over one hundred warriors, the Morkai Great Company is slightly larger than a standard Codex-oriented company and includes a very large number of specialist formations and comparatively few line troops (Tactical Squads). This composition makes the Morkai Great Company an incredibly rapid formation with nearly half the company troops serving as infiltration specialists who are able to lay in wait and ambush the enemy, while the remaining force of the company is possessed with significant speed, which includes; 20 Skyclaws, 10 Swiftclaws and 10 Thunderwolf Cavalry.Gunnar Red Moon's Great Company (The Red Moons): The Wolf of the Red Moon is a skeletal beast that prowls the seven hells, devouring the bodies of the unworthy and yet never growing fat. The Wolf Lord who bears it as his personal symbol, Gunnar Red Moon, is as broad as a menhir and as boastful as a bard. A roaring bear of a man, Gunnar favours his Long Fangs and Aggressors, for they are possessed of a strong appetite for heavy firepower and heavier feasting.Harald Deathwolf's Great Company (The Deathwolves): Harald Deathwolf takes the symbol of the Ravening Jaw, icon of the Wolftime -- when Morkai will eat the sun and eternal night will shroud the stars. Harald himself rides to war upon Icetooth, a great grey Thunderwolf. He is the Chapter's foremost hunter, for his senses are so sharp he can smell fear. Harald's Great Company includes a host of lupine beasts, be they flesh and blood, cybernetic construct or even the spirits of loyal companions.Bjorn Stormwolf's Great Company (The Stormwolves): Bjorn Stormwolf is a ruddy mountain of muscle and bellowed impatience. He has taken the Thunderwolf as his symbol, for he too is a creature of ferocity over stealth. When the Stormwolves go to war, they field many heavy weapons, Bikes and Vindicators, for they rejoice in the din of battle more than any other Company.Egil Iron Wolf's Great Company (The Ironwolves): Egil Iron Wolf was a cog-toothed brute made more of metal than flesh. He recently made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life on Fenris so that the Daemon Primarch Magnus could be sent back to the Warp. His successor, Orven Highfell, was also slain in the skies above Cadia, yet the tenacity of the Ironwolves remains unbroken. Vorek Gnarlfist has taken the title of Wolf Lord in recent times, keeping the sigil of the Iron Wolf to honour his predecessors' acts of extreme valour. The Great Company is replete with metallic beasts of war, and their armoured assaults are famous throughout the Imperium, typified by great roaming packs of vehicles that cut off the prey's escape routes whilst heavily armed tanks deliver the fatal blow.Krom Dragongaze's Great Company (The Drakeslayers): Krom Dragongaze has a presence of will so strong that his fiercely loyal Wolf Guard say only the mythical Sun Wolf has a hope of staring him down. Krom loves taking part in all kinds of contests, from the Trial of the Bladed Eye to the rivalries he fosters within his Great Company and without.Ragnar Blackmane's Great Company (The Blackmanes): Perhaps the most talented Wolf Lord of all, Ragnar Blackmane's sheer ferocity is the stuff of legend. Though he is comparatively young, he is without doubt a warrior born -- Ragnar frequently has the honour of leading the Space Wolves' planetary invasions, for his Packs are the undisputed masters of the Drop Pod assault. During their recent deployment to Alaric Prime in 998.M41, the Blackmanes stood at exactly 188 Battle-Brothers, making them the second largest Great Company after the Champions of Fenris. The Blackmane Great Company possessed a surprisingly large number of Blood Claws, Skyclaws, and Swiftclaws -- at eighty-five strong nearly half the company is made up of the youngest of the Space Wolves' Packs, an unusual composition for a Great Company. The Blackmane Great Company specialises in planetary assaults -- Drop Pod assaults in particular -- and is often called on to serve as the spearhead of Chapter assaults. To facilitate this specialty the Blackmane Great Company occasionally utilises modified Thunderhawk Transports who can carry and deploy Drop Pods in place of Rhinos or Land Raiders. This allows the company to rapidly recover or redeploy already landed Drop Pods and launch a secondary assault on additional targets or initiate surprise assaults from low altitude without giving an enemy the advance warning of the pods making atmospheric entry.Sven Bloodhowl's Great Company (The Firehowlers): Sven Bloodhowl's warriors tattoo themselves not only with their volcanic icon, the Fire Breather, but also with runes and scenes from their own sagas. Sven himself is tattooed from head to toe, yet still he requires more room, for his kin prefer to win their victories in the glory of close combat. The Firehowlers also tattoo themselves with Bloodhowl's volcanic icon, the Fire Breather, alongside runes and scenes from their own sagas. Sven Bloodhowl has been missing since he assaulted the Blackstone Fortress, Will of Eternity. While some believe his saga to be at an end, his Wolf Guard rule in his name until his fate is determined.Kjarl Grimblood's Great Company (The Grimbloods): In Fenrisian myth, the Fire Wolf burns hot without being consumed. Some whisper Kjarl Grimblood bears a gift from his sigil; that he can read the future in the fires of war. True or not, his Great Company uses many Flamer Weapons, exulting in the smell of cooked flesh.13th Great Company (The Wulfen): The blank obsidian name-stone set into the Grand Annulus was once that of Jorin Bloodhowl's Great Company, known as the Wulfenkind; they who hounded the Thousand Sons into the Warp during the Horus Heresy. It represents all of the Great Companies across history that have been destroyed in battle, lost on campaign or claimed by dishonour. Only a handful of outsiders know of its existence. The 13th Great Company was lost to the Warp during the Horus Heresy, yet elements of the 13th Great Company survived within the Immaterium and reemerged into realspace during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. However, the 13th Company is no longer considered to be an official part of the Chapter's order of battle, though its survivors will always be considered Space Wolves.
