Watch Pack - Officers: Watch Pack Leader Kargir - Kargir was the sergeant of the 19th Squad of Tolv (the 12th Great Company), then later of the Howl of the Hearthworld, the most Veteran squad of Tolv. Kargir was a remnant of a forgotten age, the last of the first generation of Fenrisians to have become a squad-commander and he fought hard to remain so. When Leman Russ selected Kargir's squad to serve as a Watch Pack, to act as bodyguards and watchers over Rogal Dorn, the primarch of the Imperial Fists Legion, Kargir voiced his discontent with this decision but dared not disobey an order from his own primarch. Kargir would die alongside his squad during the Siege of Terra, aiding in the defence of the Arjuna Bastion.Watch Pack Leader Theodore Strong-grin - Theodore served as Einherjar Champion of the Nine Eastern Tribes, formerly of Tra (the 3rd Great Company). His Watch Pack was returning to Fenris from a campaign when they received orders to divert and rendezvous with the Night Lords fleet. While some packs were hand-picked for their assignment it is possible Pack Theodore was chosen for the simple expedience of their location. If so, it was such ill-fate that sent the pack to their certain deaths. After arriving aboard the Night Lords capital ship Nightfall, the Space Wolves were ordered to depart their shuttle Rauha with no weapons. They met with a large delegation of Night Lords, led by the dark Primarch Konrad Curze. Instead of complying with the Watch Pack's Emperor-given mandate, the Watch Pack were treacherously set upon by the Traitor Marines, who dragged them down by the weight of their numbers and slew them with blades and fists. Watch Pack Leader Theodore was kept alive after his packmates were slain, his body cut and tortured by the Night Haunter and sent back to the Sol System, barely alive, aboard their shuttle as a message to Malcador the Sigillite and the Loyalists. Theodore was recovered by the Knight-Errant Ison, who chose to do everything in his power to keep Theodore alive and restore his body without internment in a Dreadnought sarcophagus.Watch Pack Leader Helik Redknife - Despatched to the Blood Angels fleet to keep watch on Primarch Sanguinius for signs of treachery or deviancy following the Council of Nikaea, Captain Redknife and his command linked up with the Blood Angels just before the Signus Campaign. During the final epic battle on Signus Prime while fighting against a vast horde of Daemons, Redknife and his command were inadvertently slain by the berserker warriors of Blood Angels Captain Nassir Amit and his warriors of the 5th Company when they fell into the depths of the Red Thirst and set upon Redknife and his Space Wolves, slaughtering all of them. Following the battle, Amit submitted himself to First Captain Raldoron for punishment. He revealed what had occurred to the Space Wolves, but Azkaellon, the commander of the Sanguinary Guard, revealed to Amit that he had already lied to their primarch about how the Space Wolves had died. Enraged, Amit nearly came to blows with the Sanguinary Guard commander, but Azkaellon explained that if their lord knew the truth, he would blame himself for what had happened. He would then tell his brother, the Wolf King, the truth. This would risk the bonds between their two Legions at a time when unity in the Imperium was sorely needed.Watch Pack Leader Faffnr Bludbroder - Hailing from Sesc (the 6th Great Company), Pack Master Bludbroder was despatched to the Realm of Ultramar to observe the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman, under the orders of Malcador the Sigillite himself, in the wake of the events of the First Battle of Prospero. Departing on the zeta-class courier ship Waning Crescent, Bludbroder and his Watch Pack successfully arrived at Macragge, but by that time the Horus Heresy had erupted into a massive galaxy-wide conflict. Following the Battle of Calth and the Word Bearers Legion's maleficent summoning of the massive Warp storm known as the Ruinstorm, the Realms of Ultramar were cut off from the rest of the Imperium. Unable to firmly establish whether or not the Emperor of Mankind still lived, or if Terra and the Imperium of Man had fallen to the Traitors, Guilliman instituted the ultimate contingency plan -- to create a second Imperium in order to ensure the survival of the Emperor's dream of a united Mankind, known as the Imperium Secundus. The XIIIth Legion had discovered the means to help navigate their voidships through the Warp without the beacon of the Astronomican through the use of recently discovered xenos-technology known as the Pharos on the world of Sotha. The artificial psychic light from the beacon on Sotha guided many vessels, both civilian and Legiones Astartes, to the Realms of Ultramar. Following the Thramas Crusade, the Dark Angels Legion was one such Imperial military force to arrive. During the welcome parade for the Ist Legion, led by Primarch Lion El'Jonson in the van, the primarch was confronted by Bludbroder, who demanded that the Lion honour the ritual duel that had become standard operating procedure between the Dark Angels and Space Wolves Legions, since the emergence of a rivalry between the two Legions' primarchs during the Dulan Campaign. Bludbroder attempted to strike the Lion with his Frost Axe, and very nearly succeeded in landing his strike, but was soundly defeated by the Lion. Later on, it was Bludbroder and his pack who protected Guillman's adopted Human mother, Tarasha Euten, and battled the psychotic Night Lords primarch Konrad Curze when he was let loose upon Macragge. Though Bludbroder was grievously wounded by Curze, he managed to survive. After recovering from his wounds, Bludbroder was later seen keeping vigil over both the Lion and Guilliman as they discussed how best to run Curze to ground and capture him.Watch Pack Rathvin - Rathvin served as captain of Tra (the 3rd Great Company). His Watch Pack was sent to locate Horus and seek his counsel. However, news of Horus' treachery reached Rathvin before his Watch Pack came close to the Isstvan System. Watch Pack Rathvin fought alongside some Iron Hands until a summons from Leman Russ brought them to the Rosario System in order to retrieve an artefact of the Space Wolves Legion -- an axe -- where Rathvin met Primarch Corvus Corax and his Raven Guard Legion. After that, Rathvin and his pack went to Yarant III and reunited with their Legion.Watch Pack Leader Arvan Woundweaver - With the treachery of four primarchs confirmed at the beginning of the dark days known as the Horus Heresy, Leman Russ and Malcador the Sigilite decided to despatch several squads of "honour guards" of the fiercest warriors the Space Wolves could offer to ensure the remaining primarchs' loyalties. Arvan Woundweaver was one of those tasked with this mission, he and his pack were charged by the Wolf King to join the XIXth Legion and watch over Corvus Corax; however, Woundweaver and his pack could not locate the stealthy primarch for five long standard years. The VIth Legion had established a series of well-hidden and well-defended outposts in several dead star systems that were being used as armouries and it was during one of their resupply stops that the enemy reared its ugly head in the form of a cruiser of the Heretic Sons of Horus, the Warmaster Horus' own Traitor scum. With three members of his squad choosing this ill-fated moment to fall prey to the Curse of the Wulfen, Woundweaver had no other choice than to put them down and seclude himself in the outpost's central keep. Sending his abandoned voidship on an automated course as a bottle into a fathomless ocean, the seven remaining Space Wolves entrenched themselves in the station's keep and battled the Sons of Horus who had landed their own troops. Fortunately for Woundweaver, his drifting ship was discovered a few solar weeks later by the Fearless, a Raven Guard light cruiser commanded by Lieutenant Navar Hef of the Raptors contingent. Arvan Woundweaver's saga was abruptly cut short when the plan he had devised to slay the besieging Sons of Horus backfired. He and his squad are believed to have become locked down in combat and thus unable to evacuate the compound before its Plasma Reactor went critical and vaporised the Traitors and Space Wolves alike.Watch Pack Leader Torbjorn - Torbjorn formerly served as the Wolf Guard Company Champion of For (the 4th Great Company). He was later assigned to lead a Watch Pack to the Alpha Legion and stand as wardens or executioners over Alpharius. However, after making contact with the XXth Legion's fleet, the Space Wolves were betrayed. When they met with the "primarch," who in actuality was an Alpha Legion officer who was standing-in for his primarch as a proxy, Torbjorn suspected the other Legion's treacherous intent and stuck down the warrior he believed to be Alpharius. With their treachery revealed, Torbjorn and his pack were later hunted down and slain by the traitorous Alpha Legion. Formerly a Wolf Guard of For, Brother Torbjorn served as Watch Pack Torbjorn's sergeant and leader when he went to the Golan System to watch over the Alpha Legion Primarch Alpharius. When they were betrayed by the treacherous Traitor legionaries, only Torbjorn and two of his pack brothers managed to fight clear of the ambush. They managed to steal an Alpha Legion shuttle and flee, only to discover a pair of Alpha Legion operatives aboard the stolen vessel had sabotaged it, bringing the shuttle down over the Ocean World of Pelago. The sinking shuttle was discovered by a fisherman, his cousin and his mentor. Investigating, they discovered the corpses of two Space Wolves and one Alpha Legion Legionaries. Awakening, the formerly unconscious Torbjorn helped the Human fishermen onto their boat and sailed clear in time just as the shuttle sunk beneath the water. Torbjorn revealed his identity, his mission and subsequent betrayal that led to him ending up on the far-flung Ocean World. Though initially frightened at the prospect of the Alpha Legion coming to their world, Torbjorn allayed the mortals' fears and told the fishermen that he had sent a signal for reinforcements. As they headed towards the nearest land, they witnessed the Space Wolves' ship, Hunter's Moon, landing upon a beach. Elated that his Legion had received his distress beacon, Torbjorn's temporary elation turned to horror as he saw Alpha Legion Legionaries disembarking from the Space Wolves' vessel. The fisherman's cousin, mentor and Torbjorn were shot dead on the spot, with only the fisherman surviving the encounter.
