Bulveye Greybeard[5a], known as the Old Wolf, is the Jarl of Dekk-Tra, the Space Wolves' 13th Great Company, who led them into the warp after the Battle of Prospero. Like many of the 13th Great Company, Bulveye suffered from the Curse of the Wulfen.[2]
Biography
Bulveye was one of the 'Old Guard', the older Legionaries of Dekk-Tra that fought alongside Leman Russ on Fenris before the coming of the Allfather.[2] He was the Huscarl of Jarl Jorin Bloodhowl's Wolf Guard at the time of the Dulan Campaign.[4a]
Later, in the Great Crusade, Bulveye succeeded Bloodhowl as Jarl of the 13th Great Company, known as the Wolf Brothers, and commanded the 954th Expeditionary Fleet. He led Imperial forces in the Battle of Kernunnos[1] and later fought in the Burning of Prospero, at the end of which he led his Great Company into the warp in pursuit of the surviving Thousand Sons.[2]
Nearly ten thousand years later, he fought alongside Ragnar Blackmane on the "shadow" of Charys to prevent the Sorcerer Madox from completing a ritual to destroy the Space Wolves using the Spear of Russ.[3]
Bulveye and his two hundred surviving brothers of the 13th were eventually recovered on Prospero by the Space Wolves under Njal Stormcaller, discovering that ten thousand years had past and it was now the 42nd Millennium. Though now an ancient relic, Bulveye expressed his desire to once again take the war to the Sons of Magnus.[5b]
Wargear
Bulveye carried a chainsword in the Dulan Campaign.[4b] He later wielded eldingverfall — "the storm's strike" - a rune-inscribed power axe with a haft bound in sealskin.[2]
