Karl (Space Wolves)

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Karl is a Wolf Priest in the Space Wolves Chapter[1a], where he serves as both a mentor and potent healer[1b]. During his service to the Space Wolves, he joined a strike force commanded by the Grey Hunter Valgard Twice-Slain[1a], whose induction into the Chapter Karl had personally overseen[1b], and was besides the Grey Hunter when disaster struck their Strike Cruiser as they emerged from the Warp near the Imperium world Kanak. Without warning, they were ambushed by a Word Bearers Murder Class Cruiser and their Strike Cruiser crashed in pieces onto Kanak[1c]. Karl was among those who survived and discovered that Kanak had been successfully invaded by a Word Bearers Warband led by the Dark Apostle Oriax the Persuader, whose forces began mercilessly hunting the Space Wolves down. In the ensuing battles that followed, Valgard quickly organised Karl and the other survivors of the strike force he found and began taking the fight to the Word Bearers. As the group now fights across the fallen Imperium world, Karl serves as a trusted adviser to Valgard and fights ferociously against any traitors the Space Wolves come across.[1a]

Notes

Karl's name is misspelled as Carl, on his steam trading card and in the bonus objective of Campaign 3 - Mission 7.
