Biography

Ortheln was one of the Varagyr retinue that accompanied Leman Russ during the battle at Tizca. He saw combat throughout the anomalous event known as the "Impossible Battle."[1]

He was active in the ranks of the First Great Company in the campaigns following the Prosperine Crusade, where eye witnesses recounted that Ortheln was slain in the final moments of the battle, one of the few Space Wolves to have breached the walls of the Pyramid of Photep, engaged in combat with members of the Thousand Sons' Scarab Occult.[1]
