Torin is the only known volunteer [[Wolfblade (Unit)|Wolfblade]]. Although he does not talk much about it, this is probably due to his special naturechoice, for he is very vain. Torin is not like other [[Space Wolves]], he . He does not sing the traditional songs, he rarely drinks ale (he prefers wine)to ale, and in the fight combat he is not the one who loudly attackssilent and deliberate where most other Wolves charge forward, howling at the enemy (which is not a sign of cowardice) and he wears his hair well shaven along with his beard, and wears perfume. Torin is something more of a nobleman. He loves and knows the big political intrigues in the tangled intrigue of the [[Navigators|Navigator]] Houses. Besides that, he is a great fighter, both with regard to long-ranged as well as to close combat weaponry, even though he believes more in tactics and technique instead of rampant savageryferociously.¹

Unlike most Wolves, who value honesty and detest subterfuge, Torin is fascinated and enthralled by the tangled intrigues found among the wealthy and powerful of [[Terra]], which he keenly observes, especially between the great [[Navigators|Navigator]] Houses. In his appearance, he aims for a look of foppish elegance after the fashion of Terra's nobility, in contrast to the wilder style of most Wolves: he keeps his hair neat and maintains a carefully sculpted mustache and beard. He is also known to wear perfumes.  Despite his finery, he is a deadly fighter in both ranged and close combat, and fiercely loyal to his fellow Wolves. He has a firm friendship with [[Haegr]], while always teasing him about his body and appetite. In addition he remains a worthwhile friend to  ===Terra===Torin welcomed [[Ragnar Blackmane]] to Terra when Ragnar was first assigned to the Wolfblade. He educated Ragnar on several important aspects of his new position, and helps fought alongside him on several combat missions, including defending the [[Celestarch]] of [[House Belisarius]] from an assassination attempt. Torin himself finished off the [[Imperial Assassin]] [[Xenothan]] after Ragnar had subdued him.¹ ===Hyades===Torin, Haegr, and Ragnar were among the Wolfblades who accompanied Lady [[Gabriella Belisarius]] to [[Hyades]], on an inspection tour of the [[promethium]] mines. With the others, they became caught up in the [[Thousand Sons]] plot to provoke war between the Wolves and the [[Dark Angels]] Space Marines, and, again, acquitted himself honorably. When the Wolfblades were recalled to [[Fenris]] for debriefing, Ragnar was amused to see Torin letting his hair and beard grow, and eschewing his normal elegance - as if being back among other Wolves had reminded Torin of his true origins.² ===Charys===Torin, Haegr, and Ragnar also accompanied Gabriella on a secret mission to deal [[Charys]] to thwart the Thousand Sons' plan. Torin helped break into the shrine of the [[Chaos Sorcerer]] [[Madox]], though he was severely wounded. He survived the battle and returned to Terra with Gabriella, though he was sorely grieved by the strange world death of Haegr. Decades later, Ragnar, as a [[TerraWolf Lord]], reflected that he had not seen Torin since their parting after the Charys campaign, and, for all he knew, both he and Gabriella were still on Terra.¹³
