Since then, the subject of the 13th Company has become taboo among the Space Wolves, and it is forbidden to speak of them except in whispers.{{Fn|1c}}. The black stone on the Grand Annulus has come to represent all the Great Companies in the [[chapter]]'s history that have disappeared, been destroyed in battle, or turned renegade.{{Fn|1c}} Before their disappearance, their totem was the sign of the [[Wulfen]], but no Great Company has used that badge since the Heresy.{{Fn|1c}}
At some time in late [[M41]], the 13th Great Company was encountered by [[Ragnar Blackmane]] on the shadow-copy of [[Charys]] conjured by the Thousand Sons. Lord [[Bulveye]] was in command, though he was not forthcoming about the 13th Great Company's origins, or how the Great Company had fared in the 10,000 years since their departure.{{Fn|2}} A small number of the 13th Company's Wolves fought alongside Ragnar and his comrades to defeat the [[Chaos Sorcerer]] [[Madox]], thwarting a plot by the Thousand Sons to destroy the Wolves.{{Fn|2}} The 13th Great Company was also suspected to have saved Imperial forces under [[Black Legion]] attack in the [[Ormantep Raid]]{{Fn|6}}
Somehow, the hardy sons of Russ survived their journey through the Eye and emerged, long after they should have perished, during the [[13th Black Crusade]].{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|1d}} Given that they vanished before the [[Emperor]] was interred on the [[Golden Throne]], they have been missing for approximately 10,000 years.{{Cite This}} There are even rumours that Russ himself was their leader, although this was never proven.{{Cite This}}
