'''Logan Grimnar''', '''The Old Wolf, Fangfather''', and '''High King of Fenris''', has been the [[Great Wolf]] of the [[Space Wolves]] [[chapter]] for almost 700 years and is one of the oldest [[Chapter Master]]s in the [[Imperium]]. Logan, like his fellow Space Wolves, is a fearsome warrior with great martial pride. He has led his [[Great Company]] against many enemies of the [[Imperium]] and has shown a renowned thirst for battle, which some say, even rivals that of their legendary [[Primarch]], [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]]. He doesn’t tolerate any outside interference when running the Chapter, to the point where the Space Wolves have had numerous clashes with the [[Administratum]] and the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and this has lead to the accusations of [[heresy]] and treason.{{cite this}}
==History==
===First War for Armageddon===
[[Image:Grimnar.JPG|thumb|300px|right|Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf]]
In the [[First War for Armageddon]] the [[Space Hulk]], ''Devourer of Stars'', caught Imperial forces by surprise. Even worse the Chaos forces were led by the [[daemon]] Primarch, [[Angron]]. The forces of Chaos quickly defeated the Imperial forces at Armageddon Prime. Unbeknownst to the forces of Chaos, the Space Wolves were recently assigned to this sector and answered the Imperial forces' cry for help.{{cite this}}
By the time the forces of Chaos had come around for a new attack, they found a well organized Imperial force bolstered by Space Wolves. This was Logan's first real test as Wolf Lord.{{Fn|3}} Nonetheless Logan in all his foresight knew that he and the Space Wolves alone would not be able to defeat Angron's force. When the Daemon Primarch led the attack on the Imperial line, Logan played his ace, a full company of [[Grey Knights]]. At the great cost of many Grey Knights, they were able to banish Angron back to the [[Immaterium|Warp]]. With the defeat of their leader, the forces of Chaos were quickly crushed.{{cite this}}
As is standard [[Inquisition]] practice for those exposed to Chaos, even for those who have valiantly been involved in fighting against it, the remaining population of [[Armageddon]] was rounded up into labour camps and sterilized. While in the labour camps, the original population was left to die while Armageddon was repopulated. Logan Grimnar attempted to rescue as many survivors of Armageddon as he could from this fate, having his fleet escort troop ships to their destinations before they could be fired upon by Inquisition vessels. This eventually led his fleet into conflict with [[Inquisitor Lord]] [[Ghesmei Kysnaros]], and the two sides eventually agreed to negotiate terms to end the "Cold War" between the Ordo Malleus and Space Wolves in neutral space. However during the parlay, the Space Wolves fleet was betrayed and fired upon by the Inquisition and [[Grey Knights]] ships, with the Space Wolves losing four vessels and having a fifth crippled. Grimnar was brought aboard a Grey Knights ship to negotiate his "surrender", where he instead cut down [[Grey Knights Grand Master]] [[Joros]] for his breach of the laws of parlay before teleporting away to safety. Later, the crisis with the Inquisition escalated to all-out warfare when the Ordo Malleus, Grey Knights, and [[Red Hunter]]s besieged [[Fenris]] itself. During the fighting, Grimnar and a force of twenty [[Terminator]]s teleported aboard the Inquisition flagship ''Corel's Hope'' and the Old Wolf personally slew Kysnaros. However in the end, with the Space Wolves and Fenris taking heavy damage and with [[Bjorn|Bjorn the Fell-Handed]] all but commanding him to seek peace, Grimnar ordered his forces to withdraw and cease the fighting. But since the First War for Armageddon, Logan has never forgiven the [[Administratum]] and [[Inquisition]] for this act.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
===13th Black Crusade===
During [[Abaddon]]’s [[13th Black Crusade]], Logan was selected as supreme commander for the defending Imperial forces. Under his command many key victories were won. If it were not for his leadership, more of [[Cadia]] would have been in the hands of [[Chaos]]. At the [[13th Black Crusade_#The Battle for the Cadian Gate|Battle of Kasr Sonnen]], Logan and his [[Great Company]] and the Chapter Master of the [[Dark Angels]], [[Azrael]], defeated a force many times their size by putting aside their resentment of each other.{{cite this}}
==Wargear==
Logan wears an ornate suit of [[Terminator Armour]] with an integrated [[Storm Bolter]] known as the [[Armour of Asvald Stormwrack]] and carries the powerful axe [[Morkai (Axe)|Morkai]] into battle. The axe is from a [[Chaos Champion]]of [[Khorne]] Logan defeated in battle on [[Armageddon]]. He also rides the war chariot [[Stormrider]] drawn by his two [[Thunderwolves]], '''Tyrnak''' and '''Fenrir'''.{{cite this}}
