[[Rogal Dorn]] initially rejected the Codex Astartes and enmity developed between him and Guilliman. Dorn called Guilliman a coward, citing his lack of participation in the defense of the [[Imperial Palace]]. Guilliman accused Dorn of being a traitor for refusing the Codex. This enmity quickly involved other Space Marine Legions and a rift developed, [[Leman Russ (primarch)|Leman Russ]] of the [[Space Wolves]] stood by the [[Imperial Fists]], while [[Jaghatai Khan]] of the [[White Scars]] and [[Corax]] of the [[Raven Guard]] supported the [[Ultramarines]]. A second civil war appeared likely when the Imperial Fists strike cruiser ''Terrible Angel'' was fired upon by the [[Imperial Navy]] in connection with Codex crisis.{{Fn|7}}
However, Dorn ultimately relented after spending seven days meditating in the [[pain glove]]. There, he concluded that the Legion could no longer serve the Emperor who had been and must serve the Emperor who was, which involved accepting the new order of which the Codex was a part.{{Fn|8}} Secretly however Dorn formulated his own protocol to possibly circumvent the Codex Astartes known as the [[Last Wall]].{{Fn|14}} The Space Wolves Legion, however, never fully accepted the new doctrine. Rather they held sacred the teachings of their Primarch. One of the few ideals the Codex implemented that the Space Wolves Legion actually followed was the succession of Chapters. However, the Space Wolves Legion was never very large. That combined with the genetic instability of the legion gene-seed lead to the Legion only founding one successor Chapter, the ill-fated [[Wolfbrothers]].{{Fn|9}}
