==Overview==
The Blood Wolves were once the Great Company of Svane Vulfbad, [[Wolf Lord]] of the Space Wolves [[Space Marine Chapter]]. He became so disillusioned with the grinding workings and soul-killing bureaucracy of the [[Imperium]] that he and his Company turned to the worship of Chaos, and more particularly to the faith of the Blood God Khorne.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
In 913.M41 Wolf Lord [[Harald Deathwolf]] and his Great Company were charged by the [[Great Wolf]] [[Logan Grimnar]] to track down and execute the notorious Traitor warband and their leader. Deathwolf and his company eventually located Vulfbad in the Cliedes System, tracking their elusive quarry to the storm-wracked moon of Gallimius. Deathwolf rode his ferocious Thunderwolf through the planet's ferrite dust storms at the head of a small strike force of [[Wolf Scouts]]. The visibility was so bad that Deathwolf had to track his quarry purely by scent, but he later claimed the stink of rank sweat and treachery was so strong it was child's play to follow.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
