They were thought to have been destroyed while fighting alongside the [[Black Templars]], during a [[Tyranid]] invasion on their [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], [[Varadon]] in 987.[[M41]]{{Fn|1a}}. However a strike force of the Shadow Wolves later came to the aid of [[Cadia]], during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] and joined the [[Imperial]] forces' efforts to retake the [[Chaos]] held [[Kasr Belloc]]{{Fn|2}}. It is not known, though, how many of the Shadow Wolves were able to escape Cadia's destruction, at the [[Despoiler]]'s hands.{{Fn|3}}
==TriviaNotes==The Black Library author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, wrote the Shadow Wolves as a reference to loyalist Luna Wolves, as a gift to his wife who was a fan of the Luna Wolves.{{Fn|4}} On the forum Warseer, Aaron Dembski-Bowden stated that the Shadow Wolves were likely [[Imperial Fists]] descendants with dark purple armour. He went on to say that they have a large number of [[Mark VI Power Armour]] helmets and were both extremely [[Codex Astartes]]-compliant and extremely independent.{{Fn|5}}
