When the Primarchs were spread throughout the galaxy by the forces of [[Chaos]], one came to land in the far north west of the galaxy on a remote ice world named [[Fenris]]. If it had been any normal person, then he would have certainly died in the ice wastes almost immediately. He was supposedly picked up by a [[Fenrisian Wolf|Fenrisian she-wolf]] and raised among the wolves, with his two wolf brothers [[Freki]] and [[Geri]].
Russ then, after a period of recovery, swore fealty to the [[Imperium]]. Just weeks later, Russ joined his armies in the [[Great Crusade]]. He was armed with a thrice blessed suit of armour and a new sword forged from the maw of the Great Kraken [[Gormenjarl]] and, apparently, the blade could cleave the ice mountains of Fenris in half.
