'''Senavael''' is the first [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Wolfspear]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Like all of its initial members, he served in [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus]]' [[Unnumbered Sons]] forces, which was commanded by [[Lord Commander]] [[Guilliman]]. After the [[Battle of Raukos]], however, Senavael and the Fleet's other surviving [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] descended Unnumbered Sons, were formed into [[Wolfspear]] [[Chapter]]. Guilliman then charged them with watching over the [[Pit of Raukos]], to ensure no [[Chaos]] forces emerging from there would threaten the [[Imperium]]. They numbered 500 in total and Senavael was chosen as their first [[Chapter Master]], [[108/Beta-Kalapus-9.2]]'s would serve as their [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]]. [[Daemon]]s would strike there every night, though, and to make sure it was properly defended, Senavael commanded two [[Space Marine Companies|Companies]] to defend the world. As the Wolfspear were only at half strength, that left the remaining 3 Companies to patrol the Pit of Raukos.
Upon hearing this, the [[Chapter Master]] agreed to allow the [[Wolf Priest]] to stay and make his decision. Ketilsson accepted this and then made the [[Wolfspear]] [[Bjarni Arvisson]] his intermediary to the [[Successor Chapter]]. The three Space Wolves and Arvission would then dine together and share knowledge about their respective Chapters to each other. Then as night fell on Beta-Kalapus, the Space Wolves fought beside the Wolfspear against the [[Daemon]]s that daily invaded their [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]]. It was as the two forces clashed, that Ketilsson decided the Wolfspear were worthy and contacted his fleet. Aboard it, was the large force of Space Wolves, the [[Wolf Lord]] [[Logan Grimnar]] had granted him to bestow upon the Wolfspear if they passed Ketilsson's judgment. At the Wolf Priest's command they deployed to Beta-Kalapus and arrived shortly after the invading Daemons were defeated. With these new reinforcements, the Wolfspear was brought to a full 1000 [[Space Marines]] and with his task now done, Ketilsson departed with his fleet shortly afterwards.{{Fn|1}}
