==Overview==
During the Horus Heresyheresy, [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ's]] personal Honour Guard and Elite warriors were named the [[Varagyr]] or '''''Wolf Guard''''' in the [[Fenrisian]] language.{{Fn|8}}.
The Wolf Guard are the greatest warriors of the Space Wolves [[Great Companies]]. It is their duty to lead packs into battle or provide a body guard to important members of the chapter on the battlefield, especially as the [[Wolf Lord]]. They are also often the leaders of squads, imparting their knowledge and experience on their younger charges.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Unlike other [[chapters]], age is not the main route into the Wolf Guard. Progress is generally dependent on bravery and heroism.{{Fn|1}} To enable them to perform their role properly, the Wolf Guard have access to the best equipment that the [[Great Company]] has to offer, including suits of [[Terminator armour]].{{Fn|1}}
[[Great Wolf]] [[Logan Grimnar]]'s Wolf Guard is so large that is is split into several smaller packs. However collectively, they are known as the '''Kingsguard'''.{{Fn|4a}}
