The [[Canis Helix]] bonded with Logan as though he had been born to become a Space Marine, and in time the young warrior was inducted into [[Asvald Stormwrack]]’s [[Great Company]] as a [[Blood Claw]]. Logan proved his skill and valour repeatedly in wars across the Sea of Stars, taking to the life of a Sky Warrior as easily as if he had been sailing the seas of Fenris. However, what made the future Wolf Lord stand out from his brothers was not just his bravery or his cunning, but the boundless charisma he wielded like a weapon. His easy grin and ready jests earned him the trust of everyone he met, even the old and cynical Long Fangs of the company, who grudgingly admitted they had warmed to the whelp.{{Fn|3}}
After over a century of war and unparalleled heroism, Logan Grimnar had risen to earn a place among Asvald’s [[Wolf Guard]], often keeping the counsel of the Wolf Lord and always close to his side. As always, the Wolf Priests kept close watch on Grimnar, and Ulrik taught the young warrior all there was to know about the traditions and history of the Chapter. In the 390s.[[M41]], Logan Grimnar accompanied Ulrik to try and claim the [[Fist of Russ]] during the [[Macharian Crusade]], working alongside the then-rising hero [[Lord Solar]] [[Macharius]].{{Fn|4a}} He then led a Space Wolves strike force in the [[Macharian Crusade]] and came to personally respect [[Lord Solar]] [[Macharius (Character)|Macharius]].{{Fn|4}} During one of the final battles of the war on [[Loki (Macharian Crusade)|Loki]] Logan alongside [[Inquisitor]] [[Hyronimus Drake]] led the assault on the citadel of the traitorous general [[Richter (Macharian Crusade)|Richter]].{{Fn|13}}
In 415.[[M41]] when Asvald finally fell in battle against [[Orks]] for the [[Cyclopean Rift]], Logan Grimnar was elected [[Wolf Lord]] in his place by unanimous assent of his fellow Wolf Guard. Favored by the Chapter, he soon ascended to [[Great Wolf]] in 440.[[M41]] after the incumbent [[Sigvald Grimhammer]] was murdered by a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Succubus]].{{Fn|3}}
====Age and Length of Tenure====
*According to [[Codex: Space Wolves (5th Edition)|the 5th Edition Space Wolves codex]], as of the end of [[M41]], Grimnar has been [[Great Wolf]] for "over 700 years".{{Fn|2a}} However, according to [[Champions of Fenris - A Codex: Space Wolves Supplement|the Champions of Fenris Codex Supplement]], Grimnar was elected Great Wolf in '''440.[[M41]]''', just under 560 years from the end of M41.{{Fn|3}}
*In [[William King]]'s novel ''[[Fist of Demetrius(Novel)]]'', Grimnar is still a young warrior of the Space Wolves at the time of the [[Macharian Crusade]] ('''392-399.M41'''), which is inconsistent with him being Great Wolf for 700 years thereafter, and only slightly less inconsistent with him being elected [[Wolf Lord]] in 415.M41, and Great Wolf in 440.M41.{{Fn|4}}
