*{{Main|Hunt for the Wulfen}}
The Wulfen of the the [[13th Great Company]] openly returned to the Imperium in the closing years of the [[41st Millennium]], rescuing [[Harald Deathwolf]] and his forces from a [[Chaos]] ambush during the [[Battle of Nurades]]. In the aftermath of the battle, the Wulfen were brought before [[Great Wolf]] [[Logan Grimnar]] and [[Wolf Priest]] [[Ulrik]]. Ulrik proclaimed that the return of the Wulfen was an omen that [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]]'s return was imminent. A fierce debate over the future of the [[Chapter]] and what to do with the Wulfen erupted. Ultimately, [[Ragnar Blackmane]] proclaimed that the Wulfen be gathered and brought to [[Fenris]] before they were found by the [[Inquisition]] or other [[Imperial]] authorities. Thus, the [[Great Company|Great Companies]] of the Space Wolves set off to gather the Wulfen, which were now being spotted near [[Warp Storm]]s, in the hopes they could lead them to the Space Wolves' lost Primarch.{{Fn|4a}}
Worryingly, it appears that close proximity to or contact with one of the Wulfen may now be sufficient to infect their uncorrupted [[Space Wolves|brethren]], thus meaning the "Curse of the Wulfen" has become contagious.{{Fn|4b}} The [[Wolf High Priest]] [[Ulrik]] had hoped that the [[Primaris Space Marines|Primaris]] could be the key to a cure for the affliction; however, recent events at [[Smelter's Heap]] have confirmed that these new [[brother]]s are also susceptible to the ''Curse''.{{Fn|5}}.
