'''Leman Russ''' is the [[Primarch]] of the [[Space Wolves]] [[Chapter]] of [[Space Marines]].

==Youth==

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 adopted by a [[Fenrisian Wolf|Fenrisian she-wolf]] and raised among the wolves, with his two wolf brothers "Freki" and "Geri".

Just weeks later, Russ was placed at the head of his Legion (newly named the [[Space Wolves]]) and joined 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 reputably, the blade could cleave the ice mountains of Fenris in half.

==Horus Heresy==

Many years passed, and many more battles. Thousands of worlds were reconquered into the [[Imperium]], but eventually the golden age came to an end. The [[Horus Heresy]] and Leman Russ were intertwined to begin with, but they were absent from the final battles. The Emperor sent Leman Russ and his Space Wolves to deal with [[Magnus the Red]] and the [[Thousand Sons]] legion, that the Emperor believed to be the true heretic. Prospero was assaulted and bombarded, thousands died within days. In the final battle between Russ and Magnus, it is said that Russ blinded Magnus and then broke the Cyclops' back, and just as Russ was about to deliver the final blow, Magnus said a word of power and sunk into the ground.
