'''Tra''' (''three'' in [[Fenrisian]]{{Fn|1a}}), known as the '''Eagles Keepers'''{{Fn|7}}, was the 3rd [[Great Company]] of the [[Space Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
Tra was noted as being a particularly superstitious yet nonetheless pragmatic Great Company which particularly valued the role of [[Skjald]].{{Fn|1b}} They had a specialty in [[Assault Squad]]s and support armour.{{Fn|7}} Gaining prominence throughout the [[Great Crusade]], for a time they were given the honor of custodianship over [[The Fang]] on [[Fenris]]. Like the rest of the Space Wolves, they took a grim pride in their role as the [[Emperor]]'s executioners.{{Fn|1a}} By the end of the Great Crusade, Tra was led by [[Wolf Lord|Jarl]] [[Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot]] and displayed itself as ruthlessly efficient during the extermination of the [[Olamic Quietude]].{{Fn|1b}} Over the course of this campaign, the [[Human]] academic [[Kasper Ansbach Hawser]] became bonded with Tra as their Skjald, in particular with his handler [[Bjorn|Bear]].{{Fn|1c}}
As the [[Horus Heresy]] erupted, Tra was one of the primary Space Wolves forces during the [[Burning of Prospero]], where they suffered grievous casualties and considered themselves "hollow" both physically and spiritually in the aftermath.{{Fn|1d}} As a result of Prospero and the subsequent devastating [[Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula]] against the [[Alpha Legion]], Tra [[Pack Leader]] [[Bjorn]] became a key advisor and confidant of Space Wolves [[Primarch]] [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]].{{Fn|2}} With Bjorn growing ever-closer under the Primarch, Tra fought alongside Russ at both the [[Battle of Trisolian]]{{Fn|3a}} and the [[Battle of Yarant]].{{Fn|4}} They arrived with Russ at [[Terra]] just as the [[Siege of Terra|siege]] was lifted and acting as Russ' emissary, Bjorn worked with the [[Dark Angels]] and [[Imperial Fists]] in organizing a new crusade against the fleeing Traitors.{{Fn|5}}
After the Heresy, the Space Wolves Great Company's no longer went by their previous numeric designations,{{Fn|6}} so what precisely became of Tra and its members is unknown save that Bjorn still lives as the most venerated [[Dreadnought]] within the [[Chapter]] and one of the oldest beings within the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|8}}
