One thing that sets the 13th Great Company apart from the rest of the Space Wolves is the large percentage of warriors who have succumbed to the [[Curse of the Wulfen]]. Whether the increased percentage of 13th Company Marines who have succumbed to the Curse is a result of their prolonged exposure to the Eye of Terror, or whether it existed before their disappearance, is unknown.{{Fn|4}} However, Space Wolf legend describes Wulfen as the '''Thirteenth Wolf''' which stalks all of the Space Wolves.{{Fn|5}}
==OrganizationOrganisation==Due to the lack of available reinforcements, resupply, or proper facilities, the 13th Company's organization organisation and equipment departs heavily from Space Wolf norms. The 13th Company maintains the dark grey colour scheme of the Pre-Heresy Space Wolves, on what little remains of their original equipment. Much of their armour and weaponry has been replaced with material scavenged from their fallen [[Chaos]] foes. Not surprisingly, their Company has almost no heavy equipment such as tanks, [[Terminators]] or [[Dreadnoughts]].{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|2}} Because of the impossibility of recruiting new brethren, there are no [[Blood Claw]]s in the 13th Company. Each and every Blood Claw has long since advanced to a higher rank.{{Fn|4}}

The core of a 13th Company warband is the '''Grey Slayers''', which fulfil the same role as [[Grey Hunters]]. The Company's assault specialists are the '''Storm Claws'''. They are equally experienced, but still more hot-headed and aggressive than the Grey Slayers. The key to the 13th Company's movement through the Warp are the [[Rune Priest (Space Wolves)|Rune Priest]]s. Because the Eye of Terror has unlocked hidden [[psychic]] powers in many recruits, the Company has no shortage of these highly gifted individuals.{{Fn|4}}
