Chapter History
Ultima Founding

As the 41th millenium came to a close and the forces of Chaos grew stronger,a miracle happened Roboute Guilliman Primarch of the Ultramarines was revived and with this came the arrival of the Primaris Marines,Guilliman ordered that the current chapter of Space Marine are reinforced with the new Primaris but also creating entire chapters made of them.This is were the Wild Wolves come into play,descended from the Gene-Seed of the savage Leman Russ -The Wolf king,along several other newly formed Space Wolves successors the Wild Wolves were actually successful and did not succomb to the Canis Helix.

The Indomitus crusade

To counter the forces of Chaos and help the Imperium Guilliman with Custodes,Sister of Silence and Primaris started a campaign which will be known as the Indomitus crusade,during this crusade the future Wild Wolves were quickly seen as savage and unforgiving.

Following this Crusade the Wild Wolves now a fully fledged chapter decided to settle on the world of Fjörgyn,where they quickly made fortications and also quickly sent Great Companies to aid the Imperium in battle.

Birth of the Alpha

The current Great Alpha of the Chapter,Brynjar was an aspirant of the Space Wolves and also a great hunter slaying an entire pack of Fenrisian Wolf by himself,this peaked the interest of Belisarius Cole the Arch-magos Dominus and creator of the Primaris,he captured the young aspirant and sent him to the depths of Mars where he would be tested and slowy converted into a Primaris,however as the process continued over the millennias his inner-beast began to merge with him changing him forever,he became more savage and feral this is what unintentionnaly created the process of merging with one's inner beast.

The Wolves and The Hunters

Not long after becoming a fully fledged chapter,the Wild Wolves quickly found one of their brother Chapter,The Wild Wolves and the Bloodied Hunters fought together againt the Sons of Torment warband,the sheer savagery of the Wild Wolves impressed the Bloodied Hunters which can be said by the Wild Wolves,the two chapters quickly becamed allies fighting alongside each other on numerous occasions.

One of such occasions was when the Wild Wolves fought the Sons of Torment Chaos warband where the Wild Wolves were overwhelmed by the traitors and were about to lose the fight however the Bloodied Hunters chapter came to help their Brother Chapter win against the heretics however the Bloodied Hunters were not alone they were three other Chapters with them,the Dusk Howlers,the Crimson Prowlers and the Dawn's Wolves,as all of them joined forces against the servants of Timor,together they were an unstoppable force.

Chapter Beliefs
Religion

"May you find yourself in the Hunting Grounds Brother..."

- A Wolf Shaman (Chaplain) saying his last blessing to a dying battle brother

The Wild Wolves revere greatly the Emperor calling him the All-father,they revere him as much as their primarch.The Chapter also believe in the being known as the Wild Wolf (believed to be a incarnation of Russ),this being in Fjörgynian culture is the god of the hunt,it is believed that when a member of the chapter's dies the Wild Wolf will lead him to the "Hunting Grounds" where he could hunt for all eternity,the "Hunting Grounds" are the Heavens of Fjörgynian culture,ruled by the All-father this landscape contains the best games that an hunter would ever want.This is the reason why the Chapter does not use dreadnoughts as for them it does not allow the warrior to go the Hunting Grounds and thus join the All-father.

Releasing the inner-beast

The Wild Wolves have developped a special method to make one with their inner beasts and thus releasing an unimaginable amount of savagery to their ennemies,however this process is only teached to the most skilled veterans of the chapter as this process is dangerous and could lead to madness,the exact method of how they do so is unknown but hints point that it is a form of meditation that allows the warrior to stay focused.

Deathwatch Service
For a Wild Wolf to be sent to the Deathwatch is a punishment as they are separated from the Pack and thus can not take as much pleasure for Hunting with his brothers instead having to hunt with total strangers however it has been noted that some Wild Wolves separate themselves from the Pack to go to the Longwatch if it's the case the Battle-Brother is designated with the title Lone Wolf.One notable exemple is Bjõrn the feral who is known within the Deathwatch for slaying countless xenos during his time in the Deathwatch.
