Wolves of Redemption
The Wolves of Redemption is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter comprised entirely of Primaris Space Marines, created from the lineage of the Space Wolves and raised during the Ultima Founding of 999.M41. After the disbanding of the Unnumbered Sons, the Primaris Space Marines of Leman Russ's lineage became members of either the Wolves of Redemption or any other lineage of Leman Russ.

Created after the end of the Indomitus Crusade by Lord Commander of the Imperium Guilliman from the ranks of his Unnumbered Sons. Guilliman, knowing of the Wulfen mutation, tasked the Wolves of Redemption to capture the Wulfen on Fenris and cleanse the Canis Helix within them and induct them into their chapter as Primaris Space Marines.

The Wolves of Redemption are notable for eliminating the unique Canis Helix, the Spirit of the Wolf gene mutation, found in already existing Wulfen on Fenris and returning the Wulfen back to their human state. These failed Neophytes of the chapter's progenitor, the Space Wolves, would then be inducted into the Wolves of Redemption and implanted with the new Primaris variant Astartes Gene-Seed as Aspirants.

Like their brother-chapter, the Wolfspear, the Astartes of the Wolves of Redemption fear that the Space Wolves will not see them as 'true inheritors of the legacy of the Wolf King and reject them. Though they know that some Space Wolves have accepted Primaris Space Marines like them into the ranks of their Chapter, there are still many within the Space Wolves who have not yet decided whether to accept Primaris Astartes as their own.

Chapter History
Skarlf Brightfang was an Astartes of the Space Wolves Legion who was well renowned from the events of the Horus Heresy. His performance drew the attention of Belisarius Cawl and Guilliman himself. And so, Skarlf was abducted from his brothers on Fenris and forcefully inducted into Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl's project to create a new type of improved Space Marine on the orders of Roboute Guilliman.

Skarlf spent many millenniums in and out of stasis as he and his fellow Primaris Space Marine candidates were experimented upon as Cawl sought to perfect the Primaris variant of Astartes gene-seed. It seemed the endless cycle of experimentation and psychological conditioning caused severe damage to Skarlf's hippocampus causing him to permanently lose his memories. These conditions would endure until Roboute Guilliman was unexpectedly resurrected and ordered Cawl to finally unleash the Primaris Space Marines and with them, the start of the Indomitus Crusade.

Reawakened from stasis with no memory of his past, Roboute Guilliman renamed this once great Space Wolf, Arturian Claud. The newly renamed wolf attained the rank of Commander in the Unnumbered Sons and commanded many divisions of Greyshields and regiments of the Astra Militarum until the end of the Indomitus Crusade.

Ultima Founding
By the end of the Indomitus Crusade, approximately 20,000 Primaris Astartes remained after the Battle of Raukos. Roboute Guilliman ordered the disbandment of the Unnumbered Sons. Approximately half of the Primaris Space Marines would form into new Primaris Chapters while the remaining half were reinforcements to the existing Space Marine Chapters.

Chapter Organisation
Unlike their genetic forebears, the Wolves of Redemption are regarded as a Codex Astartes-compliant Chapter, as their organisation, order of battle and tactical operations adhere closely to the tenets laid down in that most sacred of tomes to the Adeptus Astartes, due to Roboute Guilliman's influence during the Indomitus Crusade. There are, however, several noteworthy and substantial deviations from Codex-prescribed doctrine. Most notable among these are the use of certain honourific ranks and titles within the Chapter in place of the standard Space Marine ranks. These naming conventions extend to the chapter's companies as well:

Specialist Ranks

 * Lord Thane - A Lord Thane, also known as a Ancient or Standard Bearer is a hand-picked Veteran of a Space Marine Chapter who is chosen to bear the sacred battle standards of a Chapter or an individual company and is usually part of a Chapter or company Honour Guard.


 * Redemptor Priest - A Redemptor Priest is a unique officer class within the Chapter. A combination of the roles of Chaplain and Apothecary found in Codex-compliant Chapters, a Redemptor Priest administers to the physical and mental well-being of the Chapter's Astartes and also cleanses the Wulfen of Fenris.
 * Rune Priest - A Rune Priest, also known as a Librarian, is a specialist officer in the Wolves of Redemption Chapter. These grim warriors possess potent psychic powers whose form is based upon but not limited to the natives of Farron. The Rune Priests are also the keepers of the oral history of the Chapter. These secrets are passed on from Rune Priest to Rune Priest, each generation teaching the young Skalds the complex and archaic incantations of runic lore.


 * Steel Priest - A Steel Priest is the Chapter's equivalent of Techmarines. Sent off for training at Mars with the Adeptus Mechanicus like all Techmarines, the Steel Priests maintain the Chapter's equipment and forge all necessary replacement wargear.

Specialist Formations

 * Wolf Brethren - Equivalent to the elite members of a standard Codex-compliant Chapter's Veteran 1st Company. They are the chapter's greatest warriors and are the pride of the Chapter. Tasked with forming the "point of the spear" of the chapter, they went to where the fight was thickest, their attack was directed usually at destroying the heart of an opposing target or conducting the decapitation strike of an enemy force. The Wolf Brethren exemplified the might and courage of the 'Sons of Russ' and often wore a tabard and gold trims on their black pauldrons to signify their elite status.

Chapter Homeworld
The Wolves of Redemption were gifted with the Ultramaran world of Farron. Farron is a Agri-World that is technologically advanced and profitable. It is a vast world, with soaring mountain ranges, wide river valleys and huge swamps that cover the southern landmasses. The people of Farron are tough and hardy, making them excellent recruits for the Chapter and should things go amiss, capable individuals.

Although Farron is the Wolves of Redemption's homeworld and is where most of the chapter's Neophytes come from, the Wolves of Redemption also recruit from a number of worlds within the Sub-sector. The known Wolves of Redemption recruiting worlds:
 * Farron -
 * Ariamus Prime -
 * Veimar -
 * Pharros -
 * Tseldora -

Chapter Belief
The Wolves of Redemption chapter believes that the Codex Astartes, written by Roboute Guilliman, offers an excellent series of guidelines for what it meant to be an Astartes, but that it was not sacred writ to be followed soullessly and automatically. They believe that the spirit of the Codex was more important than its letter and that how one chose to live out the directives contained within it truly determined if one was an Astartes or not.

Chapter Gene-Seed
The Wolves of Redemption Gene-Seed does show signs of the Canis Helix but due to Cawl's experiments it has been stabilized despite this they still show the feral brutality and savage drive in war. This stability while not perfect and as high as other chapters like the Ultramarines it does mean the process of turning into Wulfen are zero stopping when the Battle-Brothers gain their elongated canines and wild hair.
