Summary

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolves, was one of the twenty genetically-engineered sons of the Emperor, scattered across the galaxy by the forces of Chaos. He was discovered on the death world of Fenris, where he was raised by a pack of wolves before being taken in by a Fenrisian king. Growing into a warrior of unmatched strength and savagery, he eventually proved himself to the Emperor in a legendary duel and was granted command of the VI Legion. During the Great Crusade, Russ and his Space Wolves became known as the Emperor’s executioners, unleashed to bring compliance to the most defiant worlds and to hunt down traitors with ruthless efficiency. His fierce loyalty to the Emperor and his role as an enforcer of Imperial law made him both feared and respected among his brother Primarchs, particularly as tensions between them grew in the years leading to the Horus Heresy.
