Hvarl Red-Blade[3]

Hvarl Red-Blade was a Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. He was known as the Ravager and the Headsman of Koltor.[1]

By the time of the Burning of Prospero Hvarl Red-Blade was commander of the Space Wolves 7th[2] Great Company and had a reputation as a dourly humorous and often choleric-tempered warrior whose greatest joy was found on the battlefield. By Prospero he had commanded the 4th for some 50 years and was a veteran renowned for his scourging tactics and taking the heads of his enemies as trophies. He was known to tell a grand tale behind each head he collected. Though considered slightly insane by the rest of his Legion, he was nonetheless a highly respected Legion commander.[1]

In battle, Hvarl wielded the famed axe Hearth-Splitter.[4]
