Kjarl Grimblood
Kjarl Grimblood is a Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves[1] and commander of Grimbloods.[4] A fierce rival of Sven Bloodhowl, Kjarl is known for his impeccable foresight. It is said that he has a gift, and is able to see the future in the flames. His Great Company favors Flame Weaponry, boasting twelve Land Raider Redeemers. As a result, his Grey Hunters have a special rite of passage - once a Grey Hunter has killed his prey with flame, he has earned the right to paint his face with blood before each battle.[1]
It is known that he fought with the Draxian Hegemony in the Battle of Medes 841.[2]
In the end of M41 during the Hunt for the Wulfen, Kjarl and his warriors defeated a host of Daemons led by the Blue Scribes in the Hades Reach and recovered a handful of Wulfen.[3] Later during the Siege of the Fenris System Kjarl and his Grimbloods fought with the Daemons of Tzeentch in the ancient heartwoods of Oshva Weald on Fenris itself. Kjarl divided his forces in two parts and managed to catch Daemons in pincers. Caught between the two jaws of Grimblood’s trap, the Flamer of Tzeentch were annihilated. After the battle Kjarl had a vision where The Fang was in magical flames, so Wolf Lord shared this information with the only person he could trust — Rune Priest Svangthir Ashbeard (because Kjarl didn't want people to talk that he have some strange 'visions'). Wise Rune Priest listened to him and agreed because his own divinations told him the same thing - soon the Fang will be attacked by Chaos forces.[5]
