Ottar

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Ottar the White was a Space Wolves Wolf Lord, who led his White Wolves Great Company to Cadia's defense, during the 13th Black Crusade.

As the battle raged across the Fortress World however, he spotted the Warband of the Chaos Lord Zufur attempting to remove one of Cadia's Pylons. Ottar vowed not to let that happen and led the White Wolves to battle against the Warband. However during the battle, Zufur's Warband separated Ottar from his Great Company and though he fought valiantly, the Wolf Lord was severely wounded. Zufur stopped his Warband from killing Ottar however - as he wanted that honour for himself. The Chaos Lord then stabbed Ottar with a Daemon Sword, which devoured the Wolf Lord's soul[1a]. His death though, sent the White Wolves into a vengeful frenzy and they tore into Zufur's Warband. Such was the ferocity of the Warband and Great Company's attacks however, that they destroyed each other and only the Space Wolf Skarp-Hedin survived the battle. Afterwards, a mournful Hedin apologized to Ottar for failing to save him and then grabbed the Wolf Lord's power axe, Lightbringer, before seeking more foes to kill.[1b]

Note

Ottar is not among the Space Wolves Chapter's Wolf Lords named, during the 13th Black Crusade. Either the author made a mistake, or Ottar and his Space Wolves are implied to be part of the 13th Great Company.
