Brand Sabrewulf
Brand Sabrewulf is a veteran of the Space Wolf Chapter, who is currently serving in the Wolf Guard Haldor Icepelt's strike force, which is taking part in the War of Beasts on Vigilus.[1]
When the fortified water reservoirs of the Oteck Hivesprawl were corrupted during the War by the Claw of the Thirsting Wyrm Genestealer Cult, Haldor Icepelt led the strike force in tracking down the Xenos, so the Cult could be put to the torch. They eventually tracked down the Cult in one of Oteck's districts, but in the viscous battle that followed, Haldor was forced to use planted explosives against the Cult, which caused the entire district to collapse. In the chaotic aftermath, Brand was one of three Space Wolves that were buried in the rubble, but he later managed to free himself. Unfortunately he then found himself in the tunnels beneath Oteck, which were infested by the Thirsting Wyrm. This forced Brand to wage a one-man war against the Cult, in order to reach the surface, which ended with him killing the Thirsting Wyrm's Primus in a bloody duel. When the Astra Militarum was finally able to reclaim the destroyed district, they found Brand wounded, but alive. Upon his later recovery, Brand's knowledge of the underground tunnels beneath Oteck, proved to be invaluable to the Imperium's forces in the battles to come on Vigilus.[1]
