Hengis Blackhand
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Hengis Blackhand was a senior Iron Priest of the Space Wolves. He was the senior Priest in charge of the Iron Isles, on the day when a thousand krakens boiled out of the ocean and attacked the Wolves' stronghold. Knowing they were vastly outnumbered by the monsters, Blackhand reluctantly ordered the gates sealed, trapping hundreds of men on the slopes of the mountains.[1]
His order was obeyed, but not before Arjac Rockfist rushed outside and held the gates open, allowing those trapped outside to take refuge in the vaults. The gates were finally sealed, leaving Arjac and a dozen volunteers to hold off the kraken. Only Arjac survived (barely), an awesome feat that elevated him from Iron Priest to Logan Grimnar's personal champion.[1]
