Hingrir Icemountain
Hingrir Icemountain is a Space Wolves Battle Leader of the Wolf Lord Engir Krakendoom's Great Company.[1]
Sometime in M42, he took part in defending the Imperial island city of Sorilia from an Ork invasion that had overwhelmed its world. All hope of defeating the Xenos was lost, but Sorilia was being used as an evacuation center and streams of people swarmed it, to reach the safety of Mass-conveyors that would transport them off world. Icemountain led the contingent of Wolf Lord Krakendoom's Great Company that defended the only remaining bridge connecting Sorilia to its world's main continent. They fought ferociously to stop a neverending tide of Orks from reaching the city, but Icemountain knew they could not keep the Xenos from crossing the bridge indefinitely. As more of his Battle-Brothers began to die and their ammo ran low, the Battle Leader informed the Imperial forces garrisoning the bridge that they would finally need to destroy the bridge. He was told, though, that it would take at least a day to clear the bridge of people and ready it for demolition. Despite their dwindling numbers the Great Company held and when the bridge was finally cleared, they began to be evacuated by their dropships. Icemountain ensured he was the last to escape and the final bridge to Sorilia was destroyed soon afterwards. Though Icemountain was left feeling defeated by the battle, the Battle Leader knew Krakendoom's Great Company would claim their vengeance upon the Orks.[1]
