Vurgir Greypelt is a member of the Space Wolves and served as the second in command of Wolf Lord Kjarl Grimblood's Great Company, during the Psychic Awakening.[1]

As the Great Waaagh! attacked the Imperium, Kjarl Grimblood took command of the Imperial effort to defend the Evraad System from a massive Deathskulls armada. The Orks were later lured into the Gnarion Reef, where Grimblood led Imperial warships in an ambush and Greypelt took part commanding the Herald of Morkai. The Deathskulls' warships outnumbered the Imperials, however, and the Orks soon turned the battle to their advantage. The Deathskulls then landed a devastating blow against the Imperial forces' morale, when they destroyed Grimblood's command ship, the Axe of Russ. With the Wolf Lord seemingly dead, the surviving Imperial warships looked to a shocked Greypelt for orders. He quickly took command, but while the Imperials had taken heavy losses so far, Greypelt realized the Deathskulls' armada still posed a threat to the Evraad System. With Grimblood having gathered all the Imperial warships in the System for the ambush, a determined Greypelt ordered the battle to continue as there was a chance to still claim victory. However he knew, that if the Deathskulls were not destroyed in this final attack, then there would be no other Imperial forces left to stop the Orks from claiming the Evraad System.[1]
