Led by the fearsome Hödin Ashenwulf, the renegade warband Wolves of the Eclipse gathers all the Space Wolves who followed their warleader in the revolt against the Imperium after the onslaught of the Fang.
Thriving on Garmrheim, the Warband has grown to the size of a Space Marine Chapter.
Located near the warp rift Eye of Terror, Garmrheim is a planet identical to their ancestral home Fenris, with the exception that the night does not exist.
There are two seasons: the one of the Frost, in which snow and ice continually cover the surface of the planet in the light of the pale sun, and that of the Eclipse, in which the Dead World is covered in shadows and cinder-like snow and transformed into a Daemon World with its inhabitants all twisted by the forces of Chaos.

Many of the warriors felt the touch of the chaos increasingly stronger, some became devotees to a particular dark God, but most of the chapter exploited the dark powers denying the Chaos Gods and seeing their king Ashenwulf as their only guide.



Loedhingar the Chained, the Red Stalker, the Blood Hunter of Khorne

Once one of Hödin's most trusted warriors, Loedhingar's deeds were legendary within the chapter, but after his captain's imprisonment and the massacre of his companions, his mind sank deeper and deeper into the shadows and when he came to contact with the demonic world Garmrheim, anger and thirst for blood that he had kept inside him exploded, attracting the favors of the blood god Khorne for every drop of blood that broke from his enemies.
Over the time, the martial skill told in his sagas was replaced by a blind ferocity that culminated in his mental and physical transformation. The Blood God itself, seeing the untapped potentiality of the warrior and his obstinacy to resist its dark touch decided to exploit the curse of his gene-seed, starting the process of transformation into Wulfen.
Reduced to little more than a beast, Loedhingar was thus corrupted by the blessings of the God, which filled him with a senseless rage and an unparalleled bloodlust, turning him into his personal hunter.
Thanks to his developed senses and his brutality in battle, the Blood-Hound of the Wolves of the Eclipse quickly became one of the most efficient fighters of the chapter, maintaining a semblance of reason only before his Lord and king, but forced to live in chains outside the battle because of the murderous madness that led him to seek blood and skulls in any living being, equally between enemies and allies.

Only in case of conflict his chains are broken, but precisely because of this his desire to kill is so powerful to corrupt the souls and bodies of all those around him with his mere presence, infecting them with the thirst for violence of Khorne itself and triggering in them the mutation of Canis Helix, twisting and transforming each of his allies into a ruthless hunter that will not stop until the skulls of their prey will be offered to the Chaos God.
