This is the bio for a character that I created awhile back, he dosen't have any special rules he's just a Lone Wolf but all of the events in the story happened in actual games (even the avalanche, if anyone wants I'll explain how) but I may have tweaked them here and there for narrative reasons.
The tale of The Cursed one began just as the story of countless other brave Fenrisian warriors seeking to join the wolves in the sky. Among his people Armod was known as a quiet child and was often seen as different though he was a respected a warrior known for his skill on the hunt and indeed many a prey fell to his spear and axe. It was during one such hunt that as his small party tracked a wounded Ice Elk upon the slopes of a great mountain that an avalanche overtook him and his fellows; Armod alone clawed his way free from the snow and traveled back to his village, hearing of this deed Wolf Priest Thorgrim The Black sought out this lone survivor so that he may be raised amongst the gods for his actions. As a part of a claw training at Russvik Armod was seen as silent and grim by his brothers, interacting with the other aspirants only as much as he had to during combat practices and when the time finally came for his ascension to a Blood Claw many believe he was fated to be a Wolf Scout in time.
It was while on campaign against the brutal Orks invading Chandris V that Armod first came to be called The Cursed. While his squad was pinned down by enemy fire Armod, caught up in the furry of combat and unsettled to the affects of the canis helix charged forward like the berserker heroes of legend. As he charged the Orks bullets embedded themselves in his armor and his sergeants’ orders to halt were drowned out by the scream of incoming artillery. When Armod reached the enemy lines he reaped a great tally but for all the blood shed a greater blood had been lost that day, Armod was the only one of his pack to return to his company that day. The Wolf priest of the company believed this to be a mark of a hero, that Armod was protected by the Emperor. Others whispered that Armod was cursed and any who fought beside him were destined for a quick and bloody end.
Shortly after Armod took upon himself the oath of the Beast Slayer pledging to win a glorious death in battle in atonement for not having died beside his brothers and sergeant. One of the youngest of wolves to ever have sworn the oath Armod spent the next two hundred years hunting war zones across the galaxy for the greatest foes and the mightiest monsters. Each time he entered the fray it was with his brothers names on his lips and his blade in hand, and when the dust settled and the flames died it was Armod who emerged victorious, bloody and battered but with the enemy broken. Over the years Armods’ many heroic deeds have earned him great renowned amongst the wolves of space. The Wolf Priests speak of mighty battles such the Hunting of Trasix, a planet infested with the foul Tyranids. After boarding a Thunderhawk assigned to extract a cut off squad he launched himself from the rear hatch mid flight, landing amidst the endless Tyranid masses he sought out the great leader beast that directed the horde. After a long and glorious battle he took the beasts head severing the connection of the Hive Mind and allowing his brothers to route the remaining aliens. Or when the Forge World Cadmus came under siege from the traitorous Iron Warriors it was Armod who brought victory for it was he who sought the twisted monsters of Chaos and silenced the guns of the daemon engines, their owners having been shredded by well-placed melta charges.
Many a time over the centuries has Armod earned a place within the Wolf Guard of the Dragonborn Great Company, but believing he has not yet earned his reprieve had always refused. The greatest tragedy in the tale of The Cursed came upon the fields of Mugoru Quintus. While combating the uprising of the planets traitorous populous, Wolf Lord Halfdan Dragon Born received a distress call from a nearby moon under attack from the wretched slavers of the Dark Eldar. believing the rebels of Mugoru Quintus to pose little challenge Halfdan dispatched Armod to hunt down the Dark Eldar deeming that his skills would be more than enough to handle the incursion. Shortly after his departure the Rune Priests fighting alongside the company sensed a change in the current of the warp and within a matter of days a massive warp storm enveloped the planet, Halfdan in his pride would not leave those who had remained loyal to The Emperor to weather the storm of Chaos alone.
As Armod returned weeks later with fresh scars and the bloodstain of the Eldar warlord upon his axe he entered the system and immediately tried to contact his brethren, all of his hails were met with static. Three months later when the investigative fleet arrived from the fang to determine why the Dragon Born Company had lost contact they found desolate world strife with mutants, heretics and daemons, alone amongst the madness fought one warrior. So covered in blood and gore was his armor that at first he was unrecognizable and many initially mistook him for a follower of the Blood god. Many where enraged upon hearing his tale of his search for his comrades. When he arrived within the system he immediately sought to establish contact with his Lords ship the Dragons Maw, but instead in orbit around the planet where foul carrion ships of Chaos. The planet that had once been vivid greens and blues was now a barren hell twisted by the will of Chaos and the daemons which spawn from it. Descending to the planet he found the corpses of his battle brothers strewn upon a great monolith to the dark gods, daemons ate their flesh while cultists and traitor marines defiled their bodies. The Great Company of Halfdan Dragon Born had been lost but Armod remained, he fought and survived until reinforcements from the Fang arrived as well as fighting in the remainder of the campaign.
As the last of his company Armod now serves the Great Wolf directly, he does not feast or boast tales of his deeds; he has not spoken in neigh over a century. His sole purpose now is to die bringing death to his enemies and vengeance to his brothers. Akin to a force of nature amongst the Space Wolves he is only dispatched when the Great Wolf deems the situation dangerous enough that Armod might achieve his death and find peace for his tortured soul. But the Rune priests foresee a different future for The Cursed. They believe that Armod has a great role to play at the Wolf Time. Regardless of what Russ and The Emperor have planned for Armod Night wolf it is certain that the end that is mighty enough to slay such a man as he is an end that the entire galaxy should fear.
