Russ' people would seek out their master if it took the rest of time to do it. So did the twelve Great Companies take to their voidships and sail forth in separate directions across the Sea of Stars. From the day of Russ' disappearance, Bjorn has given his all to prove himself worthy in his missing primarch's stead, first as Great Wolf, then as a Dreadnought, and finally to this day as the spiritual and moral compass for the entire Chapter. Only the ancient Wolf Priest Ulrik knows Bjorn well enough to suspect that he still craves the benediction of Russ, and that Bjorn will know no peace until he fights alongside his primarch once more. During the Battle of Yarant, a badly wounded Russ gave Bjorn the Spear of Russ and command of the legion during their apparent last stand. However Bjorn's end did not come at Yarant, as he was convinced by Corvus Corax to evacuate the world from besieging traitor forces. [10] When he was still counted amongst the living, Bjorn was outfitted as befitted a member of Leman Russ' retinue of Wolf Guard: garbed in a mighty suit of Artificer Armour, one hand a master-crafted Wolf Claw which he always wielded with tremendous skill, and in his other he bore a bolter modified with a pistol grip, allowing him to fire the weapon one-handed. Bjorn's Wolf Claw was not so much a weapon as a replacement for his lost organic hand, for the Iron Priests had refused his request for an augmetic replacement. As such, he had stolen the Wolf Claw and chose to use it as an appendage and weapon alike.

The Liber Hereticus contains rules for all nine Traitor Legions, including Rites of War, Primarchs, Legion-specific units and wargear. If you’re of a more Loyalist bent, the Liber Astartes contains the same for the nine Loyalist Legions. Bjorn the Fell-Handed, also known as " the Eldest," " Trueclaw," " Revered One," and " Last from the Company of Russ," is a Venerable Mars Pattern Mark V Dreadnought and former Great Wolf of the Space Wolves Chapter. He is also the oldest living Space Marine in the Imperium of Man, for in his mortal life he fought beside the Emperor and his primarch, Leman Russ, during the Great Crusade and the bitter wars of the Horus Heresy. On his other arm Bjorn also bears a mighty ranged weapon: most often an Assault Cannon, which is to a Dreadnought like the standard bolter is to an Astartes. However, if the situation requires it, the Iron Priests will equip Bjorn with a Plasma Cannon, Helfrost Cannon , or Twin-linked Lascannons.

Bjorn the Fell-Handed as a Mark V Venerable Dreadnought during the Battle of The Fang on Fenris in M32 from the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion. Shortly after his internment in a Dreadnought chassis, the Chapter's Iron Priests fashioned a unique Wolf Claw sized to match his massive chassis in honour of his favoured weapon in his former life. Bjorn wields this mighty weapon, known as Trueclaw, as deftly as ever, ensuring that he continues to live up to his name. It is much more devastating than the weapon he bore as a living Astartes, and is additionally equipped with a built-in Heavy Flamer that allows Bjorn to carbonize anything escaping his claw's attentions.

Every standard year after his disappearance, Russ' place was laid at the same feast. Every year his drinking horn was filled should he return. For seven long, painful Terran years the Space Wolves waited patiently for their lost Wolf-King to return to them. After seven years, the surviving Wolf Lords gathered and elected Bjorn their leader, becoming the Chapter's first warden in the primarch's name. So it was that, when it became clear that Russ was not to return, Bjorn reluctantly took his primarch's place as master of the Chapter, becoming the first Great Wolf.So ancient and powerful was Bjorn’s spirit that, while he slept in a Dreadnought sarcophagus, he had stood vigil from atop the hexagrammic ramparts of The Fang’s echo in the Warp. Thus Bjorn has become a defender of the Fang and Fenris itself, battling the attempts of Daemons to materialize in the realm of the Wolves.
