Wolf Lord Kalnar the Defiant

Space Wolves Campaign Character


Editor's Notes: This character was submitted by John Krizan, and is a character that he played in a campaign, working it up from lowly Scout to mighty Wolf Lord. This seems to be from a campaign in which role-playing took an important part, and that is why some parts may not fit exactly with what is written in the official GW Codices. Role-Playing is the one element that can add enjoyment to your games, and I highly recommend you try adding an element of role-playing to campaigns. The points cost of the Sword of Kalnar has been slightly edited.

Kalnar seems to have been marked by Russ as a youth when,as a young Woulfscout on the Hiveworld of Alcatran,his squad infiltrated the lair of the Cult of the Four Armed Emperor placing a teleport homer within the Patriarchs chamber.The battle was fierce, but the squad emerged from the battle intact and his Sgt announced that the squad were now full fledged Space Marines. The following apply only if taken as Wolf lord
As a Blood claw Kalnar was a fierce warrior, his squad always at the forefront of battle.Although they somtimes disreguarded orders and received frequent loses they were nearly always victorious.One such loss cost Kalnar his leg.It was deep within the jungles of Tckar IV, were evidence of pre-fall technology had been discovered which the Space wolves were sent to recover. Upon arrival the Wolves were soon faced with an arriving Ork invasion, hopelessly out numbered ,Kalnar's squad held the Orks at bay on the outskirts of a hastily constructed firebase. While attacking an Ork dreadnought, his leg was caught within it's power claw, severing it at the hip. Following the battle the Wolf priests were able to fit him with a cybernetic leg as his rank did not warrant either a bionic or biological one. This would serve to remind him of his mortality and tempered by this knowledge he soon advanced to the ranks of the Grey hunters.
It was after a battle with the Thousand Sons in which his squad held off 2 squads of terminators untill reinforcements could arrive, that he was advanced to Wolf guard status.As a Wolfguard Kalnar was picked to participate in the traditional re-enactment of the battle between Lord Russ and Lion El'Jonson. Armed with power sword and power fist he met the Dark Angels champion. The DA was being beaten back when, in a move of cowardice ,he dropped a Blind grenade disorienting Kalnar. Using this to his advantage he struck out, cleaving Kalnar's arm off. Fortunately for Kalnar his power armor sealed his wound and injected him with the necessary drugs to stay on his feet. Enraged, he struck out crushing the Dark Angels skull thus securing victory for the Wolves. After the battle Kalnar received a Bionic arm and to this day retains a hatred for the Dark Angels.
Currently Kalnar leads his own Great company .His Banner, that of the Great Devourer, has flown over many worlds and as his renown grows so do visions of Lord Russ. The Rune priests within his household have begun analysis of these dreams and talk grows daily of another Great Hunt.
