Arjac Rockfist

Arjac Rockfist, also known as The Man-Mountain, Grimnar's Champion and the Anvil of Fenris is the personal champion of the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter. Arjac was formally a blacksmith of the Bear Claw tribe of Fenris, whose true skills lie not in the forge, but in the crucible of battle. His incredible strength and fortitude so impressed the Great Wolf that he was made his personal champion even before he was inducted into the Space Wolves.

History
Arjac Rockfist life began as a blacksmith of the Bear Claw tribe. Already he was renowned as a giant of a man possessed of prodigious strength. Though he spoke little, he was no mere simpleton. When he was elevated to the esteemed ranks of the Sky Warriors he keenly missed his Iron Priest brethren and someday hoped to revisit his former life at the furnace. But to any who witness his legendary rampages in the heat of battle know that Arjac's true skills lie not in the forge, but in battle. During a particularly hot year the Iron Priests were busy in their forges to recognise the dire portents of an imminent attack, for algae covered the shores of the Iron Isles and around each volcano the vegetation had grown to surreal proportions. Not all the monsters that live in the oceans of Fenris are confined to the briny depths. A thousand of Kraken-spawn boiled out of the seas of Fenris, and soon the brotherhood of the Iron Isles found themselves sorely pressed.

Left with no choice, the senior Iron Priest Hengis Blackhand ordered the vaults sealed against the tide of creatures, trapping hundreds of good men outside on the volcano slopes. Rockfist did not agree with Hengis' decision. Wasting little time on words, Arjac smashed his way out of the vaults with his hammer and forced open an escape route for those caught in the path of the alien tide. Almost all of the trapped men made it inside, but the last dozen Iron Priests turned and stood with Rockfist to bar the vaults once more, setting their feet firmly as the first wave of alien horrors struck. Less than two hours later the skies above the Iron Isles were filled with a hundred Thunderhawk gunships. Those within could see that the entire archipelago was teeming with kraken-things but for one exception - a lone figure surrounded by black-carapaced monsters and the crackling blue arcs of a Thunder Hammer in full swing.

Logan Grimnar and his men quickly joined the raging battle below, quickly savaging it and, with the help of the other Great Companies, drove it back into the sea. Arjac's body was dug out from under a mountain of chitin and scythes limbs, still plugging the entrance to the vaults. He was given to the Chapter's Wolf Priests, who brought him back from the threshold of Morkai's realm. So impressed was he by the Fenrisian warrior's incredible display of strength and resilience that Arjac was made the Great Wolf's champion on the spot. Since that day, Arjac has earned his place in Logan Grimnar's Wolf Guard a dozen times over, his hammer never resting for long. Despite his modesty, not even Arjac can deny that he has a rare gift for crushing the mightiest of foes.
