Sven Bloodhowl

Sven Bloodhowl is a Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter, one of twelve legendary warriors who lead the Great Companies into battle. The warriors of Bloodhowl's Great Company tattoo themselves with runes, interlacing designs and scenes from their own sagas. Sven's own saga is so extensive that every inch of his body is tattooed. He has taken to using the skins of his victims as a canvas with which to chronicle his latest deeds. Sven has embraced the sign of the Fire Breather, a volcano that lies a hundred leagues north of their Chapter's mighty citadel, The Fang. At feast Sven and his men practice ever more dangerous acts of fire-breathing and the infamous walking conflagrations, which Bloodhowl likes to say "warms his men up nicely". Afterwards they like nothing more than washing heavily spiced meat down with flaming liquor. Bloodhowl goes to to war amidst a great horde of close combat specialists, and legend has it that his vanguard will breathe flame into the ranks of their foe, laughing evilly as they close in for the kill.
