Name: Bjorn the Fell-Handed
Universe: Warhammer 40K
Appearance:
Personality: Many see Bjorn as the oldest and wisest mind in the Imperium, due to his being the last living being to have faught alongside a Primarch. Although he is wise and battlethirsty, not many knew that he was a notorious womanizer. It's suspected that he might actually be the ancestor to many of the current Space Wolves... It's the reason that he was nicknamed "The Fellhanded" as, during one long hunt, he nipped behind a large bolder for some personal relief and was caught by Leman Russ, who loudly proclaimed to the rest of their group. "LO, IT SEEMS HE IS BESTING A MIGHTY FELL-BEAST WITH ONLY HIS HAND!!!"
Surprisingly enough, Bjorn has proven diplomatic skills, managing to avoid a war between the Space Wolves and Inquisition, after current Great Wolf, Logan Grimnar killed a Lord Inquisitor for ordering his men to fire upon civilians. An astounding feat, as none have ever convinced the Inquisition to rescind an order of Excommunicate Traitoris before, and none have since.
All in all, Bjorn can be best described in 5 words "Gumpy, Vicious, Randy Old Sod." Annoyed that he is forced to spend his time in a stasis pod, being woken up every millenium to tell the young ones what a great guy Leman Russ was, and not being allowed to go back to battle.
Quote ~ "Do you have any idea how pissing annoying it is that every time I go to sleep, I wake up to find more Wolf crap has been loaded onto me?! I can barely move anymore!!!"
Powers/Skills:
Immense Combat Experience: Was a warrior for the Space Wolves for over 5000 years and showed his immense combat prowess on many occasions, most notably during the Battle of The Fang, in which he faced a Daemon Primarch in single combat and managed to drive the Demonic Demi-God into retreat.
Immense wealth of wisdom: Bjorn is the oldest living thing in the Imperium, apart from The Immortal God Emperor himself. Meaning that he has been around some of the wisest and has learned much. Bjorns words have been known to shape the future of the galaxy, so heed his advice.
Brief Bio: Mostly un-known, due to most imperium records from around the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy being lost. The first currently recorded mention of Bjorn in Imperial records occurs towards the end of the Great Crusade, when he was picked by Lord Leman Russ himself to be part of his pack, after Bjorn had showed a lot of promise in battle. Bjorn took part in the Burning of Prospero, during which time he was infected by a Malefictum, but was saved only by having the infected arm cut off by one of Lord Russ' Custodes. He recovered quickly, but the Space Wolves were unable to reach Terra in time to defend her from the Chaos forces final assault. After the Final Battle, Russ left the Space Wolves and ventured into the Eye of Terror to find his corrupted brothers and end them, taking with him, only his most trusted of battle brothers, leaving Bjorn behind as Great Wolf in his stead.
His heroic career at the head of the Space Wolves ended during a raid against a fortress during the Proxima Rebellion in 934.M31, when he was so severely wounded and crippled that he was beyond the aid of the chapter's Apothecaries, and his paralyzed body was transplanted within a Dreadnought. Over the following five hundred years he remained at the forefront of battle. Eventually however, the long years took their toll on the warrior, and he began spending longer and longer periods dormant in stasis sleep.
The first particularly notable time he was awoken from stasis currently known of was during the first Battle of the Fang in M32. At this time, as part of a scheme to permanently deny the Space Wolves the ability to produce Successor Chapters, as well as gain a measure of revenge for the Burning of Prospero, the Thousand Sons invaded Fenris, the homeworld of the Space Wolves. Before falling on the world, Magnus had ensured that the bulk of the Space Wolves Chapter would be off-planet; The Fang was defended by only one Great Company of Adeptus Astartes, as well as their serfs and mortal soldiery. Also present were several of the Space Wolves' Dreadnoughts, chief amongst whom was Bjorn the Fell-Handed. Under orders from Jarl Greyloc, Bjorn was awoken, and the first Great Wolf charged headlong into the fray, rallying the severely outnumbered Space Wolves, destroying countless Thousand Sons and crippling the Daemon Primarch, Magnus The Red.
Bjorn now spends his time in the Space Wolves mighty fortress, The Fang, in suspended animation. He is awoken every 1000 years so that he may tell stories of old, and is awoken on special occasions, or during times of great emergency.
Equipment:
Dreadnought Body: Due to his age, his physical body withered away millenia ago, as such, his battered and beaten body was placed into the large mechanical body that preserved his remains whilst keeping his mind in-tact. This body was created using some of the most advanced technologies in the Imperium, far more advanced than the standard Dreadnought, which allowed him to remain sane and intact for almost 9500 years since he was first put in it.
Trueclaw: The large claw on his right arm, it is known for it's speed and deadliness. It also has a flamethrower built into the underside of it.
Hellfrost Cannon: A large cannon mounted onto his chassis instead of a left arm. It fires a beam of energy that is approximately -4000 degrees.
Wolf Amulet: An amulet with a shield generator built into it. Deflects most small arms fire, and can take the occasional Lascannon shot as well.
Smoke Launchers: Built onto the top of his frame, allows him to pop smoke and make him harder to hit from ranged fire.
Searchlights: A large pair of searchlights either side of his Smoke launcher, allows him to light up the dark.
Others: I'm going to be playing him more along the lines of how he is portrayed by /tg/ and 1d4chan.
