Bjorn Stonehowl is a gregarious, loud-voiced warrior with a booming laugh and a tale for every scar. He’s the kind of Space Wolf who fills the dropship with stories before the battle and war cries during it. Known for his relentless optimism and unshakable morale, Bjorn believes that courage is contagious—and he spreads it like wildfire. He’s fiercely loyal to his pack, quick to defend his brothers, and even quicker to challenge them to drinking contests after a successful purge.

* '''Combat Style:''' Shield-led assault, defensive formations, and precise melee strikes
* '''Preferred Weapons:''' Power sword and boarding shield
* '''Temperament:''' Bold, humorous, and inspiring in battle
* '''Reputation:''' “The Wall with a Roar”—his shield holds the line, his voice leads the charge

== Background ==
Raised among the cliff tribes of Asaheim, Bjorn earned his name during his initiation trial when he slew a frost-wyrm with nothing but a broken spear and a stubborn refusal to die. He was inducted into the Blackmane Great Company under Ragnar Blackmane, where his natural charisma and shieldwork made him a favorite among the younger Blood Claws.

Bjorn’s preference for sword and shield over the traditional axes of his kin earned him some teasing—until he used them to hold a breach against a tide of Orks for six hours. When the Deathwatch called for warriors with both grit and presence, Ragnar sent Bjorn with a grin and a warning: “Try not to talk the xenos to death before you burn them.”
