==Logan Grimnar and the Inquisition== Logan Grimnar is thought to be something of a renegade by the Inquisition and the Administratum, particularly for his actions after the First War for Armageddon. The Inquisition thought that everyone but themselves and the Space Marines who participated in the war were tainted by Chaos. In addition, the Administratum didn't want people to find out that the Imperium was weaker than they said it was, since Angron's forces had decimated Armageddon's population and cities. So they ordered the PDF, all the serving guardsmen, and civilians of Armageddon to be sterilized and rounded up into work camps to slave for the rest of their short lives while Armageddon is re-populated. There was also the order of mind-wiping his marines due to them witnessing the Grey Knights. Naturally, this horrified and pissed off Grimnar ([[Noblebright|who thought this was a complete insult to everyone who gave everything they had to stop Angron's rampage]]), and he ordered his forces to protect all the departing Imperial Guard troop carriers with his fleet, but he forbade his soldiers from firing on the Inquisition, at least at first. This action naturally pissed-off the Inquisition. While not in open war, some ''very'' bad blood existed between the two parties, more specifically between Logan and Inquisitor Lord Ghesmei Kysnaros, the inquisitor responsible for purging the old population of Armageddon. Eventually the Inquisition under the guise that they wanted to bury the hatchet, decided to negotiate a truce with the Space Wolves in neutral space....then the stupid started to commence. The Inquisition and Grey Knights opened fire on the Space Wolves' fleet, with the Space Wolves losing 3 ships and having 1 crippled. Apparently, instead of trying to reach a mutual understanding, the Inquisition thought that it was a better idea to force the Space Wolves to surrender and force them to take a crusade of penance. You can imagine how the Old Wolf took this. So, he was brought into the Grey Knights command ship, under the guise of opening diplomatic channels, though when he arrived he proceeded to behead Grand Master Joros' for firing on his fleet. The Wolves tried to teleport back to their ships, but when the teleport temporarily failed, they gunned down four justicars with their Storm Bolters and said their farewells. [[The Guy Who Cried Grendel|Apparently, either Logan's totally not heretical daemon axe grew Instant Death out of nowhere, or else our Spiritual Liege lent to the Space Wolves the Ultramarines' piped metaphysical dices]][[Bullshit|, a shame Chaos demons & marines can't deal with Grey Knights so easily]]. This lead to a period of time called "The Months of Shame", in which the Space Wolves became more hostile, throwing aside their earlier passive resistance, even destroying a number of Inquisition ships in revenge for their earlier betrayal. The Inquisition (who generally aren't the type to admit a mistake or apologize to anyone), decided to go to Fenris loaded for bear (or wolf, in this case). In addition to the Inquisition storm troopers, they also called upon more grey knight vessels and the entire [[Red Hunters]] chapter(!) of space marines. The Inquisition intended to bring Wolves to heel (pun intended) with the power of the Inquisition and force them into a penitent crusade for their action through a show of strength. This may seem like a giant ego trip on the part of the Inquisition, but keep in mind that a lot of an Inquisitor's power comes from fear and a facade of omnipotence. By challenging that, the Space Wolves could potentially erode the inquisition's power, and thus their ability to do their rather vital work. [[Image:Meme_Warhammer_40K%2C_No_Lives_Matter%2C_Only_The_Imperium_of_Man.jpg|thumb|350px|right|The [[Marines Malevolent|official stance]] of the [[Imperium]] (and presumably of most of the Adeptus Astartes) on the Months of Shame.]] The Inquisition landed on Fenris to "negotiate" a peace agreement with the guns of their fleet aimed at the Fang the whole time. While The Fang is one of the most formidable fortifications in the galaxy, only rivaled by the Keep Inviolate, [[The Rock]], and the Emperor's Palace on Holy Terra, at that time The Fang was barely manned, what with most of the chapter being deployed elsewhere, the threat was very real. As "negotiations' began the majority of the Wolves' fleet jumped into the system and engaged the Inquisition Armada (normally one would think that a single chapter's fleet against an entire armada would be pretty one sided, but the space wolves have an almost hilariously formidable fleet. They have EIGHT battle barges (A truly staggering number given most chapters only have '''one''' of these big capital ships on average) and THIRTY FUCKING STRIKE CRUISERS. THIRTY. During the fighting, Logan and a force of 20 [[Terminator]]s, boarded inquisitor Lord Kysnaros' ship and slaughtered the crew, along with the inquisitor. But in the end, the Space Wolves could not hope to defeat the forces of the Ordo Malleus and an entire Space Marine chapter at the same time without horrendous losses on both sides (which would be detrimental to them and the Imperium as a whole), so [[Bjorn]] told Logan to cut his shit out. The chapter was more important than any human survivors, and the inquisitor who had started the whole mess was dead. Due in no small part to the remaining Inquisitors and Grey Knights being awed at being in Bjorn's presence (after all, he fought beside E-Money back in the day), the Space Wolves and the Inquisition settled everything and broke off the current conflict. They didn't declare the Space Wolves heretics and Logan reluctantly let go of his vendetta, if not his rage. To this day however, Ol' Grimmy still hates the Administratum and the Inquisition for their actions on Armageddon; the latter in particular for their altercation. The advice of [[Ulrik the Slayer]] and the gentle "advice" of Bjorn keep Logan from renewing hostilities. While the Inquisition takes great care not to get on the Space Wolves' bad side anymore, lest they risk a war with one of the only loyalist chapters who has the balls to give them the middle finger and say: "Fuck you, we do what we want". And yet, just because of Bjorn's [[Omnissiah|deus ex machina]], [[Wat|the Inquisition has been very generous]], because any other Chapter would get excomunicated or sent into a crusade of penance for less than what they did, such as doing Exterminatus on an undevelopped baseline agriworld populated mostly by mutant workers being slaved away ; in all likeliness though the "Months of Shame" may simply be a way to explain conflicts between the Grey Knights and the Space Wolves in the wargame. Except, not really. Because if the Inquisition didn't settle things, they'd have been fucked. The rest of the Astartes would not tolerate a Chapter, especially [[Horus Heresy|a First Founding Chapter, being either destroyed or forced on a penance crusade]] for ''defending Imperial citizens.'' If it can happen to the Space Wolves, it can happen to them. So, if the Inquisition won, the Inquisition would have been exterminated as an organization that relies on merely human intellect to succeed and survive is '''''fucked''''' against super-human intellect with a vendetta. That said, while Logan hates the Inquisition as a whole, he still gives individual Inquisitors a fair shake if they're willing to prove themselves, which we see in the second book in [[Ragnar Blackmane]]'s series of novels.
