Erik Morkai was struck by the focus and killer instinct the Wolfspear displayed during their earliest campaigns, and also gained the favor of Logan Grimnar himself. Initially an under-strength fleet-based force which combined both Indomitus Crusade Primaris and new Initiates of the Space Wolves upon Fenris, these first warriors showed clear signs of their ancestry such as the pointed fangs typical of the Canis Helix. The Wolfspear was created shortly after this declaration. Thus each Primaris squad became a pack and they took up roles as Blood Claws, Grey Hunters, and so on depending upon their strength and experience. However, he also stated that the new Greyshields must prove themselves in battle or face the scorn of their brothers and that all of the newcomers joining the Space Wolves must uphold the ancient traditions of the Chapter. This was a formal recognition of the Space Wolves successors that stated whether they were forged in the Fang or otherwise all of the lineage of Leman Russ were to be considered his sons. Ultimately Great Wolf Logan Grimnar ended the debate by issuing the Kin-pack Declaration. Gunnar Red Moon was among the most noted opponents of the new arrivals, stating he would rather fight alongside a dozen true Space Wolves than a hundred others who he had never feasted aside.

This brought fierce debate throughout The Fang, for many distrusted these warriors they had never met or fought beside and had never been exposed to the cultures and dangers of Fenris.

He proposed that while some would join the Space Wolves proper, others would form their own independent chapter. Guilliman personally arrived at Fenris at the head of an Indomitus Crusade Fleet to bring the Grey Shields before the Wolves.
