After Jocasta is the one who fires the killing spot upon him, however, his tone changes and he seems to regard her as a WorthyOpponent. He ultimately chooses her to be the one who he says his last words to.

* OutrankingYourJob: A Wolf Lord is the Space Wolves' equivalent of an Astartes Captain, expected to lead one of the Chapter's twelve Great Companies, each of which ideally numbers around 100 Space Wolves (often more in practice due the Space Wolves not being a Codex-compliant Chapter). This guy is shown to be commanding a grand total of seven other Space Wolves (less than even a single Pack, the Space Wolves' equivalent of a squad) alongside one bounty hunter. He's also shown personally leading a small reconnaissance team on scouting mission into potentially hostile territory ahead of the main army, stuff that would realistically be handled by a Pack Leader (the Space Wolves' equivalent of a sergeant). It's possible that he originally was the commander of a Great Company, but only brought a single Pack with him to help evacuate the Xek-Tek Sector, leading to him getting unexpectedly cut off from the rest of his men when the Xek-Tek fleet made the BlindJump into the ''Star Wars'' galaxy.

* EmpathicShapeshifter: One of the trials that the Skywatch put their new recruits through involves stripping a trainee almost naked and then locking them alone in a room with Katathma flowers.

The only way for a recruit to survive is to empty their mind of their emotions, thereby forcing the shapeshifting flowers to [[ShapeshifterModeLock default to their standard forms]]. These flowers are cultivated aboard the ''Master of Light'' and are said to have originated from Heimdal Primaris.
