Whoa, okay, no, I wasn't looking to get a wolf as a follower, at least not until I had the experience to bring in the wolf from the backstory.  I just wrote up something that made sense to me considering the history I rolled, which is Wolf-Tamer.  I didn't mean to stir things up, I just wanted to share the story since I thought it turned out well.  Plus it's 40k, tragic shit happens all the time, so Steinolf losing most of his fluffy pals back in the day just felt like something that would happen as a result of how violent the universe is.  I mean, don't get me wrong, the idea of having a murder floofer as a pal is cool and all, but I wasn't aiming to get something beyond explaining later how he'd bring in Freki to join him.
