The Wolverines were formed in the dark ages, by a mercenary warlord Garlan, many years before the formation of the Gathering treaty. Garlan had always worked alone, fighting here and there, but his fame became such that he amassed followers, and a small regiment was formed. Their battle prowess was tested numerous times over the years, and under the leadership of Garlan they were never defeated. Years after his death the warband split into smaller groups, some even settled and put down roots.

Some years after the break up of the original Wolverines, Tiamat a descendant of Garlan, reformed the warband. Like all mercenary companies they fought for gold and fought under many different banners. Payment of one contract was a region of land, called Naseby in Albion. The Wolverines relocated and fought many battles on the borderlands, eventually helping to form the Harts as they are known today.

It was often commented within 'polite' circles, that the savage Wolverines should be kept in a chest, marked 'Open only in event of War'. To this the warband just laugh and shout their battle cry of 'Bollox'.

After years in Albion, the Wolverines entered a state of flux, some wanting to leave and return to their mercenary origins and others tired of constantly waging wars. For the second time in the Wolverines history, the warband scattered.

Now they have reformed again, with battle hardened mercenaries from many lands. Under the leadership of Skarn Von Ulfwere (former Lieutenant), the Wolverines have returned after many years of adventure abroad. Now loyal and committed to the Albion cause once more. With new blood swelling their ranks and numbers increasing by the day, the warband is once again on the march.

They will not refuse a fight, dislike inbred nobility and evil despots alike, love ale and enjoy life.
