Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf ( Chapter Master) of the Space Wolves, had been personally involved in some of these incidents, whence he had become aware of the existence of the secret Grey Knights Chapter, and had become highly suspicious and disdainful towards the Inquisition and its methods as a result. There was a history of clashes with the Adeptus Ministorum in particular, as well as with the Inquisition and others. The Months of Shame campaign was not the first time the Space Wolves had been involved in violent disputes with other Imperial Adepta. The Space Wolves' peculiar qualities have created problems with Imperial authorities, who have sometimes interpreted Space Wolves' actions as non-cooperative, defiant, or even heretical. The Chapter is also fiercely independent. In both these areas their practices sometimes contradict traditional norms and Imperial decrees. The Space Wolves Chapter of Space Marines is one of the most idiosyncratic and anti-authoritarian in the Imperium, in terms of both tactical organisation and overall philosophy.
