Wolf Helm of Russ

This is one of the Space Wolves' most revered artefacts and is said to have been worn by Russ himself. Which Great Company receives the honour of using the Helm is decided once every hundred years, at the Great Feast of Russ. At this feast, champions from each of the Companies compete in a series of increasingly dangerous contests. The last contestant standing wins the Wolf Helm for his Great Company. The Helm was last won by Ragnar Blackmane, who presented it to Ulrik the Slayer as a mark of respect to his mentor. In game terms, the Wolf Helm has the same effect as a holy relic (see Codex: Space Marines).
