In truth, Primarch Rorschach had more or less guessed at the thoughts Bjorn had revealed.
On one hand, although the Space Wolves were among the most honored of the original Founding Legions,

Primarch Rorschach believed it concerned Bjorn himself.
As one of the oldest Astartes in the current Imperium of Man, Bjorn truly was far too old.
Although he only awakened from the Stasis Field when the Space Wolves or Fenris faced a major crisis,
or when Fang Castle's garrison forces were relatively depleted,
