Vran’s character has been referenced in novels, comics, and other media within the *Warhammer 40,000* franchise. His presence underscores the Space Wolves’ reputation as a fierce and independent force, often clashing with the Imperium’s central authority while remaining steadfast in their defense of the galaxy.
