The Wolves appear to have a more complex hierarchical structure compared to other houses. While they retain the typical leadership of a Kell, an [[Archon]], and a [[Prime Servitor]] followed by [[Baron]]s and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts and groups with special functions within the House.
