It is that shaded box that covers his profile that signifies he is an upgrade, otherwise why have the shaded box?

He's still not an upgrade. Nothing in the codex says that he's an upgrade. It's nothing more than an assumption on your part that he's an upgrade. Where does the codex say that a shaded box means he's an upgrade. It does not. Maybe they used the shaded box because they thought it looked pretty, but nothing supports your claims. If he were an upgrade, he'd be listed with the other upgrades.

The biggest reason I would say that he is an upgrade is that under no circumstances can you take those units that have the grey boxes seperately from the units they are assigned to.

And that still does not make them upgrades. It's not the first time that you've been required to field one unit to unlock another, or would you say that an Imperial Assassin is an upgrade for an Inquisitor or Inquisitor Lord?

I know the reluctance of not giving them, mainly because he is named and has Ultramarine markings all over his armor but the truth is you can use Sgt Telion and Sgt Chronus is other Chapters just fine as "counted as".

Other Chapters that use Codex Space Marines ONLY. Space Wolves do not use Codex Space Marines only. They take what units their codex says that they can and no more.

Lastly, in the Space Marine Codex, it states that armies that follow the Codex Astartes may take special characters from the Space Marine Codex to be "counted as".

And Codex Space Wolves have a strict list of what units may be taken and Chronus nor any of the other special characters are listed.

In conclusion, this game is supposed to be fun...

And a game has RULES to9 ensure that both players have fun, not just one at the expense of the other. Anyway, your mistaking the datafiles as the game. So go have fun playing the game, but don't expect the datafiles to allow you to create an illegal army.
