The cardgame also refers to them as |"followers"(Roshea is notably exempt). I'm going to guess they probably chose to die for their cause like Camus and other characters. According to developers notes, under the previous laws of Aurelis, the members of Wolfguard were kept in slavery due to being descended from hostile plains tribes.

"As for the Wolfguard, none of the things you suggested could happen" What did I suggest?

"(Do they ever give the King of Aurelis a name?)" No, he' just called King Aurelis. His name isn't Marlon, as Marlon was the brother of Anri ages ago who went to rule the plains.
