Clad in heavily customized prototype Indomitus pattern terminator armor, Chaplain Jegudiel of the Dark Angels is a particularly sinister figure known amongst his brothers for his unrelenting brutality and unshakable resolve in the Great Crusade and all it represents. A poor swordsman and unimpressed by the more standard power mauls issued to many Chaplains, he commissioned the great Forge Lord Cassiel to wed his symbols of office with the destructive power of thunder hammers. Whenever the Dark Angels go to war he is sure to be found in the forefront leading the First Legion's elite and personally smiting the enemies of Humanity one by one, his fiery oratory inspiring those around him.

Caradin Tolon, 144th Centurion, XIV Legiones Astartes

The so-called “Headsman of Barbarus” had already carved out a sinister reputation for himself long before the Great Betrayal. A Barbarussian native, Tolon was born shortly after Mortarion’s arrival and was a member of one of the earliest generations of Astartes to be raised from the world. By this time the influence of the Terran Dusk Raiders was still strong as the Primarch was only just beginning to reshape his legion. Tolon stood apart from his contemporaries by actively seeking tutelage from the older veterans and attempting to incorporate their hard won knowledge and experience into the doctrinal directives laid down by his sire. In doing so he combined the cunning of the warriors of Old Albia with the survivor's brutality of a Barbarussian and won himself the recognition of his commanders in a series of punishing close quarters actions. He rose to command his own demi-century after seven savage years and was promoted to lead his own century a decade later.

The 144th was a more specialised century than most others in the XIV, suited as they were to rapid deployment and assault. Most of the line squads were equipped as jump infantry with a preponderance of bikes and speeders as quick and flexible heavy support platforms. Tolon ran his century to primarily perform dangerous pathfinding and reconnaissance in force tasks and to act as a mobile and responsive reserve force. He and his marines roamed the battlefields of the Crusade and frequently engaged vulnerable targets of opportunity with overwhelming force. What opposition could not be destroyed was lured into the main line of advance, a task greatly assisted by Tolon’s reputation.

During his early service Tolon became enamoured with the ancient Terran doctrine of “total war”. It was his belief that the only morally justifiable way to conduct war was to do so so completely and savagely that the mere thought of resistance would be crushed. He shared fervently his Primarch's belief in the liberation of mankind from slavery, ignorance and tyranny and was convinced in the value of thousands of lives horrifically spent in war if it meant the sparing of millions through rapid capitulation. He took it upon himself to be the manifestation of the “hard hand of war” and committed atrocities more at home in the annals of the XIII than the XIV. Taking of heads as trophies, burning of population centres with flame and phosphex and the execution of prisoners were all common practice in the 144th. Higher command echelons would frequently turn a blind eye to such practises as they produced results that were desired by the legion. The XIV was not a legion that occupied itself with the building and maintenance of worlds.

Tolon’s talents would serve him well during the years of the Betrayal. Like nearly all native born legionnaires he was wholly behind his Primarch in all things and had no qualms with the purging of the Legion at Istvaan, viewing the brothers that would not support Mortarion as traitors to the Death Guard and humanity as a whole. It appears that as the rebellion ground onwards and more and more terrible deeds were required of him Tolon lost his moral grounding completely, justifying every kill and casualty as necessary for the overthrow of the tyrant Emperor. Like many of those fortunate enough to have missed the XIV’s final muster, the Siege of Terra shattered these illusions completely and the full magnitude of what his Legion and his Primarch had done proved too terrible to bear.

+++ Furis Soln, Warsmith of the IVth Legion 'Iron Warriors' 91st Grand Company
+++ Overseer to the 8th Company, 1502nd Expeditionary Fleet
+++ Known Aliases - "The Lernaean", "Death's Heads"

Assigned to the rank of Warsmith of the 91st Grand Company late into the Crusade, Soln's command was marred early on by a catastrophic fleet loss during warp travel - losses were estimated at 70-85% leaving the new commander with severely reduced resources and the ire of his superiors. In his anger, the Warsmith relieved the senior Navigator of his head - an impulse that would later turn to habit, and earned Soln the name "Lernaean" among his officers.

The 91st were no longer able to operate effectively, resulting in the forced assignment as a support force to a nearby VIIIth 'Night Lords' Legion fleet. While the majority of the remaining 91st were tasked with bolstering defenses in wake of the Night Lords compliances, the Warsmith took a more active role along with the 8th Company as artillery support for ground forces. It was during these compliances that Warsmith Soln acquired the xenos battleaxe from a fallen champion.

It is rumoured that the decades of exposure to VIIIth Legion leadership encouraged the Warsmith's penchant for beheading, both of his enemies and that of his fellow IVth Legion officers who failed under his command. With the destruction of the fleet still weighing heavily on the Warsmith's mind, the remaining officers of the 91st Grand Company became well trained not only in succeeding at their Warsmith's order's but also at placing blame far from their own shoulders - the empty, mournful skulls draped from hisarmour a constant reminder of the cost failure.

Brother Svanhild of the VI Legion was model legionary. He was a fierce warrior on the battlefield, and a fierce lover in the kennel. But he was never satisfied. No matter how many neophytes he initiated; he always wanted more.

One fateful night he began to hear sweet whispering voices in the back of his head. At first he thought it was his astartes physiology playing tricks on his fatigued mind. But they persisted. So he began to listen.

One voice offered him immense unimaginable power. This voice offered him the foresight and cunning to become the head of his legion; and have as many neophytes as he could ever want.

Another voice offered him pleasure through every sensation, enjoyment through pain, and boundless power and subjugation of his brothers and all the neophytes to himself.

Another, offered him salvation from pain, wondrous gifts, and joy in the inevitable entropic heat death of his body. And more neophytes.

But the last voice; the last voice was the most compelling. It offered him incredible strength and combat prowess. he would be granted strength and speed beyond even his father Primarch Russ. But most of all, it promised neophytes and skulls. he would harvest skulls, and have all the neophytes crawling to him in chains. He liked chains. he liked neophytes. All he had to do to claim these gifts was to sacrifice his body to this wonderful voice. To...Khorne.

He had to do it right. A bolt to the head? No, too mundane. Throw himself out an airlock? No. Fall in front of his squads Rhino? No. He would incinerate himself underneath his squads kharybdis on take off.

As he through himself under the takeoff thrusters of the drop pod. His ceramite warplate melted away in moments. Then his flesh. The last thoughts that flashed through Brother Svanhild's brain as the heat overwhelmed him was clouded with pain. And neophytes.

It's ancient Varta of the Carcharadons (formerly Ravenguard). Born to the Xeric tribes of the Asiatic dustbowl, at a young age Varta had developed the skills needed by a Xeric warrior, the ability to spot an enemies weakness, and act on it quickly. Once the Yndoniesic Bloc had been conquered by the Thunder Warriors, Varta was amongst the first generation inducted into the XIXth legion. Varta fought to bring the Emperor's enlightened rule to the Jovian moons, purging them of their xenos overlords. Rising to captain, he led his fellow warriors in campaigns alongside the Lunar Wolves in their Compliance wars when the XIXth was led by Arkhas Fal, before the discovery of their Primarch.

When Corvus Corax was discovered, he purged the legion of many of their Xeric traditions, and Varta, along with Arkhas Fal, objected strongly to this. His eventual reward for this was to become part of the 'nomad predation' fleet operating outside the galactic boundary, encompassing regions like the Ghoul Stars, in the forces that would eventually become the Carcharadons.

Varta was interred in a dreadnought after being fatally wounded in the reaving of 6-0-6, freeing another world of Xenos taint. As a dreadnought he has fought in the Pentarchy of Blood and 7th Black Crusade, and relished the Badab War and the opportunity to fight worthy foes.

The Death Guard are famed for their mighty dreadnoughts, but not for their attention to the physical comfort and mental well-being of the occupants. For Sergeant Rastic Praeustus of the Fifth, a steadfast Legion Destroyer in life, encasement in a dreadnought chassis was the start of an unchecked obsession with all things round and bony. However, the bonds of Company and Legion ensured that he was not isolated in his cranial captivation, and his brothers came to delight in gathering the charred skulls of the fallen in Praeustus’ wake, then festooning them upon his armoured form.
