Garro: Knight of Grey (The Horus Heresy)

Product Information

He had old eyes in a face that, despite its oft weary countenance, seemed too young for them; his head was hairless and patterned with pale scars.

Thus, although they held no actual seniority over one another, Captain Ignatius Grulgor of the 2 nd Great Company could carry the rank of "commander" if he so wished, just as Garro, as captain of the 7 th Great Company, was known as "battle-captain." After their arrival on Isstvan III by Thunderhawk, Garro, Rubio and Macer Varren encountered a handful of what they believed to be Human survivors who spoke of a beast that hunted them. Yet He also knew that the threat of Chaos would not see defeat with Horus, but would continue to haunt Humanity. The very nature of the Horus Heresy had proven that the Space Marines were not immune to corruption as the Emperor had once hoped. So the Emperor set His hand to plans that would win a wider victory from the ashes of a most personal defeat. The Death Guard differed from many of their brother Legions in the manner of their command structure and rank system. Tradition had it that the XIV th Legion should never number more than 7 Great Companies, although those divisions held far more warriors than those of other Astartes cohorts like the Space Wolves or the Blood Angels.The 7th Great Company were part of the taskforce assigned to secure Isstvan Extremis, the outermost world of the Isstvan system, ahead of the Isstvan III massacre. During this battle, Garro was wounded by the enemy leader and lost most of his right leg, necessitating an augmetic replacement. The wound might have killed him, especially when his own company's Apothecary, Meric Voyen, was too far away, but Garro's life was saved by Apothecary Fabius of the Emperor's Children. [1e] The Flight of the Eisenstein Realising something was amiss, First Captain Typhon aboard the massive Death Guard battleship Terminus Est moved to intercept the small frigate when he had received no word from his usually boisterous subordinate Grulgor. He gave chase as the Eisenstein attempted to evade the guns of his ship. The frigate sustained severe damage from the Terminus Est's massive guns batteries as it sped past. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the starship Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite’s Agentia Primus, Garro’s path has drawn him inexorably toward a destiny that can only end in bloodshed.

Next, Garro, Loken and their comrades faced First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon himself alongside the Blood Angels led by Captain-Paladin Bel Sepatus and the Loyalist World Eater commander Endryd Har. The Blood Angels and Endryd Har had succeeded in ambushing Abaddon's Sons of Horus, though the first captain managed to slay both Sepatus and Har in the ensuing fight. Magnus did nothing wrong, also, grab these to add some variation to your swarms of MKVI marines in Horus Heresy! Ultramarines MKVI Upgrades Tallery feared that the mysterious shipments were part of a plot by Traitors embedded in the bureaucracy of the Departmento Munitorum to somehow aid Horus' cause in advance of the coming Siege of Terra. Garro believed her suspicions to be true due to her utter devotion to the God-Emperor and His growing cult.

In truth, Keeler was being hunted by the Vindicare Assassin Eristede Kell, who had once been part of an Execution Force sent by the Assassin clades to kill Horus on the world of Dagonet early in the Horus Heresy. However, it took Abaddon seven kill-strikes to finally slay the monstrously strong World Eater. Trapped beneath Har's great muscled bulk after his death, Abaddon would have been slain by Garro had he not teleported away before the Death Guard could reach him.

Grulgor claimed that Emperor held no authority over the Death Guard. Only Horus and the Death Lord could command them. What they were doing on Isstvan III, they did by the will of Horus and Mortarion. To protect Keeler from any further attempts on her life, Garro handed her over to the custody of Malcador the Sigillite. Just before she was taken away by the Knight-Errant Vardas Ison, Keeler told Garro that his hand would free her when the time came.The Death Guard were known to harden themselves through stringent training regimens as neophyte Astartes, willingly exposing themselves to chemical agents, contaminants, deadly viral strains and venoms of a thousand different shades. They could resist them all. Keeler, whose miraculous abilities to defeat Daemons and influence people had raised suspicions that she was some form of Renegade psyker among the Sisters of Silence, had been released from the Somnus Citadel on Luna after no evidence of psychic ability had been found. Once on Terra, she spent her time spreading the belief that the Emperor was a god and growing the nascent cult of the Lectitio Divinitatus. From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty - Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite. Despite this, conflicting testimonies claim that Garro variously remained imprisoned with The Seventy until his death; went on to serve at the Master Apothecariate seeking a cure to Nurgle's Rot, a path followed by fellow Eisenstein survivor and Apothecary Meric Voyen; that Garro still lives in the 41st Millennium and commands an elite Astartes task force clad in the colours of the pre-Heresy Death Guard; or that he was ultimately possessed himself by the Lord of Flies.
