A demoted Lysander became the 3rd Company's new Captain, with Garadon as his senior Veteran Sergeant. Nonetheless, the wisdom of then- Chapter Master Vladimir Pugh saw them bound together in the Crusade of Thunder.

The aftermath saw a change in fortunes for Lysander and Garadon, who had both come to dislike one another intensely Lysander was angered by what he saw as the sergeant's presumption, while Garadon fumed at Lysander's obvious arrogance. That any survived at all was to Garadon's credit, for he defied Lysander's orders and requested assistance from other Chapters of Adeptus Astartes. Vogen and much of the 3rd Company perished during First Captain Darnath Lysander's disastrous assault on Taladorn. When Captain Julius Vogen took command of the 3rd Company, he judged there to be more to Garadon than others had allowed themselves to see, and took it upon himself to unlock the potential of his junior Battle-Brother.īy the time Garadon had earned a position in the hallowed 1st Company, he and Vogen shared an unbreakable friendship one which would later see the younger Space Marine return to the Sentinels of Terra without hesitation to serve as a Veteran Sergeant. Then- Sergeant Tor Garadon during the Invasion of Taladorn. The first time this truly came to the fore was during the Nosfer Planetstrike, when the 3rd Company was stranded behind the Necron force's lines.Ĭhapter Command had no contact with the 3rd Company for nearly two Nosferan weeks, until sixty battered Battle-Brothers appeared out of the sulphur mists and provided vital support in the battle against Majestor Zangeneb's Canoptek hosts.īrother Garadon submitted only the tersest of reports, but other survivors spoke of how he had taken command upon Captain Opara's death. Yet his silence concealed a sharp mind, if one little given to revealing itself except when absolutely necessary. Despite his deeds, Garadon never sought promotion, nor was it ever offered to him. Fate had cursed the young Garadon with a straightforward and stubborn nature, ill-matched to the glittering societal circles his kin frequented.ĭuring his first solar decade of service, Garadon earned commendation after commendation. His wealthy family were only too glad to see him depart. Garadon was recruited to the Imperial Fists from the orbitals of Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. Tested on a thousand worlds, he is a master of the battlefield, and an unyielding bulwark against those who would oppose Mankind. He is an unstoppable warrior in whom the lessons of the Primarch Rogal Dorn have been distilled to their most punishing form. Tor Garadon is a Captain of the Imperial Fists Chapter and the longest-serving commander of the Imperial Fists 3rd Company, the "Sentinels of Terra."
