House Krast - Notable House Krast Personnel: Cyan Krast - In 663.M33, Cyan Krast led his forces to a great victory against the servants of the Dark Gods, crushing the Golden Taint warband in the Battle for the Gates of Obsilom.Lord Taben Krast - In 203.M36, Taben offered up his firstborn son to the Legio Titanicus of Mars as a mark of his allegiance to the Adeptus Mechanicus. In return, the Fabricator-General reaffirmed his support of the house's war against Chaos.Baron Lagos - Baron Lagos is the pilot of the Knight Crusader the Redemption of Adamant. In House Krast, the rank of Baron is signified by the twin yellow stripes atop the carapace. Over long years of service, the Redemption of Adamant has weathered the worst firepower and battle damage the enemies of Mankind could manage, yet always the Sacristans have repaired its adamantium armour, and, if anything, Lagos and the myriad memory-figments within his Throne Mechanicum come back stronger each time, eager to exact revenge. As a Baron, Lagos' duties are to maintain his stronghold, to lead the Knights under his service, and to answer the call of the Princeps should he summon members of House Krast to war. Depending upon his liege's needs, Baron Lagos might send a household detachment of his Knights, go into battle himself, or lead his own favoured escort -- a Baronial Court -- into battle.Garathi Ashbrone - Knight Scion Garathi Ashbrone served during the Great Crusade and opening years of the Horus Heresy. The duty as guardian and protector was seen as a great honour amongst the ranks of House Krast. When circumstances required the presence of Knights to watch over a disputed region of space, only the most patient and level-headed of Knight Scions were chosen and to be assigned such a duty was a mark of respect. Despite the name of his Knight Warden, Fervorous Defender, its pilot was noted within the Household's records as a patient and intelligent tactician, standing amongst the finest of House Krast's warriors during the Great Crusade. Many had marked the Scion as a potential future Grand Master had he not been slain when Chrysis was bombarded during the final years of the Horus Heresy.Dagos - Sir Dagos was a notable Krastian Knight who fought on the Vagorn Helfront against a major uprising throughout the Vagorn Sector of the Ultima Segmentum. Dagos, aboard his Knight Blade of Vengeance, and a detachment of Knights from House Krast, were deployed in the early stages of the conflict to attempt to destroy the Helfront core world of Crematis, and to slay its leader, the Warp-seer Neroteka the Unbound. Almost as soon as the Knights landed on the blasted ash wastes of Crematis they fell into a trap set by the Helfront, and their Imperial Guard allies were scattered and destroyed by the massed armies of the Traitors. Dagos and his lance-brothers fought valiantly against the Helfront army, but were eventually cut down by a trio of corrupted Shadowsword super-heavy tanks augmented by strange Warp-magicks that shielded them from Thermal and Battle Cannon fire. Its reactor fractured, the fallen Blade of Vengeance and its brothers were dragged in chains behind the Shadowswords as trophies to be presented to their dark master Neroteka. While the Heretics broke down the gates of their city to present their prize, Dagos coaxed Blade of Vengeance back from the dead, using his mastery of the Throne Mechanicum to bypass damaged systems and draw power from reserve compactors. With a shudder and a great blast on its war horn, the Knight came to life once more, and rose up over the howling Heretics. Dagos fired a point-blank Thermal Cannon blast into Neroteka's palace balcony, obliterating the Heretic and all of his generals as they gloated over their victory. Though Dagos was eventually slain by the frenzied Traitors, taking hundreds with him in a bloody last stand, he had vanquished their leader and their uprising was ultimately broken. To honour Dagos' sacrifice, a statue commemorating his final act of defiance stands vigil over the entrance to the fortress of House Krast.Forillus - Sir Forillus was a notable Krastian Knight who fought in the brutal retribution campaign against WAAAGH! Spleenrippa on the world of Herald's Fall. Forillus was among a detachment of House Krast Knights sent to cleanse the world of Orks in support of the Legio Osedax Titan Legion. The Krastian Knights waded into the Ork-infested fens and hunted down thousands of Orks, incinerating the scrap-barges that roamed the swamps and drowning those that tried to escape by crushing them under adamantium feet. At the climax of the battle Spleenrippa himself charged the Imperial lines in his Great Gargant at the head of a huge army of Greenskins hungry for battle. Though a hail of fire, the Titans and Knights advanced across the rotting ground, rounds and beams sparking off adamantium hulls or cracking as they struck Void and Ion Shields. Forillus and his lance-brothers scored dozens of blows upon the Great Gargant's hull before the rest of the Stompas, Gargants and Battle Wagons arrived in force. Spleenrippa eagerly charged the Ordinatus Mars, largest of the Cockatrice Legion's Titans, but his hubris proved to be his undoing, as Forillus levelled his Thermal Cannon at the Great Gargant's head, turning it into molten slag. Headless, the war engine staggered into the Orks, crushing scores into the ground before keeling over to sink into the swamp. For his valour in saving the Titan, Forillus would be honoured by the Adeptus Mechanicus and inducted into their ranks as a member of the Legion. Since the Great Rift opened, Forillus has fought battles allied with three different Forge Worlds, even joining Primarch Roboute Guilliman during part of the Indomitus Crusade. During the years of his service alongside the Cockatrices, Sir Forillus learned many strategies of mechanised war, including how to engage enemy war machines even larger and deadlier than his own, and how to evade their fury long enough to wear them down and destroy them. These lessons proved invaluable when Forillus found himself fighting alongside the Vostroyan 87th Regimeny against the vast war effigies of WAAAGH! Cogstompa, making him the bane of the Greenskins' most powerful battle engines.Daimos - Nobles on Krast learn to hate what the servants of the Dark Gods have done to Chrysis. For many, this anger and thirst for revenge is focused upon their foes, making them fearless warriors in the face of Chaos, but for others the hatred can poison their minds completely. Sir Daimos was raised surrounded by the wasteland of Chrysis, a constant reminder of the treacherous nature of the Ruinous Powers. When he undertook the Becoming, the rampant hatred in his mind was further inflamed by the whispers of the Throne Mechanicum. The first time he strode to war it was against seditionists on the planet of Forsyn XII, a virgin wilderness world that had spent centuries cut off from the Imperium by roiling Warp Storms. As part of the Imperium's armies, Daimos helped to pacify the planet after it had refused to return to the Emperor's rule. In shadowy-night woods the Krastian noble torched villages and hunted rebels, the Forsynians having nothing that could match the might of a Knight. Though there was no evidence of Chaos taint on Forsyn, Daimos saw daemons in every fleeting forest shape and heresy in the eyes of every pleading citizen. When the newly installed Planetary Governor announced the rebellion crushed, Daimos did not accept that the true servants of Chaos had been dealt with. Risking the fate of a Freeblade, Daimos convinced his brothers to follow him on one final sortie into the Forsyn woods. Their journey took them to the forested slopes of the Shining Fall Mountains, where Daimos' perseverance was to pay off, as the Knights came upon a hidden fortress, cloaked from Augurs by eldritch fields and protected by Autocannon and Lascannon turrets. Erected by Traitors, the Chaos Space Marines of the Alpha Legion, the dark fortress was to be the first chink in the armour of the Forsyn and a haven where its rebellious citizens could be turned to the worship of the Dark Gods. Spearheading the charge against the Forces of Chaos, Daimos and his brother Knights made short work of the Traitors, utterly destroying the dark fortress and leaving naught but ash and rubble in their wake, though the Alpha Legion had slipped away.Teros - Sir Teros was the seventh son of House Krast and it was only chance and a series of coincidences and tragedies that led to him sitting in the Throne Mechanicum. Each of his older brothers either died in infancy, youthful misadventures or training accidents before their Ritual of Becoming. Any fears of a curse or taint in the young noble was quickly washed away, however, by the blood of his foes. Teros displayed not only a special gift for finding psykers on the battlefield, but also a keen desire to destroy them. Teros proved his prowess against the witch while fighting Eldar raiders in the Gulf of Aeroth. For years, the alien pirates had plundered the Mechanicus void stations of the Gulf, appearing and then vanishing before the Imperium's forces could respond. In an effort to trap the pirates, Skitarii, Astra Militarum regiments and a few House Krast Knights were seeded among the stations. When the Eldar attacked the solar-sling station of Epsilon Kay, Teros was there waiting for them, having been drawn to the remote outpost from a hundred other possible targets. Led by an alien witch, the xenos pirates used foul sorcery to slip onto the station past the Imperial armsmen, where to their surprise Teros was waiting for them. The Knight smashed apart the invading forces, sending them swiftly into retreat. When the witch escaped back to the pirates' vessel, Terros linked his Knight's advanced Augurs to the station's Macrocannons, overriding its controls and unerringly blasting the Eldar voidship from the sky.Countess Karyx - Countess Karyx slew the Alpha Legion Chaos Lord Stentyrius, ending his machinations in a blast of superheated energies from the Thermal Spear of her Armiger Warglaive, Serpent's Bane.Bondsman Narsus - The Machine Spirit of the Armiger Helverin Hate's Requiem fights with a particular venom against Traitors and turncoats, a trait its pilot, Bondsman Narsus, is more than ready to exploit.
