Red Talons - Notable Red Talons: Chapter Master Autek Mor - Known as "The Maimed" and the "Blood-Wrought", Autek Mor was the first Chapter Master of the Red Talons but began as both Iron Lord and Iron Father to the Iron Hands Legion's Morragul Clan Company during the Great Crusade of the late 30th Millennium. Autek Mor held a sinister reputation within his Legion, and dark rumours accompanied him long before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, including whispered accusations that the origins of his gene-seed or perhaps his bloodline were not as they should be. A Terran by birth, he was a part of the Xth Legion's first intake and fought in the re-conquest of the Sol System. He held field command by the time of his Primarch Ferrus Manus' discovery, having already developed a reputation both as a weaponsmith and a malevolent soul, having killed several Astartes of his own Legion in duels over "slights of honour." He ruled his company with a cruel and unforgiving fist. His Morragul Clan became a sink for the outcasts and most unstable elements of the Iron Hands Legion, who fought and died under Mor's merciless command. No love was lost between Autek and his Primarch, but despite this, when his Grand Cruiser, the Red Talon, arrived at Istvaan V during the Drop Site Massacre when the void battle was at its height, he attacked in an attempt to reach the surface and was only driven off after sustaining massive damage, fleeing the Istvaan System dogged by murderous pursuit. He would eventually become the patriarch and first Chapter Master of the Second Founding Red Talons Chapter.Iron Father Bassan Terak - Bassan Terak was an Iron Father of the Red Talons Chapter during the War of the Beast in the middle centuries of the 32nd Millennium. He would later go on to lead the Red Talons' 3rd Company in the defence of the Forge World Lankast, when it was invaded by the Orks of the massive WAAAGH! of The Beast.Ironwrought Veur - Ironwrought Veur was a Devastator Legionary of the 1st Squad, Devastator Company, Order Tredecimii, Clan Morragul during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy eras. Veur served aboard the Red Talon, the flagship of the Iron Hands Legion's Morragul Clan. It was one of the first Iron Hands vessels to arrive in the Isstvan System after the treachery of the reserve Space Marine Legions on Isstvan V had been revealed, breaching into realspace amid the titanic space battle that had erupted between the Loyalist and Traitor fleets. Autek Mor, master of the Morragul Clan, ordered his ship to attempt to breach through the firestorm to reach Isstvan V, and the infamously powerful grand cruiser succeeded in punching through the battle. But it took such heavy damage it was forced to bypass Isstvan V and flee, managing to escape, unlike many of the other Iron Hands ships that would later arrive. During this desperate void battle, the Red Talon repelled dozens of separate boarding attacks from all sides, during which the Morragul Devastator heavy support squads were instrumental in slaughtering any who attempted to wrest control of the vessel. Veur later was among the Iron Hands Astartes to serve as the first generation of Red Talons after their founding.Ancient-Claviger Khalon - Khalon was a Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought of the Iron Hands Legion's Morragul Clan-Company. Once a Legion Consul of the Ungavarr Clan-Company, Ancient-Clavigar Khalon was a Terran-born siege-breaker of great renown, having won countless honours during the early days of the Great Crusade. Khalon fell in combat during the apocalyptic Battle of Rust, and was barely saved by Legion Apothecaries. His body was placed in stasis so that he could later be interred within a Dreadnought. When at last a Dreadnought shell was available, it was to be a prototype class intended for heavy assaults and siege warfare, a perfect fit for the renowned siege-breaker. Upon being placed within his new Dreadnought form, Khalon was found to be mentally ill-suited to his new existence and was prone to bouts of extreme instability. At the order of Ferrus Manus himself he was transferred from Clan Ungavarr to Clan Morragul, where his demeanour was considered to be more suited to the orphans and outcasts that had gathered under the stewardship of Iron Father Autek Mor. During the Era Indomitus in the 41st Millennium, Khalon served with a Deathwatch force that was deployed to face the conflicts raging on Armageddon.Ancient Skara Brae - The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought within which Ancient Brae is interred is thought to date back to the earliest days of the Red Talons. Aside from the Orask Wars, this Contemptor is known to have participated in battles against such reviled xenos foes as the reptilian Galthites of the Oenorian Inner Systems, the Draxian Hegemony and the dread Paramours of the Orpheus Rift. It participated in the purging of the Argent Hammers, now the Heretic Astartes warband known as the Talons of Anathrax, and the Fists of Olchis, proving instrumental in the near-complete destruction of both outcast Astartes Chapters. The earliest date to which this Contemptor Dreadnought's history can be traced for certain is the middle of the 31st Millennium, linking it to the age of woe that followed the Horus Heresy known as the Great Scouring. Still, one earlier temporal imprint has been extracted from its sensorium core; 566.006.M31, a date known all too well to the Iron Hands, the Salamanders, the Raven Guard and their Successor Chapters: the day of the Drop Site Massacre.
