Word Bearers - 7th Grand Company/Host: Argel Tal - Argel Tal was a former Captain of the Word Bearers Legion who served in the 7th Assault Company of the Serrated Suns Chapter. After the Word Bearers chastisement by the Emperor on the world of Khur, and the subsequent "pilgrimage" undertaken by the Word Bearers' Primarch Lorgar Aurelian into the Eye of Terror, the Serrated Suns Chapter was reduced to only three active companies in number after their sojourn into the Eye. Those members that that returned from their journey, returned changed. The direct favour of Lorgar was bestowed upon the survivors, who would later become known as the Gal Vorbak (Colchisian for "Blessed Sons"), and resulted in the elevation of their leader, Argel Tal, to the post of Chapter Master of the Serrated Sun. These "Dark Brethren" became the first of the Daemonhosts later known as the Possessed amongst the Forces of Chaos. Argel Tal would later be known as the "Crimson Lord" of the elite the Gal Vorbak. He would go on to take part in many major campaigns of the Horus Heresy, including the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V, the Shadow Crusade in the Realms of Ultramar, and the massacre on the World Eaters' Primarch Angron's homeworld of Nuceria, where Argel Tal would meet his dark fate.Xaphen - Chaplain of the 7th Assault Company of the Chapter of the Serrated Suns.Nemur Ennat - Nemur Ennat was the Sub-Captain of the 5th Heavy Assault Company of the Serrated Suns Chapter. Ennat was originally attached to the command of First Captain Kor Phaeron, the powerful if often unpopular executive officer of the XVIIth Legion. Kor Phaeron transferred Ennat's company to the Serrated Suns Chapter to act as his eyes and ears within the Chapter that bore Lorgar's favour following their pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror. Though part of the Serrated Suns Chapter, the 5th Company were not Gal Vorbak, and during the fighting in the Urgall Depression atthe Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V, they were left isolated by the Gal Vorbaks' sudden departure after they transformed into their daemonic forms. The 5th Company soon found themselves surrounded by Raven Guard warriors attempting to force a breach in the Word Bearers' lines. Ennat himself was slain when a squadron of Iron Warriors' Typhon Heavy Siege Tanks began to lay down a punishing bombardment against the Raven Guard at his position, heedless of the casualties caused among their allies.Dagotal - Sergeant, Dagotal Outrider SquadMalnor - Sergeant, Malnor Assault SquadTorgal - Sergeant, Torgal Assault SquadApis Merenkar - Apis Merenkar was a Legionary of the Nemarros Tactical Squad of the 7th Assault Company, Serrated Suns Chapter. Legionary Merenkar was amongst the Gal Vorbak deployed into the foothills on the Urgall Depression's right flank during the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V to oppose the Raven Guard's attempts to reach their waiting gunships. This area saw some of the battle's bloodiest fighting as the Primarch Corax scythed a path through the massed ranks of the Word Bearers to clear a path for his sons. Merenkar's unit was last sighted engaging several Raven Guard companies in a headlong charge, well ahead of the nearby Word Bearers Chapters. Evidence was later seized that his abandoned wargear was recovered from the battlefield by an Iron Warriors provender detachment, but no identifiable corpse was found for Merenkar or any member of his squad amongst the mounds of slain Raven Guard rent apart and strewn across the field.Eduhkar of the Annunake - During the Great Crusade, Eduhkar was widely lauded in Imperial battlegroup records for his heroism during the Sarapis Compliance against the monstrous xenos known as the Fra'al. As a result of irreparable wounds taken in the battles there, he was interred into a Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought chassis. He willingly followed his Primarch in the Word Bearers' descent into heresy and the worship of the Ruinous Powers. In the aftermath of the massacre on Istvaan V, Eduhkar's flame-scorched sarcophagus was found amongst the foothills of the Urgall Mountains, on the edge of the fighting where a small force of Salamanders had attempted to break through the encircling Traitors. His broken Dreadnought body was still locked in his final struggle with the ruins of a Salamanders Dreadnought, identified only by the legend "Dragon of Sarapis".
