Crimson Sabres - Notable Crimson Sabres: Chapter Master Sevastus Kranon - Sevastus Kranon was the final Chapter Master of the Loyalist Crimson Sabres Chapter before their fall to Chaos -- and became the Chaos Lord of the Crimson Slaughter known as Kranon the Relentless after their fall from the Emperor's grace.Chapter Master Drabek - Drabek was a Chapter Master sometime during the 39th Millennium. Despite the heroics and their many instances of sacrifice, then Chapter Master Drabek became increasingly convinced that the reputation of his Chapter was in question. To those on far-off Terra, this was not the case -- for the Crimson Sabres were amongst the most highly decorated forces that participated in the campaigns in the Segmentum Tempestus. To those who fought alongside them, however, Drabek's assessment was accurate. Many allies were growing frustrated with the highly critical and overly suspicious nature of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Chapter Master Arnoch the Intransigent - Arnoch assumed command of the Crimson Sabres upon the death of Nigellus in 599.M38. Arnoch succeeded Nigellus as Chapter Master of the Crimson Sabres, but the new traditions he had established lived on. If anything, the Chapter became yet more fervent and exacting in its strict adherence to orders. Arnoch became known as the Intransigent -- a title that would be used to describe all the Chapter Masters that followed. In one of his first acts, Arnoch the Intransigent sought to further banish their hidden past, wary of how others might judge the Chapter. He made the decision to seal all entrances to the Sanctum of the Sword, located within the Chapter's fortress-monastery. Not only did it lock away evidence of a perceived imperfection, but it was also his declaration that the past was over and a new era begun.Chapter Master Nigellus - Former Chapter Master of the then-Loyalist Crimson Sabres Chapter in the mid-38th Millennium. When the Crimson Sabres received words of censure from Terra for their actions during the Amalgamathian Schism for breaching unspoken protocol, Nigellus was determined to shed his Chapter's growing self-doubt and make a statement. In a bold move, he declared the Crimson Sabres would sever all ties to their brother Space Marine Chapters, including their founders. They would be loyal to the tactical guidelines laid out by the Codex Astartes and follow uncompromisingly all orders as issued by the High Lords of Terra. To all others, they would be unanswerable. In this action, he sought to free the Crimson Sabres from faulty judgement and therefore all reproach. When self-doubt began to gnaw at many within the Chapter, Nigellus ordered to scrub clean all evidence of their forebears and the Chapter's full history was locked away. Years later, while suppressing a rebellion over the Hive World of Fornstadt, the Crimson Sabres become embroiled in a brutal clash with Chaos Cultists. Master Nigellus was slain in his 112th year as Chapter Master -- his last action was to expose the source of the rebellion, which rested with the Alpha Legion. Before dying, he named Arnoch his successor.Chief Librarian Xastus Mannon - Mannon was the final Chief Librarian of the Crimson Sabres Chapter. During the massacre on Umidia, the Crimson Sabres were enraged at being manipulated by a Greater Daemon into committing a massacre against innocents. Led by Mannon, a small squad of Crimson Sabre scouts tracked down and confronted the Greater Daemon that was behind the nefarious plot. As they battled the Lord of Change, named Tzax'lantar, Mannon was instrumental in overcoming the vile Warp-spawned creature with his innate psychic abilities. Thinking they had banished the foul daemon back into the Immaterium, unknown to his fellow Battle-Brothers, Mannon's body was instead subsumed by the foul denizen of Chaos. Following the Crimson Sabres' excommunication, flight and corruption within the Eye of Terror, Mannon became Chief Sorcerer of the Crimson Slaughter. When his true nature was revealed, the Greater Daemon Tzax'lantar fled Kranon's wrath, and continues to elude him to this day.Forge Master Gorthus - Forge Master of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Reclusiarch Okrark - Reclusiarch of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Captain Dzargon Draznicht - The brutal slayer known as Draznicht was once reckoned the wisest mind amongst all the Astartes of the Crimson Sabres, and was the Captain of the 1st Company.Captain Sevarion Kranon - Sevarion Kranon was the Captain of the Crimson Sabres' 2nd Company and the biological brother of Sevastus Kranon. Sevarion refused to give into the bloodthirst that possessed his fellow Battle-Brothers during the massacre of Umidia, and was imprisoned by his brother for his disobedience aboard the Chapter flagship Red Honour. However the curse his entire Chapter came under from Khorne eventually drove this once noble soul completely mad during his confinement. Eventually, Sevarion was imprisoned within the cold cybernetic shell of a Helbrute, a variant form of a Chaos Dreadnought and renamed Mortis Metalikus. He was consumed by murderous rage and grotesquely corrupted by the Ruinous Powers of Chaos. Metalikus was finally slain in the days before the 13th Black Crusade, a fate he welcomed as release from his tortured existence.Captain Braglan Ragnald - Captain of the 3rd Company of the Crimson Sabres Chapter, Ragnald was the eldest of the Captains within the Chapter before its fall to Chaos.Captain Eli Dzarton - Captain of the 4th Company of the Crimson Sabres Chapter, Dzarton was a powerfully built man, even by Space Marine standards, popular not only among his fellow captains but also the lower-ranked Brothers of the Chapter. Though he did not covet Sevastus Kranon's position, it was no secret that Dzarton would likely lead the Crimson Sabres in the future. Following the massacre on Umidia, and the Crimson Sabres' excommunication after the genocide committed on Demetra, Dzarton willingly followed Chapter Master Kranon into the Eye of Terror in a suicidal campaign to seek glorious martyrdom. When Kranon changed his mind several standard years later and abandoned their cause, Captain Dzarton departed, taking with him many of the men of his former company and the Chapter warship Pride of Rhoghon. He swore that if they ever met again with the rest of the Chapter they would be foes. Captain Dzarton and his fifty-nine followers of the 4th Company re-established a secret base upon their old homeworld of Rhoghon in realspace. It is still rad-contaminated, but it is Dzarton's hope to restore the old Crimson Sabres Chapter to Loyalist purity and service to the Emperor. He vowed to hunt down and slay Kranon as his penance to the Emperor.Captain Shergon - Captain of the 5th Company of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Captain Barkman - Captain of the 6th Company of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Captain Kiestor - Captain of the 7th Company of the Crimson Sabres Chapter.Captain Nthicrar - Captain of the 9th Company of he Crimson Sabres Chapter.Captain Murdok - Murdok was the former Captain of the 10th Scout Company who was grievously wounded while fighting against the Tyranids in the galactic south that threatened a chain of Agri-Worlds vital to the continued existence of three entire sub-sectors and the lives of over a hundred billion souls.
