Carcharodons - Notable Carcharodons: Shade Lord Tyberos, "The Red Wake" - Tyberos, known as the Reaper Lord of the Void, is the current shade lord of the Carcharodons Astra and commander of the fabled Battle Barge Nicor. He also serves as Company Master of the Carcharodons' elite 1st Company, known as the "Red Brethren." Tyberos was the Force Commander of the Carcharodons during their unlooked-for and savage intervention in the Badab War. Wearing an archaic suit of Terminator Armour (which made his rapid combat style all the more impressive) and wielding a pair of unique gauntlet-based power weapons dubbed "Hunger" and "Slake", he often led his so-called "Red Brethren" Terminators of the 1st Company in bloody assault after bloody assault, carving a path of mangled corpses through the rebel forces of the Badab campaign. Each of these gauntlets incorporates the howling adamantium teeth of a chainfist with the multiple talon-like blades of a Lightning Claw. If these extraordinary weapons do exist, they would go a long way to explaining the tales of butchery that surround this nigh-mythical "Lord Reaper of the Void."Forgotten One - The "Forgotten One" is the name given by the Carcharodons to the leader who sent them into exile in the outer dark, most likely their unknown primarch.Company Master Akamu - Harvester Prime and Company Master of the Carcharodon's 2nd Company.Company Master Bail Sharr - Reaper Prime and Company Master of the Carcharodon's 3rd Company. He wears an ancient relic suit of Mark III Iron Pattern Power Armour, inherited from the previous Company Master. The breastplate is embossed with the skull and lightning bolts of the Terran Unification Wars, the same ancient battle honour worn on the armour of every company captain, and even the Red Wake's mighty Terminator Armour. The helm bears a wicked ceramite crest that runs along its Vox-uplink strip, while the visor is inscribed with a white, razor-toothed maw and, over its left temple, the intertwined shark-and-scythe symbol of the 3rd Company. Bail Sharr assumed command from Company Master Akia sometime in early 800's.M41, when he was killed while fighting against vile xenos.Company Master Akia (KIA) - Former Company Master of the Carcharodon's 3rd Company and Sharr's predecessor.Company Master Mannfor - Mannfor commanded the Carcharodons strike cruiser Ma-tahe and its company of Astartes as part of the Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Secundus, Battlegroup Betaris. Not all heroes of the crusade's fleets earned the joyous gratitude of foe-scoured worlds or the hearty camaraderie of war zone brotherhoods. Company Master Mannfor of the Carcharodons Chapter was a taciturn and scarred warrior, who exuded a predatory menace. His deadly warriors were recorded fighting alongside Fleet Secundus on at least two occasions, before each time sliding back into the void, and Imperial forces that witnessed his savage way of war gave him a variety of grim epithets. To the dour companies of the Death Korps of Krieg, he was the "Grey Phantom," while the artillerymen of the Filkuun batteries whispered of the "Maw-blade." Only a few of Mannfor's actions through the Mhoran Belt were witnessed directly. But so many were the sites of his bloody slaughter that Mannfor's name became an invocation of terrible vengeance by many of Fleet Secundus. When Heretic Astartes of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion defiled the Castellus Sanctic on Budor V, the Traitors repelled siege after siege. The diabolists gathered eldritch mists around the citadel, summoning nightmarish Daemons from the Warp. Yet other shades circled in the gloom. Mannfor sent quick feints against several points around the Castellus' perimeter before he suddenly led a lightning-fast strike from the mists. With augmented strength and savagery, the Carcharodons tore through the defences where they were weakest. Where the Word Bearers put up zealous resistance, Mannfor's warriors fluidly swept back, only for more Carcharodons to attack from another angle. Mannfor's chainsword, Skinshrive, ripped open Warp-spawned flesh and ancient relic power armour in frenzied fountains of blood and ichor. Within solar hours, the Castellus Sanctic was a dead shell. Its vaulted arches dripped with gore and in its plazas were piles of bloody corpses, grisly monuments to Imperial retribution.Chief Librarian Te Kahurangi - Known as the Pale Nomad, Te Kahurangi is the Chief Librarian of the Carcharodons Chapter. With the exception of the slumbering Greats in their white Dreadnought armour, Te Kahurangi was by far the oldest member of the Chapter. It was said that he was only three generations removed from the "Wandering Ancestors," the first of the Chapter to have gone into the void, alone, at the behest of the Forgotten One.Chaplain Nikora - 3rd Company Chaplain, 1st Squad. Wounded in action during the assault on Centrum Dominus on Zartak, suffering numerous broken bones.Apothecary Tama - 3rd Company Apothecary, 1st Squad. Interestingly, he has continued to uphold a Vow of Silence for almost a century.Techmarine Uthulu - 3rd Company Techmarine.Red Tane - 3rd Company Champion, 1st Squad. In battle, he carried the Coral Shield and the Void Sword, both ancient Terran relics that had been with the Chapter since the very first Day of Exile.Signifier Niko - 3rd Company Ancient, 1st Squad.Strike Leader Kahu (KIA) - 1st Company Veteran and Commander of Terminator Squad Red Wrath. Kahu was a warrior whose reputation for savagery was well-founded. In battle his violence was implacable, ceasing only when the enemy had been utterly annihilated. He embodied the Chapter's savage relentlessness. He was one of Lord Tyberos' enforcers, assigned to the roaming Battle Companies to ensure they followed the overall directives of the Chapter and the Nomad Predation fleet. There was no doubt in many Carcharodons leaders' minds that Kahu was not with a company to supplement its fighting power or provide tactical advice, but to ensure that an important objective was carried out in full. He was the eyes and ears of Lord Tyberos, and his orders would be to allow nothing to interfere with an operation's primary objective. While temporarily assigned to the 3rd Company, he was killed in action on Zartak during the Red Tithe operation being conducted there.Strike Veteran Dorthor - 3rd Company, 1st Squad Leader.Strike Leader Nuritona - 3rd Company, 2nd Tactical Squad Leader.Strike Leader Ruak - 3rd Company, 3rd Tactical Squad Leader.Strike Leader Ekara (KIA) - 3rd Company, 4th Tactical Squad Leader.

No one living knew just how Wandering Ancestor Itako had first fallen. The Chaplains of the Carcharodons Astra, guardians of the Chapter's ancient, near-mythic past, told different stories depending on the occasion. Some said he had been a Reaper Prime who had held a fortress breach for two solar days and a night alone, against a horde of insectoid Krulid, filling the gap with their twitching carcasses before succumbing to their poisons. Others said he had been the champion of the 3rd Company who had fought a Chaos Lord during one of the earliest Black Crusades. While the Traitor had cut him down with his final mighty blow, Itako had struck the warrior's head from his shoulders, turning back his warband before the darkness took him. The truth would likely never be known, but whatever combat had first seen him confined to his armoured sarcophagus, the towering Leviathan Dreadnought had eclipsed it with a dozen mighty feats since. From the Outer Dark to the Under-sectors, the grey-and-black-plated war machine had decimated armies and butchered warlords in a frenzy of bloodletting.
