Gottrand is a Space Marine of the Deathwatch, originally hailing from the Space Wolves Chapter, in which he held the rank of Blood Claw.[1]

Gottrand was one of the Marines stationed at Watch Fortress Zarabek when it was discovered by the Ordo Xenos that human pirates operating in the Teramus System somehow had access to functional Eldar lance weapons mounted on their ships. In a debate between the Marines present over the issue, Gottrand favoured a direct assault on the pirates to the point of accusing the other Marines of cowardice, only backing down when the Veteran Thucyid rebuked him. In the end, Watch Captain Ska Mordentodt allowed Sergeant Courlanth to assemble a Kill-Team to lead a mission into the Teramus system to uncover the source of the weapons and eliminate them; Gottrand was selected by Courlanth for the mission.[1]

Although Gottrand objected to the stealth-based nature of the initial stages of the mission, Courlanth led the Kill-Team in infiltrating the pirates' asteroid base and discovered that the pirate leader, Arlon Buke, had entered into a pact with the Dark Eldar of the Kabal of the Crimson Blossom. When he saw that the pirates were trading captured slaves to the xenos in exchange for weapons and drugs, Courlanth abandoned stealth and ordered an attack on the Kabal and the pirates alike. Gottrand survived the resulting fight with only minor injuries sustained in combat with a Clawed Fiend.[1]

Wargear

Gottrand was armed with Hjormir, a chainsword edged with kraken teeth that had been borne by his Great Company since the days of Leman Russ.[1]
