The Legio Praesagius, also known as the True Messengers, were a Titan Legion of the Collegia Titanica at the time of the Horus Heresy from the Forge World of Gantz.
History
The legion gained great fame during the Great Crusade at Tentrion. By the dawning of the 31st Millennium the True Messengers had been crippled by the continuing pace of their deployment, reduced to a third by casualties and with many of their surviving Titans unable to take to the field due to damage. Though the reputation of the Titan Legion remained intact, it could ill afford to remain at the tip of the spear of men and machines that was the Great Crusade. In recognition of the Titan Legion's service and eager to add to the defences of his newly established realm, Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines, prevailed upon the magos of the newly founded Forge World of Gantz to offer a new home to the Legio Praesagius[3]
Staying loyal to the forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy they defended the population of Ithraca from the Fire Masters with the aid of the Ultramarines during the Calth campaign.[1][2]
The nine Warlords of the Legio were destroyed in action during the Battle of Ithraca, sacrificing themselves to allow the remaining war engines of the Legio to disperse into Ithraca and continue the battle. In the annals of the Collegia Titanica, they are known as the Nine Paragons of Ithraca.[3]
