Pious Korren is a Major of the Armageddon Steel Legion Imperial Guard. He is renowned as one of the greatest tank aces in the Steel Legion's history, earning his title in the Third War for Armageddon.[1]

History

Pious Korren was born into a family which traditionally served in the Imperial Navy, and the young Pious reluctantly joined the navy, never fitting in, showing little interest in his job, and frequently getting into disciplinary problems. He was dismissed by the Fleet Commissariat shortly before Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka launched his second invasion of Armageddon. The young Pious, stranded on his homeworld, found himself stranded at Hive Volcanus. Pious signed up for the nearest PDF militia unit and proved an exemplary officer cadet in the ground forces, quickly making 2nd Lieutenant and assigned command of a Leman Russ Battle Tank squadron. Towards the later stages of the war, Pious was one of the highest-rated tank aces of the entire Steel Legion, having scored hundreds of Ork vehicle kills, including three Stompas.[1]

The Iron Saint

Pious's most famed vehicle is a Shadowsword known as the Iron Saint. Over the course of the war, the crew of the Iron Saint went from an inexperienced rabble to a group of skilled veterans. The Iron Saint gained its greatest fame during the Battle of Anthrand Plain, where Pious and his crew single-handedly destroyed an enormous number of Ork vehicles over the course of a single night.[1]
