Ulrach Branthan was the Captain of the 65th Clan-Company of the Iron Hands Legion, who escaped from Istvaan V with a contingent of Iron Hands aboard the Sisypheum.[1] Branthan was seriously injured during the Drop Site Massacre. Both is legs had been mutilated, one severed above the knee and one left shredded pieces of meat and bone. One arm was held on only by bone and shredded skin and the other, his cybernetic arm was ruined. worst of his injuries was his chest which was ruined by four bolter rounds. His body was recovered and brought aboard the Sisypheum. The Apothecary realised his ravaged body was beyond repair. With no Dreadnoughts available the Apothecary turned to the next option and used the Cybernetic replacement organ known as The Heart of Iron, a relic from the Dark Age of Technology. The device wrapped around his ravaged chest like a mechanical spider, keeping his twin hearts beating. This however only prolonged his pain as the device fed off of his vitality. To ease his pain they placed him in a medical casket with a stasis field generator. In the months and years following the disaster on Istvaan V when the need arose the crew of the Sisypheum placed his ravaged body, still attached to The Heart of Iron in a Dreadnought body that once belonged to Brother Bombastus. Finally revived he would take full command of the Sisypheum.
