Dauntless Valour

Dauntless Valour was a Freeblade Knight active in the centuries after the Horus Heresy. It was still a time of great suspicion between the Imperium and its allies, when some Knights stood on the brink of turning traitor or were discredited and defamed by their rivals. This would prove disastrous for the Dauntless Valour, when he took part in the Allax Crusade's victory processional, where he would begin a rivalry with the Freeblade Truth of Mars. It began when the Freeblades argued with each other, over who was to be given the honour of marching first though the Arches of Truimph, during the processional on Petrum V. Though both were staunch Loyalists, and constantly tried to outdo the other with their acts of devotion and piety, this incident would consume them both.[1]

In the years that followed they leveled accusations of treachery and heresy at the other, playing a cruel game of lies and defamation. Numerous times they even traded blows in battle, each citing the attacks as evidence of the other's weak moral fiber and festering treachery. Ironically, the Freeblades' actions destroyed both of their reputations and drew upon them the attention of the Inquisition; who were convinced that the lies the Freeblades had told about each other were true. Separate attempts were launched to bring the Freeblades to justice and in the end, the Dauntless Valour and Truth of Mars each fell in their attempts to fight against the Inquisition's might.[1]
