Serghar Targost
Serghar Targost was the Captain of the 7th Company of the Luna Wolves Space Marine Legion, as well as the lodge-master of the warrior-lodge that existed within the legion.
Targost commissioned the mold for the lodge medallions from a remembrancer silversmith assigned to the Vengeful Spirit, whom he killed shortly afterward to preserve the secrecy of the lodges.[4]
Targost believed passionately in the role of the warrior-lodge, stating that as genetic constructs employed singularly for war, the Astartes needed a way to form and express their bonds of brotherhood in a way that wasn't constrained by the pressures of duty.[1a] Targost operated as the voice of the lodge, regulating and organising the meetings.[1a] In his role of lodge-master, he was instrumental in the decision to place the wounded Horus into the care of the Serpent Lodge, thus ensuring Horus' damnation.[2]
As a senior officer of the Sons of Horus and one who saw things from the Warmaster's point of view, Targost co-commanded the initial Sons of Horus deployments against the loyalist marines upon Isstvan III.[3]
Targost was blunt in appearance, with a scarred forehead.[1b]
