Dammekos, known officially as The Tyrant of Lochos, was a warlord of Olympia and adopted father to Perturabo before his rediscovery by the Emperor. Having raised Perturabo as a brutal, merciless, but efficient general, Dammekos used his adopted son's skills to defeat many of his rival warlords.[1][3] Despite his attempts to use Perturabo and the resentment the young Primarch had towards him, Dammekos seemed to have genuinely cared for the boy and constantly tried to assimilate him into his larger natural family.[4c]

Dammekos had three natural born children Herakon, Andos, and Calliphone, but considered none of them capable of succeeding him as Tyrant.[4a]

Later when the Emperor arrived, Perturabo ousted Dammekos and the warlord spent his remaining years attempting, unsuccessfully, to reestablish his power.[2] However he was still kept in a position by Perturabo, serving as Planetary Governor of Olympia throughout the Great Crusade. After his death, a power vacuum emerged that caused Olympia to rebel against the Emperor.[4b]
