Castellan Crowe in action against the forces of Chaos^2a

Castellan Crowe is a Brotherhood Champion of the Grey Knights Chapter. He is head of the Purifiers order and the bearer of the Blade of Antwyr, a daemon sword that cannot be destroyed or wielded by a lesser mortal.¹

Crowe's wardenship of the Blade of Antwyr has brought him both physical and spiritual peril. When not fighting the maddened mortals and desperate daemons that are drawn by the sword's evil, Crowe must do psychic battle with the Blade itself, for it strives ever to tempt him wiht promises of power or bind his will with the blackest sorceries. As such, Crowe never draws upon the Blade's powers, relying instead on its physical properties and his own skill at arms.^2a

History

In 888.M41, the daemon Skulltaker's Blood Crusade seizes the desolate planet of Birmingham and begins rituals that will transform it into a Daemon World. Crowe deploys along with the Grey Knights of strike force Iron Helm into the heart of the daemonic horde. Judging that no other Grey Knight had the skill to best Skulltaker, Crowe challenged the daemon to single combat. Using a vial of the Emperor's crystalised tears to consecrate the ground, Crowe managed to weaken Skulltaker just enough to force a protracted stalemate. As Crowe battled Skulltaker to a standstill in the twilit ruins of the spaceport, the Grey Knights defeated the daemon horde.^2b
