Gerder
Gerder is a Cadian Lord General with an impeccable military pedigree, who was a part of the high command for Warmaster Ryse's Imperial Crusade.
When Ryse later said he was going to promote Ursarkar E. Creed to General and give him a portion of the Crusade's forces to command, Gerder objected. He claimed Creed was too young for the promotion, but he and the other objectors relented after Ryse angrily described Creed's victories and military brilliance. The Lord General claimed however, that Ryse would be held accountable by the Imperium, if Creed failed in his new responsibilities. As Creed's later history has proven though, Gerder's threat never came to pass.[1]
