Tor Garadon is the Captain of the Imperial Fists 3rd Company.

History

Recruited into the Chapter from the orbitals of Callisto, his wealthy family were glad to see him depart for fate had cursed him with a stubborn and straightforward nature. During his first decade of service Garadon earned high amounts of commendations but was not offered any promotions. Garadon earned a name for himself during the Nosfer Planetstrike, when the 3rd Company became stranded behind Necron lines under Lord Zangeneb. There, Garadon was forced to take command after his Captain Opara was killed and led 6 surviving Battle Brothers in rear assaults.^[1c]

When Captain Julius Vogen took command of the 3rd Company, he saw Garadon's potential and promoted him to a position within the hallowed 1st Company as a Veteran Sergeant. Garadon later played a key role in the Invasion of Taladorn. In the aftermath of the battle Garadon became disillusioned with Lysander's reckless leadership which caused unnecessary casualties and contacted Chapter Master Vladimir Pugh, who had Lysander recalled to the Phalanx to stand before the Chapter Council.^[1c]

After the Siege of Hydra Cordatus the 3rd Company is slain to a man. Garadon receives permission to leave the 2nd Company and rebuild the 3rd. Many veterans of the Crusade of Thunder arrive to be transferred into the rebuilt formation under Garadon.^[1a] Garadon was left on the Phalanx to rebuild the Company while Lysander and Vorn Hagan left with 5 Companies for a Crusade. However Warsmith Shon'tu assaulted the Phalanx in its vulnerable state, leaving Garadon and a small force of Imperial Fists to defend the vessel.^[1a] Ultimately, Garadon's small force was saved by the Legion of the Damned. Garadon then arrived over Cadia and fought alongside Imperial defenders against Abaddon the Despoiler.^[2]

Since the Age of the Dark Imperium began, Tor Garadon has crossed the Rubicon Primaris and become a Primaris Space Marine.^[3] He later nearly came to blows with Iron Hands Master of the Forge Feirros during the Battle of Xalladin.^[4]
