Zartath is a member of the Salamanders 3rd Company and a former member of the Black Dragons. During the Salamanders' attack on the world of Geviox a number of the third company were captured by the Dark Eldar and hunted through the Volgorrah Reef. Whilst battling the Dark Eldar the Salamanders encountered Zartath leading a group of escaped human slaves against the eldar.[1a] He led the Salamanders through the reef trying to avoid their pursuers. Eventually only Elysius, Ba'ken and Zartath remained; before they could be killed a squad of Firedrakes led by Praetor and Vulkan He'stan arrived in the Reef and teleported the survivors out. Upon being brought aboard the Salamanders' vessel Zarath was detained for study by Apothecary Emek.[1b]

Zartath was kept in a cell for study due to his chapter's mutations. Elysius often asked for Emek to release the Black Dragon due to Zartath's rescue of himself and Ba'ken from the Dark Eldar. Zarath objected fiercely to his imprisonment and considered it a breach of honour.[2a] Zartath would remain detained until the assault on Nocturne, escaping from his cell when Prometheus was damaged by an asteroid. Zartath fought against the Dark Eldar attacking Prometheus alongside Emek and Ba'ken. Despite repeated assaults by Mandrakes and Grotesques the Salamndewrs held firm until Ba'ken's injuries overcame him and Emek was slain by a Mandrake. Zartath protected the unconscious Ba'ken until help arrived.[2b]

Following the defense of Nocturne Zartath became a member of the Salamanders chapter. He accompanied Agatone and Exor to the world of Sturndrang in search of Tsu'gan.[3a] During the mission Zartath became afflicted by a loud keening noise which slowly drove him insane. Eventually Zartath and Exor located the source of the keening, a chaos space marine deep below the surface. Together Exor and Zartath eliminated the marine but Tsu'gan escaped. Following the mission's failure Zartath came in contact with members of his old chapter who believed the Salamanders had slain him.[3c]
