Ambrose Caradoc
Ambrose Caradoc is a Freeblade Knight, who commands the Knight suit Crimson Wanderer.[1a]
His oath of secrecy prevents Ambrose from talking about anything of his past, except that he forsook his Knight House long ago. Now in the Age of the Dark Imperium, he wanders the Caligari Sector seeking to defend its worlds from Mankind's foes. When Nereus III was invaded by the forces of Chaos, Ambrose was among the Imperial forces that later arrived to defend it. However, he was later captured while protecting an Imperial command centre that fell to the invaders. Ambrose was then separated from his Knight and was among a groups of captured Imperials that were imprisoned within the command centre. An Inquisitor from the Caligari Conclave, later infiltrated the centre, though, and freed the surviving prisoners; allowing Ambrose to reunite with the Crimson Wanderer. Afterwards, the grateful Freeblade offered his services to the Inquisitor, who asked Ambrose to clear the way to a besieged Inquisitorial fortress on Nereus III. He gladly did so, and Ambrose then fought off an Alpha Legion attack on the fortress, killing its leader in the process. This allowed the Inquisitor to complete his mission and he soon left Nereus III, while Ambrose remained to continue defending the world[1a]. After Nereus had been relatively secured, though, the same Inquisitor would ask for Ambrose's help once more, to save Clamoris Prime from a Dark Eldar invasion. He readily agreed and largely due to the Freeblade's efforts, the Dark Eldar were defeated.[1b]
