Atal Tyvar
Atal Tyvar is an Adeptus Custodes Shield-Captain, that commanded a Torchbearers strike force sent to supply the Brazen Drakes, with the gift of Primaris Space Marines.[1]
When they reached the Chapter's Homeworld, Khassedur, however they found it gripped by a rebellion seemingly at the Brazen Drakes' hands. After discovering the Chapter's traitorous actions, Tyvar declared them to be Hereticus Diabolus Extremis and ordered the Greyshields sent to reinforce the Brazen Drakes be detained. When the Greyshields tried to declare their innocence, aboard Tyvar's flagship Lux-Imperatus, a battle broke out between the two sides. The Greyshields Captain Gerion then informed his forces that they had been betrayed by the Imperium and the battle soon spread to the entire fleet. An enraged Tyvar, killed Gerion and has now declared that his strike force will not rest, until they have destroyed all of the Brazen Drakes.[2]
When the Greyshields were contained, Tyvar's forces then attacked the Brazen Drakes and ended their civil war, between traitor and loyalist factions. The ragged remnants led by their Chapter Master Argento Corian, however, escaped and later fled into the Cadian System. After the surviving Brazen Drake Greyshields were executed, Tyvar ordered his fleet to pursue Corian and the survivors of his Chapter. When the Torchberers strike force finally reached the traitors, though, the Brazen Drakes had been reborn as the Shriven Warband and had allied themselves with Fabius Bile.[1]
During the subsequent War of the Spider Tyvar pursued the Shriven, first to Bairsten Prime and then to Dessah. On Dessah the Shriven were largely destroyed, but Bile escaped and Tyvar's host became embroiled in a battle with the Plague Fleet.[3]
