Calan is the current Chapter Master of the Storm Warriors Chapter. In his duties as Chapter Master, he leads the Storm Warriors in constant Crusades that seek lost planets and ancient treasures which greatly aid the Imperium. It was as they were journeying home from the completion of their latest Crusade, that Calan received orders to aid an Imperium task force in putting down a rebellion on the planet Tesra IV. As the rest of the task force gathered above Tesra IV, Calan was informed that Inquisitor Andrijssen, of the Ordo Hereticus, wished to meet with him, aboard the Chapter's Battle Barge the Sirius, to discuss how best to end the rebellion. Once they met, Andrijssen presented Calan with a list of the rebellion's members which included its leader, Ignatius, Tesra IV's Planetary Governor, who began the rebellion in order to secede from the Imperium. With is leader identified, Andrijssen informed Calan he had a Vindicare assassin on the planet, which would end the rebellion, but would require Calan to meet with Ignatius alone. Calan quickly agreed and arranged to have a meeting with the Governor, who was not aware that his part behind the rebellion had been discovered.[1]

When they later met in Ignatius's winter palace, Calan gave the Governor the list of the rebellion's leaders, which included his name, and informed Ignatius that he would order their arrests and serve the Imperium faithfully from then on. An enraged Ignatius refused and Calan signaled the Vindicare Assassiin, who shot the Governor with an injection of poison. Calan explained to the shocked Governor, that the poison now flowing through his body was incurable and would give him a painful death; unless every day he drank a vial of an antidote, which he would be given if he agreed to end his plans to secede from the Imperium. An enraged Ignatius summoned his guards, which promptly surrounded Calan. Before he could give the order to kill the Chapter Master however, the poison flowing through his body began to take effect and he quickly realized he had no choice. Ignatius did not want to die and quickly agreed to Calan's demands; which resulted in the deaths of his co-conspirators and the ending of the rebellion on Tesra IV. With the Governor's cooperation and loyalty secured, Calan returned to the Sirius where he was congratulated by members of the task force. Calan then gave Lord Admiral Dacius command of the situation on Tesra IV, and ordered his Chapter to finally return to their Homeworld.[1]
