Gadatas bal Nurval
Gadatas bal Nurval is a Lieutenant in the Tome Keepers' 3rd Company, who took part in the Indomitus Crusade.[1a]
He served in Task Force XI's Argovon Campaign, which saw them do battle with the Necron. During the Campaign, Nurval led the 3rd Company's forces[1a] that fought on Hishrea[1b]. He was later among the Imperial charge that advanced upon the Necron, in order to topple the two Dolmen Gates the Xenos were using to bring reinforcements to the world. However to do that, the Task Force had to pass through Hishrea's Nurtheos Shore, which was held by the Necron. In the battle that followed, Nurval sighted the Necron's Lord and the Lieutenant immediately led his Bladeguard Veterans against the Xenos commander. The outcome of their battle is not known[1c], but the Imperial forces succeeded in destroying the Dolmen Gates. However Hishrea was later ordered to be evacuated, by the commanding Admiral Archibalda Tansk, after a large Necron fleet arrived in the world's orbit.[1b]
