History

The Watch Company was commanded by Captain Daox Glykas, who joined his forces with those of Inquisitor Athocles Van Roth in M42. The Inquisitor then used this combined strike force to defend himself, as he sought to master using Baddkrasha's Crown on the Ork and Tyranid infested Maiden World Veloria. However using the Xenos device, drew numerous Ork warships to the Crown's location. Their fleet retreated to avoid being destroyed, but Van Roth came up with a plan to allow his forces to escape. For it to succeed though, it would require them to work with Eldar, they discovered had been left stranded on Veloria. When Glykas later told his Watch Company of this, Gahleen was among those who were against it. The Watch Sergeant argued that working with the Eldar, would taint them all. While Glykas listened to the naysayers, he was ultimately swayed to follow Van Roth's plan by the Librarian Heathobar. Doing so, the Psyker explained, would give them the best chance to prevent the Orks from reclaiming the Crown, which the Watch Company had first taken from King Mek Baddkrasha. While the plan later succeeded, however, the Orks still overran Van Roth and Watch Captain Glykas' forces.[1a]
