From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Nathadian Desh is an Adeptus Custodes Shield-Captain of the Dread Host, who wears black upon his power armor as a mark of shame.[1]

Biography

His Shield Company follows suit for the same reason, which comes from the Adeptus Custodes' inability to protect the Emperor during the Siege of Terra. As a result of this strong feeling of shame, Desh leads the Company in a never-ending Crusade for redemption, as an act of penance for the Custodes' failures. The Shield Company truly believes only the destruction of the Emperor's enemies can wash away the ancient stench of failure and defeat. So far during the course of their Crusade, Desh has notably destroyed a Cerastus Knight and has caused an entire mob of charging Ork Boyz to flee from him.[1]

Trivia

Nathadian Desh was created by the Games Workshop employee Elliot Hamer. He was showcased in the 9th Edition Custodes codex.[1]
