Atesh Tarsa was an Apothecary of the Salamanders Legion, active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1a]
One of the few survivors of the Drop Site Massacre, Tarsa led other surviving Salamanders to the Sisypheum; they went on to wage a campaign of vengeance against the forces of Horus alongside fellow survivors from the Iron Hands and Raven Guard Legions.[1b]
Atesh Tarsa took part in the final mission of the Sisypheum on Luna during the Siege of Terra in order to safeguard the Magna Mater. During the battle he was grievously wounded in the explosion of the Herodotus Omega dome. Badly burnt, Tarsa managed to drag the Magna Mater to his comrades before hallucinating that Vulkan had arrived to rescue him. Tarsa died shortly after.[2a]
