Darnath Lysander is an Imperial Fists special character, long thought deceased. He first appeared in the Liber Honorus Imperial Fists 567.M40 as a sergeant in command of a unit in the 2nd Company where he was victorious over a group of heretics on Iduno at the Battle of Colonial Bridge. He was then promoted to command of the 2nd Company in 585.M40 after successfully boarding and capturing an Eldar Cruiser named Blood of Khaine.
He then went on to command the three year siege of Haddrake Tor, leading the drop pod assault to take the highest peaks where he set up Teleport Homers, allowing the Imperial Fist Terminators to beam in and assault the lower levels. The heretics however, manipulated the warp and many Terminators emerged into stone or over precipices. Lysander saw the death of the Captain of the 1st Company, Kleitus and from him received the Thunder Hammer, the Fist of Dorn which he used to go on and conquer the heretics.
Due to the sudden destruction of much of the 1st Company, Lysander was promoted to First Captain, Master of the 1st Company, Overseer of the Armoury and Watch Commander of the Phalanx. He went on to lead the 1st Company for many years, always striving to be the first into battle, leading some to believe him to be reckless and foolhardy, but he was lucky until his appointed day of death.
Lysander and a force of Imperial Fists he was leading disappeared in a warp storm and, after some time, were pronounced dead by the remainder of the Imperial Fists chapter. In truth, Lysander's ship re-emerged into Chaos-held space...caught right in the gun sights of several Iron Warrior spacecraft. Lysander and the survivors of the ensuing barrage were taken by the Iron Warriors to one of their accursed fortress worlds, Malodrax, and tortured. Eventually Lysander, without weapons or armour, escaped and fought his way out to freedom. When he returned to the Imperial Fists Chapter, several centuries had passed in the material universe. After he was thoroughly screened by chapter specialists, Lysander was reinstated to his position as Captain of the 1st Company. Lysander then lead a force to raze the Iron Warriors from Malodrax and laid it to waste, thereby achieving vengeance.
At some point in his career, Lysander apprehended the mutant Soul Drinker Sarpedon.
Wargear
Lysander is most famous for wearing his suit of Terminator Armour and carrying the Fist of Dorn and a Storm Shield. His armour is also highly embellished with purity seals and incorporates a Teleport homer.
