Anton Narvaez
Anton Narvaez was a Lieutenant Commander of the Marines Errant at the time of the Badab War.[1]
Biography
Although a seasoned warrior who had battled among unknown stars as part of the Marines Errant's ancient pact with the Rogue Trader House of Ecale, Narvaez was young for his rank and was given command of the 4th Company, a role which also brought with it flag-captaincy of the strike cruiser Star Jackal, the Company's principal warship.[1]
The newly anointed officer was to show his mettle first during an ambush by the Secessionist forces. Outnumbered and outgunned, the convoy was surrounded by the Astral Claws in a brutal naval combat. Honed by experience in countless void battles in the Rogue Trader's service and decisive leadership, He succeeded in repelling boarders and allowed the Star Jackal to escape the trap.[1]
It was only recurrent problems caused by the damage of this battle that forced the ship to fall behind in his chapter's pursuit of the Mantis Warriors to Bellerophon's Fall where so many Marines Errant officers were to die. It fell to Narvaez to mount the rescue mission after the deadly battle, in which he succeeded in saving the besieged survivors. He was the last surviving commander in the Badab War and managed to reform his Chapter into a fighting force again, a mere shadow of their shattered strength. He earned the title of "Master-Locum" of the chapter (Master replacement).([1]
