Ercuros Tor
Ercuros Tor was a former Captain of the Imperial Fists's Fifth Company, who had served the Chapter for nearly one hundred and fifty years and also wielded the power sword Sunderer.[1a]
History
In M42, he led the Fifth Company in a series of successful battles against the forces of Chaos, on Osmal II and Shondarch. Sometime later, they would answer a dire Astropathic warning that a rebellion had broken out on Ghyre from the Fifth Company Sergeant Larrus Torgan, who had been stationed on the important Mining World. One year and twenty-six cycles sidereal later, the Fifth Company arrived at Ghyre aboard the Strike Cruiser Wrathful. Upon arriving on its surface, Tor and his Command Squad met with the Mining World's High Marshal Anthonius Kallistus, to begin planning Ghyre's defense. However before any words could be spoken, Epistolary Aster Lydorran sensed a sudden rush of kinetic energy and raised his psychic defenses to defend against the attack. It would be too late, though, and Captain Tor was slain by a sniper[1a]. In the subsequent mayhem that erupted, Lydorran discovered the sniper and killed her in vengeance for Tor's death, before she could escape. He would then take command of the Fifth Company, as they did battle with the Genestealer Cult of the Wrything Wyrm, which was revealed to be behind the rebellion on Ghyre and the death of Captain Tor.[1b]
