Garos Hargrim
Garos Hargrim was the Chaplain of the Imperial Fists Legion's Third Company during the Horus Heresy and defended the Imperial Palace from the Traitor Legions during the Siege of Terra. When the infiltrator Macellanos attempted to assassinate the Emperor during the Siege, Hargrim took up his Company's splintered Banner and slew the Traitor; though he himself was killed by Macellanos, even as the Chaplain struck the Traitor down.[1]
After Hargrim's death, his Primarch Dorn ordered the golden crest that adorned the Third Company's Banner be reforged as a Crozius Arcanum, to honour the Chaplain's memory. Known as the Angel of Sacrifice, it has been borne by every Third Company Chaplain since then and is seen by those who wield it, as both an honour and a weighty burden.[1]
