Garreon
Garreon, also known as the Corpsemaster, was the Lord Apothecary of the Astral Claws and later the Red Corsairs.[1a]
Overview
Before the Badab War, he was famous among fellow Apothecaries of the Adeptus Astartes for his scrolls and early documentation on gene-seed implantation.[1a] Along with his student Variel[2] and Forge Master Armanneus Valthex[1b], Garreon was instrumental in repairing the grievously wounded Lugft Huron at the end of the Badab War.[1a] His nickname "the Corpse Master" came not from a desire to see the dead rise, but from a pathological interest in the dead and dying. Garreon was quite well known for dissecting enemies and Red Corsairs alike, some of them while still alive.[1c] His repository of genetic knowledge is immense thanks to his frequent experiments and vivisections, sometimes even on new Red Corsairs inductees. Huron tolerates this situation as long as the warband is kept fit for his wars.[5]
Garreon has proven essential for the Red Corsairs, as the warbands demand for gene-seed is ceaseless and he alone is capable of maintaining what small stocks they have obtained. Garreon is one of Huron's few lieutenants that he feels is genuinely loyal,[3] but he knows that the Blackheart's favour will cease the moment he can no longer supply him with reinforcements.[5]
