Igen Gargo
Igen Gargo was a member of the Salamanders Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
At some point he lost both of his arms in battle and had them replaced with artificial limbs. Following the Battle of Nocturne, Gargo was among the three Salamanders to discover the reborn Vulkan at Mount Deathfire alongside Barek Zytos and Atok Abidemi. The three were named Vulkan's Draaksward, his traveling companions on his journey through the Webway to Terra. Igen Gargo, along with Vulkan and the rest of the Draaksward, eventually reached the Imperial Palace on Terra after an arduous journey.[1]
Later during the Siege of Terra Zytos alongside his two battle-brothers moved to defend the Western Hemispheric region of the Palace walls from an attack by the Thousand Sons. In the subsequent battle they were aided by Bodvar Bjarki and his pack of Space Wolves.[2a] Learning from Promeus that their apparent defeat of the Thousand Sons attack had just been a ruse to allow Magnus and an entourage to infiltrate the Palace. The group confronted Magnus and the Thousand Sons before the Golden Throne, and during the battle Zytos died to save Vulkan from the Crimson King. After the battle Abidemi and Gargo alongside Bjarki joined the group of Nathaniel Garro and Garviel Loken.[2b]
