Biography
Issachar led 3rd company during the chapter's return to Piscina IV when it was suffering from unrest, as well as resurgent Orks. During this time he came info conflict with Asmodai, who was demanding that Colonel Brade of the Piscina Free Militia step down and relinquish control of local forces to the Dark Angels.[2b] When this started Issachar sent a Battle-Brother to get Sapphon, who would hopefully get Asmodai to stand down.[2a] This got to the point where they were arguing in front of the Colonel after Asmodai called Issachar's opinion on the matter irrelevant. Shortly after Sapphon arrived and had Asmodai leave with him.[2b] After Sapphon finished chastising Asmodai, Issachar asked him why Azrael put up with Asmodai. Sapphon told him Asmodai had his uses and reminded them moderation and mercy are choices, as well as Asmodai being a harsh judge of himself.[2c]
At some point he was replaced as Master of Third Company, later in 999.M41 it was now led by Astoran.[3]
