Kar'Tor
Kar'Tor was a Praetor-Captain in the Salamanders Legion during the Great Crusade and in its last years he was heir-designate to the Protectorate of the Nocturne city Themis.[1]
Due to his actions during the Crusade, Kar'Tor was once numbered amongst the most valiant of Nocturne's sons, but his will was shattered during the Dropsite Massacre. He would survive the horrors of Isstvan V though and afterwards reached the Blood Angels Homeworld, along with other survivors of the Warmaster Horus' treachery. These members of the Shattered Legions, then aided the Warden Arkhad in defending Baal, but the Salamanders there felt adrift after the decimation of their Legion. This changed sometime later however, when the warship Ebon Drake arrived at Baal, from Nocturne, seeking information as to what happened to their Primarch Vulkan and Legion. After learning what befell the Legion during the Dropsite Massacre though, the Ebon Drake's commander, Chaplain-Lieutenant Xiaphas Jurr, stated the warship would travel to Isstvan V to search for signs of their Primarch. The Chaplain then asked the Salamanders on Baal to join his strike force on their mission, but Kar'Tor, who was now just a shell of his former self, strictly forbid it. However despite his order, thirty-eight Salamanders, as well as seventeen Raven Guard and three Iron Hands, departed with the Ebon Drake on their desperate mission.[1]
