Marchese
Marchese was a Captain of the Eighth Pardus Armoured regiment. Active during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, he had command of the Leman Russ Conqueror P48J.[1a]
When the Eighth Pardus Armoured were deployed on Hagia, Marchese was assigned to the Pardus contingent of an honour guard led by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt. The guard was tasked with travelling to the Shrinehold of Saint Sabbat, where they would retrieve the Saint's remains for transport offworld in the face of impending Chaos reinforcements.[1a] On reaching the Shrinehold, however, the honour guard was forced to defend it against an Infardi army that had cut off their retreat. During the battle, the P48J was destroyed by an enemy tank, killing everyone on board, including Marchese.[1b]
