Galan Mauger
Galan Mauger is a veteran Black Templars Marshal, who commands the Caedomian Crusade.[1]
History
He was recalled from the Deathwatch, in order to lead the Caedomian Crusade which was attached to an Indomitus Crusade Battle Group. Mauger's forces were then reinforced with Primaris Black Templar Greyshields, but unlike many of his Chapter's other Crusades, Mauger's Firstborn Brothers were slow to accept these new warriors. Tensions still remained high as Mauger led them in the Indomitus Crusade and his forces were later struck by a disaster. A gruelling eight-day battle saw the Caedomian Crusade suffer significant losses and in its aftermath, Mauger sought to perform an act of penance. He chose to undergo the Rubicon Primaris for the losses the Crusade suffered and in the hopes of bridging the divisions within his forces. The operation was a success and Mauger emerged shriven of his sins and filled with bloody determination to serve the God-Emperor.[1]
Since then, Mauger has become a brutal and fanatical figure even by the standards of the Black Templars. The Crusade has become known for its brutality on Imperial populations as well as the gruelling trials that its Neophytes must undertake.[2]
