[[Warmaster]] '''Slaydo''' (born circa 600.[[M41]], died 765.M41) was the first commander of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]].
His early career is hard to follow, but Slaydo's real fame began during the Khulan Wars (752-754) during which he mustered a massive army and triumphed very decisivelywhich he led to a decisive victory. His huge popularity with the troops, combined with his obvious military genius, led to Slaydo being named Warmaster in 755 by the [[High Lords of Terra]], and charged with the liberation of the [[Sabbat Worlds]].
Even while still a [[Lord General Militant|Lord Militant]] in the 9th Division Pacificus, he had supported the concept of a [[crusade]] to liberate the Sabbat Worlds, and in 732 he had drawn up ''A Reasoned Approach to the Reconquest of the Sabbat Territories'' for consideration by High Command. He had a deep-seated passion for the cause of [[Saint Sabbat]], the original liberator of the Sabbat Worlds, and believed it to be an imperial crime that her hard won territories had been discarded into the hands of [[Chaos]]. Thus, the great Slaydo proceeded to launch the Sabbat Worlds Crusade with characteristic drive and genius.
