'''Helbrecht''' is the [[High Marshal]] of the [[Black Templars]] [[chapterChapter]].<sup>1</sup>
==History==
===Ascent===
On the death of High Marshal [[Kordhel]] at the hands of a [[Chaos]] Champion, Helbrecht was chosen unanimously by all of the [[Marshal]]s in 989.[[M41]] after the subjugation of the [[Xenarchs]] of the [[Sigilare Nebula]]. He was ritually presented with the [[Sword of the High Marshals]] and immediately led a crusade against the [[Cythor Fiends]] in the [[Ghoul Stars]]. After 8 years of securing outlying system, Helbrecht moved on to the homeworlds of the Fiends, only to find them empty. The crusade was cut short when a request for aid came from [[Armageddon]]. [[Ghazghkull Thraka]] had returned and the Black Templars channelled their energies into stopping one of the greatest [[Waaagh!]]s.<sup>1</sup>
===Third Armageddon War===
Helbrecht returned to the ''[[Eternal Crusader]]'' and contacted Marshals [[Ricard]] of the [[Dimaris Crusade]] and [[Amalrich]] of the [[Tiberior Crusade]] and ordered them to Armageddon.<sup>1</sup> Upon arrival, Helbrecht assumed control of the space fleetSpace Fleet<sup>1,2</sup>, his skills at space combat having been honed by directing the vast fleet of the Black Templars, while the two crusades deployed to the surface. Helbrecht worked closely with [[Admiral]] [[Parol]] to storm and destroy Ork [[Rok]]s and ships in an effort to stem the tide of reinforcements. When Ghazghkull's suspected command ship was seen retreating from Armageddon, Helbrecht swore an oath to pursue and destroy him. As a sign of respect he allowed [[Commissar]] [[Yarrick]] to accompany him on the crusade.<sup>1</sup>
