'''Vulkan He'stan''' is the current [[Forgefather]] of the [[Salamanders]].<sup>1</sup>
===Forgefather===
As Forgefather, He'stan has worked his way from system to system in search of the [[Artefacts of Vulkan|nine artefacts of Vulkan]], his only clues coming from the [[Tome of Fire]], which is extremely difficult to interpret, let alone put into use. Instead of calling solely on members of the fourth company, He'stan can call on any number of Salamanders to aid him in his quest. The Salamanders are more than happy to cleanse an area of a world on a rumour that a piece of their history is there.<sup>1</sup>
He'stan accompanied [[Praetor]] and the [[Firedrakes]] when they went in pursuit and rescue of [[Chaplain]] [[Elysius]], to retrieve [[Vulkan's Sigil]]. During this time they battled the [[Dark Eldar]] and had to infiltrate the [[webway]] and a Dark Eldar city, where it was revealed that the Forgefather knew the language of the enemy.<sup>2b</sup>
===Wargear===
He'stan carries three of the most sacred nine relics of the Chapter: the left behind by his namesake and Primarch; *The [[Spear of Vulkan]], which can set even burn [[ceramite]] ablaze<sup>1</sup>. He'stan often throws the Spear, enabling the strength of the weapon to be used at range.<sup>2a</sup>*[[Kesare's Mantle]], a legendary drakescale cloak, and the granting He'stan extra protection due to its strength.<sup>1</sup>*The [[Gauntlet of the Forge]], whose molten rage few could endurean armoured gauntlet that is also a heavy flamer.<sup>21</sup>
