[[Image:Parol.jpg|thumb|right|Admiral Parol<sup>2</sup>]]
[[Admiral]] '''Parol''' is the commander of the [[Imperial Navy]] fleet of the [[Armageddon]] system.
The second son of the Imperial Commander of Lostan, Parol was destined to enter the Navy from a young age. A veteran of many campaigns, he is known to be an expert strategist and planner. During the [[Third War for Armageddon]], Parol helped turn the tide of the combat by setting up a very tight blockade around Armageddon. This, combined with the actions of the ''Glorious Age'' battlegroup and an ingenious 'sneak attack' tactic that involved battleships approaching [[Ork]] [[Space Hulk |space hulks]] powered down, cut the number of Ork reinforcements significantly. However, the Orks could still use their [[tellyporta]] technology to land reinforcements from a transport ship hidden in the system. Destruction of this vessel became Parol's main preoccupation.
When a particularly impressive space hulk was detected hiding in the debris of [[Armageddon Monitoring Stations|Mannheim]] station, Parol led the chase personally. The capabilities of the hulk were so superior to anything encountered before that Parol was convinced it was the main Ork [[Mekboy]] vessel and probably carried the arch-mekanik [[Orkimedes]] himself. Parol's vessel attempted to initiate a boarding action on the space hulk just as it slipped into the [[warp]]. As yet, no trace of either ship has been found; Admiral Parol is believed to still be in pursuit of Orkimedes.
