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 which 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.[[M41]] by the [[High Lords of Terra]], and charged with the liberation of the [[Sabbat Worlds]].{{Cite This}}.
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 the 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 lost to the hands of [[Chaos]]. Thus, the great Slaydo proceeded to launch the Sabbat Worlds Crusade with characteristic drive and genius{{Cite This}}.
