==Biography==
Stronos served for years as [[Space Marine Captain|Iron-Captain]] of [[Clan Garrsak]] before he was inducted into the Iron Hands Chaplaincy, eventually traveling to [[Mars|Sacred Mars]] for training as a [[Techmarine]]. His reverence of the machine and hatred of weakness earned him a place on the [[Clan Council]], and his ruthlessness and desire to succeed made him the logical choice to be the de facto Chapter Master of the Iron Hands, taking all power and responsibilities for campaigns involving multiple Clan Companies and seceding power back to the Clan Council upon the end of the campaign. It is a testament of his skill as a leader and warrior that the Clan Council has appointed him Commander for over three consecutive centuries. Under his leadership, the Iron Hands have destroyed [[Waaagh!]] [[Drezgnod]] and the renegade [[Blood Heralds]], as well as purging [[Hive Fleet]] [[Moloch]] from the [[Regis System]].{{fn|2}} Of all the enemies the Iron Hands have faced, it is the [[Necron]]s that Kadan Stronos hates the most, viewing the soulless automatons as abominations in the eyes of the [[Omnissiah]]. When expecting to face Necron forces, Stronos will persecute the wars with the Necrons more perniciously than the Clan Council believe to be necessary.{{fn|2}}
Stronos's desire to eradicate weakness has extended to his fellow Iron Hands, arguing that the Clan Council should be expanded to include more than just the technically minded Iron Fathers. At his urging, the Clan Council has expanded to include Iron-Captains, [[Apothecaries]], [[Chaplain]]s, and others, broadening the collective wisdom of the Iron Hands. Stronos also believes that by suppressing their emotions, the Iron Hands are making themselves weaker, believing that only by experiencing and mastering their emotions can they become the perfect [[Space Marines]]. While his actions have undoubtedly strengthened the Chapter, many other Iron Fathers view the changes he has made with caution. Stronos has long displayed difficulty mastering his emotions, and many fear that he will suffer the same fate as their [[Primarch]] [[Ferrus Manus]] in allowing his anger to overcome his judgement.{{Fn|2}}
== Appearance==
He lost his right eye in a proving cage to the antlers of a wild oryx.The eye was later replaced with a [[augmetic]] one.{{fn|6a}} His right leg above the knee was gray scar tissue. The leg was replaced by a augmetic after the original was lost to a plasma pulse device.{{fn|6b}} On Thennos he suffered the destruction of his mouth and oesophageal tract after [[Iron Father]] [[Kristos]] removed his helmet in their fight. His Nose, mouth, and chin where all cut away and replaced by a metal funnel. His damaged lungs where also replaced by augmetic ones. Direct electrochemical transfer now accounted for seventy-three per cent of his required sustenance with the remainder imbibed by fluid intravenous drip.{{fn|7a}} He had also gone to [[Magos]] [[Phi]] to receive the brain augmentations needed to becoming a [[Iron Father]].The augments allowed the Iron Fathers to be able to interface with the ancient technologies of [[The Eye of Medusa]] and to forge a network in which communication was almost instantaneous. The surgeries were performed by Magos Phi and Stronos' [[Servitor]] [[Jeil]]. During the surgeries the roof of stronos skull was cut away. Phi was going to make a single longitudinal incision into the meninges.Then once that was removed insert probes into his frontal and parietal lobes in preparation for implantation. Then she would draw his brain fully from the skull in order to access the dorsal regions of the temporal lobe and the cerebellum. Before she could though Jeil stabbed her through the back of the head with his suction hose. Stronos then broke free and acted threw his [[equerry]]-[[servitor]] controlling it to kill Jeil by choking him to death. Stronos then found the top of his head in a organ tray. He put it back on and used Jeil’s manual driver and screws from the clamps of his operation table to bolt it back in place.{{fn|7b}}
