One of the earliest [[Martian]] Titan Legions known as the [[Triad Ferrum Morgulus]], the Legion became known as hardened religious traditionalists. After the [[Mechanicum]] union with the [[Imperium]] they left Mars as part of the [[Great Crusade]], fighting alongside the 1st [[Expeditionary Fleet]] led by the [[Emperor]] himself. They became known as the ''Masters of Fire'' during this time for their scorched earth tactics and tendency to reduce cities to rubble in their fervor. When [[Fabricator-General]] [[Kelbor-Hal]] joined the forces of [[Horus]], the Legion enthusiastically joined their master due to their fervent belief in the [[Cult Mechanicus]].{{Fn|3}}
During the [[Battle of Calth]] they were part of the false muster on [[Calth]], when they turned on their former brothers of [[Legio Praesagius]], destroying several loyalist Titans before the Legio regrouped and counterattacked.{{Fn|2a}} The Fire Masters attempted to massacre the civilian population of [[Ithraca]] to appease their new [[Gods of Chaos|Dark Gods]]{{Fn|2b}}.During the subsequent [[Crusade of Iron]] and [[Shadow Crusade]], the Fire Masters were highly active and led by Princeps Maximus [[Horgoth Nyr]].{{Fn|6}}
Millennia later after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, the Fire Masters took part in the [[War of Beasts]] on [[Vigilus]].{{Fn|5}}
