== History ==Mannheim was obliged by his oath of loyalty to the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] to follow an insane order of the corrupted [[heretic]] [[Herman von Strab]], [[Imperial Commander|Overlord ]] of Armageddon. von Von Strab commanded Legio Metallica to stem the onrushing [[Ork]] tide, even though the [[Imperial]] forces would be outnumbered by more than three to one. Knowing it would be his final mission,{{Fn|3}} Mannheim dressed in his best uniform, said goodbye to his wife and children{{Cite this}} and climbed aboard his [[Emperor Class Titan]], ''[[Steel Hammer]]'', with pride.{{Fn|3}}
With his Titan critically damaged after destroying three Ork [[Gargant]]s in combat, Mannheim steered ''Steel Hammer'' to the center of the Ork horde and overloaded its plasma reactors, causing a major meltdown and massive explosion. With this action, he took a million Orks with him to the grave. The rest of the Titan Legion was almost completely destroyed by the Orks and took no further part in the campaign.{{Fn|3}}
At the conclusion of the war, Kurtiz Mannheim was posthumously awarded the [[Emperor's Star]] for his mighty deeds. His Titan Legion has been rebuilt and has fought with determination in the [[Third War for Armageddon]], with Mannheim's memory a shining example of the most dutiful and dedicated of warriors.{{Cite This}} On the planet of Armageddon between the local populace Mannheim became like a saint hero of the Imperium and has his own holy day.{{Fn|3}}
