'''Gustav Karlson II{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[Lord General]] on [[Armageddon]] and was the '''Chief of Staff of the [[Armageddon Secundus]] Command Guard''' when the [[First War for Armageddon]] began. When half of Armageddon's [[PDF]] turned to [[Heresy]], as the [[Space Hulk]] [[Devourer]] entered their planet's orbit, Gustav acted quickly and eliminated those units he could not absolutely rely on, in order to maintain control. His counterpart on [[Armageddon Prime]] was slower to react however, and was not able to raise a proper defense, before the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Angron]] and his forces invaded. As a result Armageddon Prime soon fell to Angron's forces, but the survivors of the [[Chaos]] attack were able to retreat to Armageddon Secundus; which remained a stable stronghold due to Gustav's actions.{{Fn|1a}}
Gustav would survive the war and later wrote a memoir of his experience fighting Angron's forces, which has just recently been found, after having been lost for centuries{{Fn|1a}}. Though his memoir gave a great incite into the First War for Armageddon, it was ordered suppressed by the [[Ordo Malleus]], who had it stored in their archives.{{Fn|1b}}
