He was promoted to Chapter Master in 900.M41 and was one of the few surviving Crimson Fists when the [[Arx Tyrannus]] was destroyed during the Ork invasion of [[Rynn's World]] in 989.M41. Kantor was on the outskirts of the monastery doing routine inspection, and he quickly gathered up the survivors and marched to [[New Rynn City]], a trek that took ten days. Here they linked up with the other Crimson Fists survivors and the [[PDF]], and managed to defeat the main Ork force.{{Fn|4b}}
The decision to conserve ones one's forces rather than strike at an opponent with all the might one can muster is a difficult one for a proud Space Marine. A bold military operation would probably have destroyed any hopes of rebuilding the chapter, so Kantor had to use his forces in smaller operations where the elite Space Marines could inflict maximum damage for a minimal loss of manpower. Even after the winning the war, Kantor had to do his utmost to keep the [[High Lords of Terra]] from disbanding the chapter due to the extensive losses.{{cite this}}
Kantor is still Chapter Master and the Crimson Fists are almost at half their original strength as of 999.M41.{{Fn|2}} He later appeared as one of the primary Imperial commanders during the [[War of Beasts]], leading the defense of the Dirkden Fortwall.{{Fn|3}}
==Equipment==
Pedro Kantor's weapons include a [[power fist]] and [[Dorn's Arrow]], an ancient and venerated storm bolter named after [[Rogal Dorn]], the [[Primarch]] of the [[Imperial Fists]] (of the same gene-seed line as the Crimson Fists). It is loaded via a back -mounted powered drum feed commonly seen on vehicles, carrying approx. 800 [[Kraken Pattern Penetrator Rounds]]. This allows for a faster rate of fire at double that of a standard Storm bolter with marginally improved armor penetration.{{cite this}}
