'''Spire''' is an [[Admiral]] of the [[Imperial Navy]].
Back at [[Port Maw (planet)|Port Maw]], Spire relayed the encounter to the [[Gothic Sector]]'s high command. Considering his background and thus possible corruption, he was subjected to a brutal interrogation by the [[Inquisition]] to ensure that his information was reliable and he himself a trustworthy commander. Afterwards, he was promoted to the rank of Admiral by [[Cornelius von Ravensburg]]. Spire proved his skill during the following [[12th Black Crusade]]. He played a vital role of keeping [[xenos]] artifacts out of the hands of [[Chaos]] forces during the war, helped to forge an alliance with the [[Aeldari Corsairs|Aeldari Corsair]] Prince [[Eldrathain Voidstinger]], and fought in major engements such as the [[Battle of Gethsemane]] and [[Battle of Schindlegeist]].{{Fn|1}}
Spire and his survival fleet returned from the Warp at the time of the [[13th Black Crusade]], discovering that eight centuries had passed in the [[Materium]]. During the renewed war in the [[Cadian System]] against the forces of [[Abaddon]], Spire met with the reborn [[Roboute Guilliman]] and retained a position of high command.{{Fn|2}}
