'''Garviel Loken''' was the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Space Marine 10th Company(Luna Wolves)|10th company]] of the [[Luna Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion]] during the latter half of the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1d}} After distinguishing himself in battle, he was inducted into the [[Mournival]],{{Fn|1b}} the advisory council to the [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]], and from this position was a first-hand witness to the series of events that would result in Horus' damnation and the beginning of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Like many Veteran's Veterans of the Luna Wolves, Garviel Loken had participated in many conflicts prior to the Horus Heresy. Some, such as the induction of [[Sarosel]], were done bloodlessly and are remembered by Garviel for the amusing hats of the locals. Others are remembered for their oddity, such as the [[Battle of Keylek]] some Eighty years prior to the Heresy, where the Xenos species fought in a way that ran counter to the Space MarineMarines's. Garviel looks back on this conflict with some sadness. {{Fn|1f}}
Long an upwardly mobile officer, and friend to senior Captain [[Tarik Torgaddon]], Garviel Loken was inducted into the [[Mournival]] after the pacification of [[Sixty-Three-Nineteen]], the first Mournival member not to be a 'son of Horus', the term for those Luna Wolves who bore a facial similarity to their [[Primarch]].{{Fn|1b}}
==Wargear==
Loken wielded three blades during his career. These included the [[Chainsword]] he wielded as a member of the Luna Wolves, [[Tylos Rubio]]'s [[Force Sword]]{{Fn|12d}} given to him after his brother left for [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]], and [[Horus Aximand]]'s blade ''[[Mourn-it-All]]'' after he slew his former brother in the [[Siege of Terra]].{{Fn|12b}}

==Trivia==
{{Trivia}}
*[[Wikipedia:Cerberus|Cerberus]], the name adopted by Loken after the battle of Isstvan III, is the dog who guards the Underworld in classical mythology. Torgaddon joked that it was an appropriate appellation for Loken, the last Luna Wolf standing sentry over the graveyard of Isstvan III.{{Fn|6}}
