'''Telemechrus''', originally known as '''Gabriel Telemach''', was a [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion ]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}} ==Biography==Telemach had only served in his legion for 10 years in his legion before he was grievously wounded and was interred in [[Contemptor Dreadnought]] armorarmour. However , he bitterly resented his new status.{{Fn|2a}}
Nevertheless, Telemechrus was awoken during the desperation of the [[Battle of Calth]] when his transport ship was destroyed and his containment sarcophagus plummeted to the surface.{{Fn|2b}} During the battle, he fought with a vigor that was a result of his deep level of bonding with his mechanical suit in a way not even [[Tech-Priest]]s could understand. He fought on the side of Tetrarch [[Eikos Lamiad]] at [[Komesh]] and went on to lead the assault at [[Lanshear]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2c}}
