Changes

Recruited into the [[Chapter]] from the orbitals of [[Jupiter_#Moons|Callisto]], his wealthy family were glad to see him depart , for fate had cursed him with a stubborn and straightforward nature. During his first decade of service , Garadon earned high amounts of commendations but was not offered any promotions. Garadon earned a name for himself during the [[Nosfer Planetstrike]], when the 3rd Company became stranded behind [[Necron]] lines under [[Necron Lord|Lord]] [[Zangeneb]]. There, Garadon was forced to take command after his Captain , [[Opara ]], was killed and led 6 surviving Battle Brothers in rear assaults.{{Fn|1c}}

When Captain [[Julius Vogen]] took command of the 3rd Company, he saw Garadon's potential and promoted him to a position within the hallowed [[1st Company (Imperial Fists)|1st Company]] as a [[Space Marine Veteran Sergeant|Veteran Sergeant]]. Garadon later played a key role in the [[Invasion of Taladorn]]. In the aftermath of the battle Garadon became disillusioned with [[Darnath Lysander]]'s reckless leadership which caused unnecessary casualties and contacted Chapter Master [[Vladimir Pugh]], who had Lysander recalled to the ''[[Phalanx]]'' to stand before the Chapter Council.{{Fn|1c}}

In 994.M41 Garadon responds responded to a request for aid from [[Cato Sicarius]] of the [[Ultramarines, ]] to defend the [[shrine world]] [[Victorix ]] from the remnants of [[Hive Fleet]] [[Kraken]]. Upon arrival Garadon realizes realised that these [[TyranidsTyranid]] are s were from the same strain that [[Shon'tu]] unleashed during the [[Infestation on Drashin]]. During the battle, known as the [[Triump Triumph at Victorix]], both companies are were able to defend the planet and the artifact is artefact was kept safe.{{Fn|1a}}

In 997.M41 Garadon and his third company are the Third Company were requested by [[Darnath Lysander]] for the [[Defence of Miral II]] against the [[TyranidsTyranid]]s. During the battle Garadon had [[tactical squad|tactical]] and [[devastator squad]]'s shoot upon the Tyranids. A [[tacticae]] predicts predicted that they will would last 6 days, they end ended up lasting 7 and kill killed all of the [[Tyranids]].{{Fn|1a}}

In 997.M41{{Fn|1a}} , after being made Captain of the [[2ndCompany (Imperial Fists)|2nd Company]], Garadon cultivated alliances and ties with many famous Space Marines such as [[Cato Sicarius]] of the [[Ultramarines]], [[Colvane Brasch]] of the [[Invaders]], [[Erasmus Tycho]] of the [[Blood Angels]], and [[Draco]] of the [[Black Templars]].{{Fn|6}}

In 999.M41 After after the [[Siege of Hydra Cordatus]] , the 3rd Company was slain to a man. Garadon received permission to leave the 2nd Company and rebuild the 3rd. Many veterans of the [[Crusade of Thunder]] arrived to be transferred into the rebuilt formation under Garadon.{{Fn|1a}}

Garadon was left on the ''[[Phalanx]] '' to rebuild the Company company while [[Lysander]] and [[Vorn Hagan]] left with 5 Companies for a [[Crusade]], and 3 others were deployed to the [[Segmentum Obscurus]], leaving 30 members of the first company First Company and the brand new third company Third Company on the [[''Phalanx]]''. When the [[13th Black Crusade]] started , [[Warsmith]] [[Shon'tu]] and [[Daemon Prince]] [[Be'lakor]] [[Battle of the Phalanx|assaulted]] the ''Phalanx'', entering it via a warp. Garadon took command, rallying the crew and his battle brothers. When the ship was infected with corruption he withdrew his forces from those sections and ordered the [[''Phalanx]]'s '' weapons to shoot those sections. Once the infected sections were gone and the machine virus no longer had a hold on the ship , Garadon set it on a blind heading into the [[Immaterium]]. This made the [[Daemon]]'s that had invaded stronger, so Garadon gathered the remaineder remainder of his forces in the '''Chamber of Storms ''' to make a stand. When [[Be'lakor]] joined the fight , the [[Legion of the Damned]] arrived to help the [[Imperial Fists]], and [[Be'lakor]] was forced to retreat with his forces in the middle of a fight with Garadon. When the legion Legion didn't leave after the battle Garadon thought there was still something for the [[''Phalanx]] '' to do before returning to Terra. As soon as they set their course for [[Terra ]] the [[Librarian]]'s received a distress Hymnal hymnal from [[Cadia]]. Garadon overruled [[Trevaux]] 's and [[Furan]]'s objections to them responding and had the ''Phalanx '' set out for [[Cadia]].{{Fn|2a}}

When the [[Age of the Dark Imperium]] began, Tor Garadon led the [[''Phalanx]] '' to Terra , where he deployed a Company of Imperial Fists to help establish calm on the Throneworld following the [[Sack of the Lion's Gate]]. While on Terra he worked closely with [[Custodes ]] under [[Valerian]] against [[Chaos Cult]]s on Terra and later helped battle the [[Minotaurs]] following their participation in the [[Hexarchy]]'s coup.{{Fn|7}}  He later crossed the [[Rubicon Primaris]] and become a [[Primaris Space Marine]].{{Fn|3}} Alongside Lysander he is now one of the last surviving Fists from before the formation of the [[Great Rift]]. Since the [[Indomitus Crusade]] began he nearly came to blows with [[Iron Hands]] [[Master of the Forge]] [[Feirros]] during the [[Battle of Xalladin]].{{Fn|4}}
