Add information for the aftermath of Taladorn. Fix the section stating Vogen promoted Garadon to veteran sergeant, that's not what the sentinels of terra codex supplement actually states.
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(Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]], he saw thought there was more to Garadon's potential than others let themselves see, and promoted him decided to a position within personally help Garadon unlock his potential. By the time Garadon was in the hallowed [[1st Company (Imperial Fists)|1st Company]] as a [[Space Marine Veteran Sergeant|Veteran Sergeant]]he had an unbreakable friendship with [[Julius Vogen]], and returned to the [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]] without hesitation. {{Fn|1c}}
In 969.M41{{Fn|1a}} Garadon took part in the [[Invasion of Taladorn]]. During the battle Garadon served as second in command for [[Julius Vogen]]. after landing via [[drop pod]] [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]] made its way into the fortress following the trail of destruction left by [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]]. As they wen through the fortress a running battle broke out between them and the [[Iron Warriors]], during which a [[Daemon engine]] attacked them, and killed [[Julius Vogen]], leaving Garadon in command. After killing the [[Daemon engine]] the [[Iron Warriors]] retreated and Garadon had 3rd company press on. After entering the pinnacle of the command spire he had [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]] head towards the fight 5th company, 1st company, and [[Darnath Lysander]] were in the middle of. After Garadon had the company form a defensive circle a [[Heldrake]] damaged an [[Imperial Fist]] [[stormraven]], causing it to crash right through [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]]'s position, after which they were decimated by nearby enemies. During the fighting Garadon's right arm was shattered by an autocannon shell. When [[Cato Sicarius]] offered assistance for the second time in the battle, and [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]] refused for a second time, Garadon turned on his comm and formally accepted their assistance. He then ignored [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]] screaming on the comm, turned on his teleportation homer, and was surrounded by 30 [[Ultramarine]] [[Terminator|terminators]]. The battle turned in their favor but Garaon took little part in the scouring of the world later, as the [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] said he was unfit for battle.{{Fn|1d}}
In the aftermath of the battle Garadon became disillusioned with [[Darnath Lysander]]'s reckless leadership which caused unnecessary casualties .{{Fn|1c}} Three times on the voyage home from Taladorn Garadon tried talking to [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]] to see if he had any remorse for what happened in the battle, each time Garadon was angrily dismissed and contacted the last time [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]] threatened to strip Garadon of his rank. Garadon requested a private meeting with [[Chapter Master ]] [[Vladimir Pugh]] and told him exactly what happened on Taladorn, [[Vladimir Pugh|Pugh]] commended Garadon for speaking on the matter. When a chapter council was convened to judge [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]]Garadon stood in the space set aside for the 3rd company captain, who though he had no vote as an acting captain. He was then called as a witness and calmly explained what had happened on Taladorn. When [[Vladimir Pugh|Pugh]] assigned [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander recalled ]] as captain of the third company to rebuild it, as a punishment that would not divide the chapter captains, Garadon was disappointed that he wasn''t taking permanent command of the company, and angry that the man who almost destroyed it was now in charge of it.{{Fn|1e}} While rebuilding the company Garadon was surprised that [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]] consulted him on which battle brothers to promote to sergeant, though their conversations were akward due to their mutual dislike. Garadon started to gain a grudging respect for [[PhalanxDarnath Lysander|Lysander]]'' due to stand before his professionalism in his new duties, as well as the Chapter Councilapology he offered for threatening to demote Garadon.{{Fn|1c1f}}
In 994.M41 Garadon 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 realised that these [[Tyranid]]s were from the same strain that [[Shon'tu]] unleashed during the [[Infestation on Drashin]]. During the battle, known as the [[Triumph at Victorix]], both companies were able to defend the planet and the artefact was kept safe.{{Fn|1a}}
