'''Raldoron''' was the [[First Captain]]{{Fn|1a}} of the [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], [[Chapter Master]] of the Protectors{{Fn|2}}, and [[Equerry]] to the [[Primarch]] [[Sanguinius]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]]. He was chosen as First Captain because of his adaptable command style, something in sharp contrast with [[Azkaellon]], Commander of the [[Sanguinary Guard]]{{Fn|1a}}, and because he knew the hearts and minds of the battle-brothers of the IX Legion.{{Fn|1b}} He was also regarded as one of the most formidable warriors of the Legiones Astartes, compared with the likes of fellow First Captains [[Ezekyle Abaddon]] of the [[Black Legion|Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus]], [[Sigismund]] of the [[Imperial Fists]], and [[Jago Sevatarion]] of the [[Night Lords]].{{fn|5}} Following the Heresy, Raldoron became the first Chapter Master of the Blood Angels.{{Fn|6}}
