'''Macaroth''' was a high-ranking [[general]] of the [[Imperial Guard]] who became the [[Warmaster]] of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] after the death of his predecessor, [[Slaydo]].{{Fn|2}}

Young, and relatively undistinguished compared to the other senior commanders of the Crusade, Macaroth came to Slaydo's notice during the [[Battle for Balhaut]], assuming command of the force on the [[Balopolis]] front after all three of his immediate superiors were killed or incapacitated in as many days. Slaydo granted him a battlefield promotion to [[Marshal (Imperial Guard)|Marshal]], and Macaroth took control of the entire front, turning what was seen as an impending Imperial defeat into a great victory.{{Fn|1a}}

However, the Crusade was stalled by the rise of [[Urlock Gaur]], a brutal Chaos warlord in command of a disciplined army, the [[Blood Pact]]. Macaroth also knew he could not afford to underestimate the abilities of [[Anakwanar Sek]], the most brilliant of Nadzybar's former lieutenants, who continued to plague the Crusade in the years after Balhaut.{{Fn|1f}}
