Born among the lower castes of [[Colchis]], Sor Talgron was inducted into the [[Word Bearers]] [[Legion]] at some point during the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1d}} His mentor, [[Volkhar Wreth]], predicted that he would rise far within the legion and was proven right when Talgron was elevated to [[Captain|Captaincy]] cy of the 34th Company.{{Fn|1e}} Talgron was present when his legion was humiliated for their worship of the [[Emperor]] at [[Monarchia]], and although not particularly devout, especially by Word Bearer standards, he carried the shame of that moment for many years afterwards.{{Fn|1c}}
During the Great Crusade as part of the [[Perpetual Spiral Chapter]] Talgron participated in the war against the inhabitants of [[Forty-Seven Sixteen]] despite advocating for their re-education rather than destruction and was one of the first marines to reach their central citadel, where he was horrified to discover that the people of the planet worshiped the Emperor and that the war against them had been a mistake. Alerting legion command, he was further confused when [[Lorgar]], [[Erebus]] and [[Kor Phaeron]] ordered the people massacred, unaware that his legion's commanders had secretly turned against the Emperor. Despite his confusion his faith in Lorgar proved strong enough for him to accept the event and he joined his superiors in betrayal.{{Fn|2}}
