Partly because of those shrouded circumstances and the uncomfortable lengths the Sigillite would go to to protect humanity, Garro would repeatedly say that his ultimate fate would not lie on Titan. Therefore while he is a major contributor to the Grey Knights, it is unlikely he
will
be one of them.

Given rules as part of the lead-up to
HH
Book 6 'Retribution', Garro can be a trolltastic addition to an army. He's built up as a challenge character, earning double combat resolution scores and gaining a 3+ invulnerable save. Despite this, he's not a combat monster, as ''Libertas'' is only a two-handed blade with AP3, despite having Rending. However, Garro's Death Guard resilience shows through, having ''Eternal Warrior'' AND the chance to get back from death the first time he kicks the bucket during battle.

Captain of the [[Luna Wolves]] 10th Company, who is very much the protagonist of the first trilogy of Horus Heresy novels. He was known for being able to think independently and rationally, as well as being exceptionally humane for an Astartes. A true stoic and
a principle
person, as well as a bad-ass. Was thought dead after the planet he was on was bombed
with virus-
and then fire
bombs
,
surviving
a 3 month siege by 4 traitor legions and a warlord titan,
after
being defeated by [[Abaddon]] in a duel and
after
having a building collapse on him, trapping him in the rubble, while the planet was being bombed into dust for a
second
time, this time with cyclone bombs. [[Not as planned|But NOPE]]! When Nathaniel Garro first discovered him, survivor's guilt and distrust had driven him half mad and he was convinced he was the only Loyalist left alive in the Imperium. Calling himself Cerberus, due to an inability to remember his own name, he then forced a reign of terror upon the totally dead, but [[Nurgle|reanimated]] population (read: Plague Zombies) of Isstvan III. Was supposedly the final member that Garro would recruit according to Malcador, although other members were inducted after Loken himself.

*'''Macer Varren''' - A [[World Eaters]] Captain who was one of a group of loyalist refugees that fled to the Terran Solar system, a cockney-marine (despite being visualized as Scottish Gerard Butler) and an utter badass. Surprisingly level-headed for someone with the Butcher's Nails jammed into his brain.

*'''Sevarian (The Wolf)''' - Not a Space Wolf, though artwork portrays him to look similar to one, but a [[Luna Wolves|Luna Wolf]]. He was a member of the Crusader Host (basically Space Marine Ambassadors to Terra) but was imprisoned on Terra with all bar the Imperial Fists due to suspicion. He broke out of prison and was brought back into the fold by the Samurai (not kidding)
Nasagena
. He is a latent psyker whose powers were unlocked by Magnus' psychic message that broke the Golden Throne, though Malcador explains it such that Sevarian uses them so instinctually that he does not know he has them, which makes him unique.

**Sevarian was also an early addition to the Knights-Errant, being recruited by Malcador directly about two years into the Heresy, but was recruited before Rubio since it was Sevarian's psychic abilities which that identified other potential candidates for recruitment, giving Garro a list of twenty names to find.

*'''Bror Tyrfinger''' - An actual Space Wolf. His name translates to "Brother Bullfinger" in danish, so that's at least something. Tyrfing is also
a
name of the sword made by dwarves in the legend of Tyrfing. It was said that due to this it could never rust, dull or miss; but it also carried a curse of having to kill a man each time it was drawn.
