Editing Characters of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (section)

===Captain Abridal===

Captain of the [[Imperial Navy Battlecruiser|Overlord-class Battlecruiser]] ''Flame of Purity'' and third canonical character encountered in the campaign, Spire would occasionally run into Abridal as he worked to stabilize the Gothic Sector during the Black Crusade. The good captain would eventually go out in a blaze of glory at the climax of the '''Battle of Schindlegeist''', as he pushed his ship into the point where the warp beams of three [[Blackstone Fortress]]es converged. 

While his ship was destroyed, Abridal's sacrifice saved the system's star, and stymied Abaddon's plans. This led to an eventual Imperial victory, as the Despoiler was forced to retreat back into the Eye of Terror.

The good captain re-appears in the second game, though mostly to put doubt into Spire's conscience as he runs down a particularly smarmy Tzeentch-worshipper. Spire is forced to take him down, but in the end is forced to admit that even he wasn't really sure if he killed the ''real'' Abridal, or a Chaos-induced hallucination.
