Sigismund is an Imperial Fist from Warhammer 40,000's backstory.

We don't know much about what he did, but during the Great Crusade, he became known for his skill and hot-headedness. He is referred to as one of the best Astartes in close combat skill, as in him among maybe 4 others. Also, he apparently bested Kharn in a duel in the novel, Betrayer, and Sevatar mentioned duelling him for 20 hours before he got tired of no one winning and decided to cheat and headbutt him just to end it. And much like Ahmed Ibn Fadlan in the 13th Warrior, Sigismund lived amongst the World Eaters more than he did amongst his own legion and began to take to their ways, for example, chaining your weapons to your arms. He served as First Captain and equerry to the primarch. When Dorn left to join the Emperor for the final attack of the Horus Heresy, he chose Sigismund to be the Emperor's Champion and lead the Imperial Fists ground forces in his place. During this time he challenged 1??MORE THAN TWO DOZENS traitor champions to single combat and buttfucked them all without taking any smoking breaks. BOSS. Prior to the Siege, he also led a mission to Mars to retrieve as many weapons and suits of armour as was possible since Mars was by that time, FUCKED. In addition he is known for his quote from a conversation with Garviel Loken; "In the far future, there will only be war."

After the Heresy, the Imperial Fists were divided into three Chapters, in accordance with the Codex Astartes reforms. Dorn placed the most zealous Imperial Fists under Sigismund's command, forming the Black Templars. They promptly set out on their eternal Crusade.
