'''Parkaso Gurai the Defeated/Reforged, Terminator Chapter Master of the Third Chapter (Guardians Reforged)'''

Parkaso Gurai was one of the greatest heroes of the Titan Marchers legion. A commander that had disgraced himself in the eyes of the Primarch, but regained his honor by rising to even greater heights during the Brotherwar.

Gurai began his career with the Titan Marchers a few short years after Raj had returned to the XVIIth legion. He was humble and a hard worker. He accepted his orders and never complained. This lead to him slowly but surely climbing through the ranks of the legion, until he ultimately found himself as first captain of the second battalion, third chapter, sometimes called the Guardians Unyielding.

Eventually Parkaso found himself on the planet of Yiknan, a frozen world inhabited by a human population that had regressed to a primitive state. The campaign, fought alongside the 221st Expedition Fleet lead by Emperor’s Dragoon Chapter Master Artus Ganon, went quite smoothly, with only one major setback occurring.

One of the natives’ archeotech cannons had brought down the Imperator Class Titan, Vis Murum. The enemy forces swarmed the site of the crash, but the marines of the third chapter held them back. Unfortunately, the then current Chapter Master of the third chapter perished in the fighting. Parkaso took up command of the third chapter and the 77th Expedition Fleet afterwards.

Parkaso lead the 77th Fleet of many decades, until the Invasion of Peorus. There, he failed to properly scout out a xeno city. This lead to him sending his forces into a trap, nearly wiping out two titan legios and three chapters, including his own. Raj Vokar’s rage was brought down upon Parkaso, who was relieved from command and sent back to the legion’s homeworld in order to oversee the training of neophytes.

Several decades later, during the Brotherwar, Manaan came under attack from the forces of Chaos. A warband of Smoke Stalkers, who would eventually rename themselves the Smog Haunters, unleashed terrible terror tactics upon the population of Manaan, but under the command of Parkaso Gurai the Titan Marchers struck back and sent the Smog Haunters running.

Not long after the Brotherwar the Titan Marchers legions split into several chapters. Parkaso was allowed to keep his command of the newly redubbed Guardians Reforged. He would lead them for centuries. The chapter still exists by the 41st Millennium, and Gurai is still considered a hero amongst Titan Marchers successors.

Parkaso fought in Terminator Armor, compensating for his lack of speed with brute strength. His go to equipment are his Storm Shield, the Insurmountable, and his Chainsword, the Stoic Demeanour, both of which became chapter artifacts after his death.

'''Taarush Amin, Techmarine, Legion Master of the XVIIth Legion, ex-Chapter Master of the Second Chapter (Moon Raiders)'''

Taarush was one of the most famous marines in the Titan Marchers legion, a brilliant engineer, and the first Master of the legion after Raj Vokar’s fall at the Siege of Terra.

Taarush began his service to the legion as part of the first batch of neophytes to be recruited from Manaan after Raj’s rediscovery by the Emperor early in the Great Crusade. After receiving training from the Magos of Mars, Taarush began climbing through the ranks of the legion. By the time Raj first met Lambach Kropor of the VIIIth legion, Taarush had already reached the rank of First Captain of the First Battalion of the Second Chapter. Not long after that he took over the position of Chapter Master.

Taarush became a favorite of Raj during his time as First Captain. He was a brilliant craftsman, constructing weaponry that neared Raj’s creations in terms of quality and attention to detail. Taarush’s work ethic and ingenuity quickly got him close to the Primarch’s inner circle, which ensured his promotion as soon as the previous Chapter Master died.

His most famous creation is the Heavy thunder hammer Raat’s Reckoning, a modified melee weapon fiercely powerful against heavily armored foes, cracking ceramite like clay. Equipped with his hammer, his servo-arms and a special plate of Artificer Armor, Taarush is the epitome of a techmarine and a perfect embodiment of the Titan Marchers’ ethos; Artifice, Strength, Willpower. 

After Raj’s death at the hands of Deshain Kane at the Siege of Terra, Taarush quickly rose above his grief and rekindled the Marchers’ passions after the loss of their gene-sire. He was unanimously elected to become Legion Master, commanding many battles during the Great Scouring. Command over the Moon Raiders fell to Taarush’s First Captain, Ujjal Kapani.

'''Onkar Sull, Nuqasaan Captain of the One Hundred Sixty Sixth Company (6th Company, 17th Chapter)

Seventh (Diamond Smiths)'''

'''Malrass Ror, Chaos Lord of the Iron Ancients Warband, previously Captain of the Two hundred Ninety-Eighth Company'''

Malrass Ror is one of the oldest Astartes in the Eye of Terror. Terran-born, he became part of the XVIIth legion shortly before it had been reunited with its gene-sire. Having been trained on Mars, Malrass was a techmarine. He served with excellence, but never climbed above the rank of captain.
His chapter, the 30th, also known as the Iron Ancients, was assigned to accompany the 414th Expedition Fleet, lead by Primarch Lambach Kropor himself. They would be supported by their twin Titan Legion: Legio Veterix. Over the course of the Great Crusade the 30th would build up a strong bond with the children of Kropor. They considered one another to be brothers as much as any marine from their own legions.

When the decades passed and the Warmasters’ Triumvirate was instated, orders eventually came to break off from the 414th. Upon returning to Manaan it became obvious that their separation would not be for long: Warmaster Je’She had called for the Censure of Lambach. Raj Vokar and Linares, Primarchs of the XVIIth and IVth legions respectively, were ordered to bring their brother back to Terra, in order for him to account for his actions, the use of forbidden sorcery. Raj and Linares sought to bring the situation to a peaceful end, and thusly Raj had called back the 30th chapter, so that they might help Lambach and his sons put down their weapons.

The Censure proved to be a disaster. A deep corruption had found its way into the mind and soul of the Primarch of the VIIIth legion, and soon warfare engulfed the Chosen’s homeworld of Miletus. The 30th chapter refused to attack their cousins however. They threw in their lot with the Chosen of Hecate and their new, dark overlords.

During the Brotherwar, Malrass fought his way to the top of the warband, a twisted remnant of the 30th chapter. The Iron Ancients, as they call themselves, have received the blessings from Nurgle, the Lord of Decay. Malrass himself has become a blighted mecha-lich, simultaneously a pale corpse and a mechanical abomination. After the virus bombing of the entire Separatist Spectre System, he became known as the Mecha-Lich of Spectre.

The Iron Ancients still use the Titans of old, now all possessed by daemons. The black, semi-spectral Titans bring death and decay to all those who lay their eyes upon them.

'''Balah Moyihd, Vexilarius'''

Balah Moyihd is a Vexillarius of the Titan Marchers Legion. He served in the 7th Chapter, during the Great Crusade and the Brotherwar, fighting with courage and honour while raising the huge blue-and-orange standard, with the Legion's symbol on it. He is well known for his seriousness and combat proficiency, and for inspiring the troops with speeches and chants. It is said that the Titan Marchers banner has never fallen to the ground while being carried by Balah. Not even when a traitor scout titan charged the one his battalion was covering, making most of it lose its feet and fall. Rumors extended that day, too, saying that, while raising the banner over his head as high as he could, he headbutted the foot of the traitor titan, and subsequently, it collapsed. Battle reports confirm that a volcano cannon shot hitted directly the traitor titan's power conduits, and made it fall. But rumours, are rumours, and legend arose.

'''Saheb Bahwar, the Cyclone. Master of Signal, Chapter Master of the Seventy-Seventh Chapter (Honorable Cyclones)'''

Saheb Bahwar was among the oldest members of the Titan Marchers, having been part of the influx of new recruits upon their Primarch’s reunification with his legion. As such had gained a fierce reputation as a master of every aspect of warfare. A mountain of a man by Titan Marcher standards, Bahwar's turban and long, beloved beard became heavily decorated with commendations. Most proudly worn was a commendation from Raj's own brother Valorn Adras for Bahwar’s perfect execution of a siege in a rare joint campaign with the Pale Hounds. Bahwar would go to battle armed with an enormous Thunder hammer named "Sky Cracker" and favored his own custom Storm bolter when at range.

Making note of the impact Bahwar had on new recruits Raj Vokar promoted the Cyclone to Chapter Master of the 77th Chapter. A role that Saheb Bahwar fulfilled with honor and dedication. The 77th had recently been devastated; a combination of attrition from several consecutive campaigns, as well as an encounter with a dreaded Eldar Craftworld. Saheb was given the task of rebuilding the chapter, which meant training the new Astartes that were meant to get the 77th back up to full strength.

Saheb himself was a Master of Signal, and used his skills he had acquired to train the 77th into one of the Titan Lord’s favorites. In becoming Master of Signal Saheb was trained to have a clear overview of the entire battlefield, hence his mastery of so many aspects of war, as well as effective communication skills. This allowed him to effectively train so many Astartes in so many different fields. He was also a strong orator, and within a matter of two decades managed to drill the young Astartes into true Angels of the Emperor. 

The 77th proved itself to be one of the most versatile chapters of the XVIIth legion. Picking up the skills of their Chapter Master, the marines of the 77th specialized in quick and clear communication, which allowed them to respond  to changes on the battlefield much faster than most other Titan Marcher chapters. These strong communication lines also benefited the 77th’s partnered Titan Legio, Legio Avenis.

Ultimately Saheb met his fate at the feet of his own Primarch’s Titan during the Siege of Terra. When the Gunslingers Primarch Deshain Kane assaulted the Apocalyptican and killed Raj Vokar, Saheb was caught in the ensuing blast. His death was certainly not in vain; the experienced Bahwar noticed Deshain’s assault and realized what was about to happen. He  called for evacuation, allowing almost seventy of his charges  to escape from the blast radius. Many of the survivors claimed that the Cyclone himself could easily have made it to safety himself before the explosion but repeatedly went back to ensure others were removed from harm’s way first. 

The Cyclone's Thunder hammer was salvaged after the Siege. When the Second Founding was called the Titan Marchers split along preexisting chapter lines. Those that had learned everything they knew from Saheb renamed their own chapter to the "Honourable Cyclones". The Sky Cracker is the chapter’s most cherished relic and has been handed down from Chapter Master to Chapter Master up to M41.

'''Bisman Talah, Captain-Guru of the Rajah Vishaali'''
Bisman Talah was once a member of the Titan Marchers’ 12th company, but was inducted into the ranks of the Rajah Vishaali only three decades into his service. Even as a neophyte he possessed a skill with the blade rarely seen among the ranks of the XVIIth legion and thus the Primarch wanted Bisman to join his honor guard, despite his relative youth.

Over the course of the Great Crusade Bisman slew countless enemies of the Imperium, meeting any blade swung in his Primarch’s direction with his own. He famously competed in the 9th Great Joust, where he went up against Guy Maxime in the final round. He ultimately lost, but as runner-up he had done better than any Titan Marcher before him. Bisman eventually fell on the killing fields of New Hope, catching a bolt round fired by Valorn Adras, originally intended for Raj himself.

'''Chapter Master Jagan Lodhara'''
Jagan Lodhara is the Chapter Master of the Titan Marchers chapter my M41. Like all those before him, Jagan is cut from the same cloth as Taarush Amin and the Primarch, Raj Vokar. Dutiful, honorbound and respectful.
