Editing Vladimir Pugh

'''Vladimir Pugh''' was a Chapter Master of The Imperial Fists, and a damned old one at that, having first been appeared back in the halcyon days of Ian Watsons [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader|Rogue Trader]]-era novel ''Space Marine''. He was noted for having had his taste buds excised as penance after he lost (almost) two full companies of Space Marines in a single campaign, and for being ''seriously'' into the Fists' self-mortification kink by adding a scar to his body for each Marine lost under his command. Apparently, the [[High Lords of Terra]] [[What|offered him a position among them at one point (precisely how this would work is unknown, all things considered)]], but he turned it down.

Pugh eventually died on Drashi killing a Tyranid [[Norn Queen]] by getting his troops to fire on the roof of a cavern, releasing lava that destroyed him, his bodyguard and the Tyranids in the typical "Imperial Fists die standing!" fashion. [[Darnath Lysander]] would have taken his position, if he hadn't refused it and deferred to [[Vorn Hagen]].
