	'''Warsmith Barabas Dantioch''' more commonly referred to as '''Dantioch''' was a legionnaire of the [[Iron Warriors]] who [[Traitor Legion Loyalists\|stayed loyal to the Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy\|Galactic Chaos Dumpster-Fire 30,000]]. The classic cantankerous old general, he linked up with other loyalists at [[Ultramar]] and joined forces with the [[Imperium Secundus]].

	Back in the heyday of the Great Crusade, He was [[Perturabo\|Daddy's]] favourite, being promoted to Warsmith at some point. Things were going pretty good, until Dantioch was put in charge of a grand company to take on a migratory Xenos race known as the [[Hrud]]. Apparently the Hrud had an "entropy field" that caused things to age at an incredible pace, causing equipment to rust to unusable levels, and bunkers to collapse under their own weight, and even nearby non-Hrud living beings to rapidly age and even die from old age. This proved to be a great hindrance for an equipment-heavy Legion like the Iron Warriors (or any Legion for that matter) and the Hrud took half a Grand Company and a subsector with them before most of their species met the business end of the Iron Warriors' bolters, plasma cannons, and missile launchers, and leaving Dantioch extremely aged (despite his "only" being 200 years old, which is still in the prime of life for an uninjured Astartes) and with a borderline-decrepit body due to the rapidity of his cell decay. This either indicates Astartes can die of old age (or at least be so weakened by it they might as well be) or that the Hrud's entropic field worked too quickly for Astartes biology to keep up with. After that single poor mark on an otherwise stellar career record (and also because he dared suggest that simply throwing more men at a given problem until it budged wasn't the smartest thing to do), Perturabo pulled a [[Lion El'Johnson]] and [[Luther]]ed his ass to garrison duty. Banished to an outpost that was far enough into the Imperium to ''definitely not'' get any action, Dantioch spent his time on his magnum opus, a citadel that would make even his own Primarch squeal with delight and jealousy both. This culminated in Schadenhold: [[Awesome\|A subterranean fortress located on a Death World, suspended upside down over a lake of promethium.]]		Back in the heyday of the Great Crusade, He was [[Perturabo\|Daddy's]] favourite, being promoted to Warsmith at some point.

	Eventually the whole Horus Heresy thing came along and that out-of-the-way outpost he was put in command of became essential to Horus' campaign to reach Terra, as the outpost could easily become a rallying point for the Imperial Navy if the Traitor Legions overextended themselves. Warsmith Krendl, Dantioch's replacement, showed up with a detachment of Iron Warriors with the backing of a Son of Horus detachment demanding that he cede Schandenhold to the Traitor Legions.

	Later, during the events of the Horus Heresy novels "Unremembered Empire" and "Pharos", Dantioch set up shop in the [[Imperium Secundus]]. He pledged his loyalty to [[Roboute Guilliman\|Bobby McGuillicutty]]. He was assigned to get the ancient xenos (Necron) facility called the "Pharos" operational, to be used as the [[Astronomicon]] Mark 2, on the planet Sotha. Besides using it to help coordinate Secundas' communications and travel, he used it to great effect to rescue Lion El Jonson and Guilliman from a trap laid by Konrad Curze.

			However, eventually the facility came under the Night Lords' attack. With the Night Lord's leader managing to reach the Pharos's control center and Dantioch. Taking Dantioch's bestie (Alexus Polux) hostage, the Night Lords claimed victory and ordered Dantioch to use the Pharos to their advantage. However, the Night Lords forgot one VERY important thing: Dantioch is an '''Iron Warrior'''. At first leading the Night Lords into a false sense of security by faking compliance, he decided to fall back on the Iron Warriors' tried-and-true method of "if we can't win, ''obliterate'' '''''everything'''''!". Before the Night Lords could react, Dantioch started pushing the interstellar beacon into maximum overdrive, in an attempt to kill the Night Lords, even if it meant his own death as well. Using the empathic powers of the facility to channel the cold, bitter, hatred and spite in his very blood, Dantioch ''WILLED'' it to kill them with every fiber of his being. This pulled the Night Lords into its gravity-well like portal, smashing most of them into a massive ball of meat and metal, then throwing said ball and the surviving few Night Lords back to their flagship. However, this also sent an ungodly amount of energy through the Pharos's control systems (which exploded) and Dantioch himself. After it was over Dantioch had just enough life left to enjoy his victory and to tell Polux his goodbyes before finally dying.

However, this also sent an ungodly amount of energy through Dantioch himself, killing him. For his sacrifice, Dantioch was named a "'''''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM'''''" by Rowboat himself, who also gave Dantioch's remaining [[Silver Skulls\|loyalist Iron Warriors]] sanctuary in Ultramar. A distraught Polux for his part did his late brother-in-arms one final honour, bearing Dantioch's funeral bier alone, as this was the second time he had lost a brother-figure dear to him (the first being the death of his biological brother Helias Polux). Dantioch's mask was placed near the top of the Pharos as a memorial to his service. Later when the Ultramarines 199th was formed into the Scythes of the Emperor, they retrieved his mask and modified it into a helmet which they used as a symbol of office in his honour.
