Champion Alcander

Sword Brother Alcander of the Marshal's own retinue, The Pyre Cloaks, was struck by visions from the Emperor on the eve of battle. He witnessed flashes of the battles ahead, great victories, and his own doom. Alcander, a peerless swordsman and hero of the chapter, donned the Crusade's holy armor and Black Sword and named the Emperor's Champion by Chaplain Garadorn. The elevation of the first Emperor's Champion in their newly formed crusade filled every Black Templar with holy zeal and battle lust as they boarded their drop ships to make planet fall on the various embattled worlds of the Targulon system.
