They too had the same vision, and envisioned a glorious son of Baal leading them to victory. He had a vision one night, of a world beset by Civil war against a Dark Cult, and that it would become a Daemon world if nothing was done.Torn between duty to his chapter and saving the people of that world, he chose to go forth alone to save that world from it’s dark fate, and was surprised to find his Company awaiting aboard the Battle Barge Mortis Redemptia. Born during the 37th Millenium, Company Captain Izrador of the Blood Angels was a dutiful man, following the doctrines of the Codex Astartes, and loyal to the Emperor.
