Barabas Dantioch

Barabas Dantioch — warsmith of the Iron Warriors, commander of the 51st Expeditionary Fleet, a double traitor: a traitor to Terra, since his Legion stood with Horus, and a traitor to his Legion, since he renounced it for the sake of the loyalists. Having lost Perturabo’s favour, he held the fortress of Schadenhold against the traitors for more than a year, and then fled to Ultramar, where he became the first Keeper of the Pharos.
