Description
Merek Grimaldus, is the Reclusiarch of the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter. He once stood as the youngest Sword Brother in the Chapter's history. Grimaldus is also a noted veteran of the Third War for Armageddon.
During the Battle for Hive City Helsreach, Grimaldus led the defense of the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant, which had stood since Armageddon's colonization. The battle became so heated that the building itself collapsed around the combatants.
It was believed that all had perished in the building until Grimaldus, bloody but unbroken, climbed out of the rubble bearing three of the temple's artifacts -- a column from its Major Altar, the Banner of the Emperor Victorious, and holy water from the Stoup of Elucidation. When the war ended, the citizens of Hive Helsreach honored him with the title of "Hero of Helsreach".
