Tu'Shan, Chapter Master of the Salamanders Space Marines
Tu'Shan is currently the Chapter Master of the Salamanders Chapter of Loyalist Space Marines. At the time of the Second War for Armageddon, Tu'Shan had held the position of Chapter Master for only three years. Since his tenure in this role was so new, defending against the massive wave of Orks sent forth by the Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka was a daunting task. Tu'Shan nonetheless followed Lord Commander Dante of the Blood Angels Chapter into battle and fought with distinction during the campaign. Beyond commanding the Salamanders, Tu'Shan helped rally the disorganized and demoralised Imperial defenders drawn from the Planetary Defence Forces and the Imperial Guard Regiments of the embattled hive world. In addition, while commanding the Salamanders' veteran 1st Company, the Fire Drakes, Tu'Shan defended one of the last bridges over the River Stygies against a column of 1,000 Ork Speed Freeks, fighting consecutively for 3 days and 4 nights. By the end of the campaign, Tu'Shan was so respected that Lord Commander Dante praised him as the model of what a Space Marine should be in front of the entire assembled Blood Angels Chapter. Since that campaign, Chapter Master Tu'Shan has continued to lead the Salamanders honourably. When the Third War for Armageddon began in 998.M41, Tu'Shan was one of the first Imperial defenders to respond, leading six full companies of Salamanders, including the Fire Drakes, back to the planet. Chapter Master Tu'Shan also holds the title of Regent of Prometheus. He is unusually strong even for a Space Marine, and can be easily recognised by both the considerable number of honour scars he bears across his face and the cloak he wears that was made from the scale of a 300-year-old drake salamander slain on the Salamanders' homeworld of Nocturne.
He also featured in the novel Salamander by author Nick Kyme. He argued with Captain Vinyar of the Marines Malevolent about their attempt to take the salvaged cargo of the Archimedes Rex , after the Scoria incident.
