Ursarkar E. Creed is the 50 year old Lord Castellan currently in command of the [[Cadian]] military. Creed was found as a young boy in the burning ruins of Kasr Gallan by Soldiers of the 8th Cadian regiment after the horrors of [[Abaddon the Despoiler|Abaddon]]'s [[Black Crusades|eighth crusade]]. He refused to speak of the atrocities he had witnessed at the time, and even now almost never speaks of it. However the horrors he had witnessed had not dimmed his faith in the Emperor and had also honed him into a vicious and determined fighter. The Cadian 8th was impressed by this child and he was then raised by members of the regiment. He quickly became an excellent soldier and was drafted into the Cadian Whiteshield corps, a dedicated and often suicidal youth force. This is where he met Jarran Kell, and the two quickly formed a life long bond of friendship.

Lord Castellan '''Ursarkar E. Creed''' of [[Cadia]] is the 50-year-old commander of all Imperial military forces assigned to Cadia and also serves as the Imperial Commander and Imperial Planetary Governor of that crucial Fortress World. Creed is known to be a tactical genius who has saved his world from falling to the [[Forces of Chaos]] again and again. Creed was discovered as a young boy in the burning ruins of Kasr Gallan by soldiers of the 8th Cadian Imperial Guard Regiment following the horrors of a Chaos attack upon Cadia. He refused to speak of the atrocities he had witnessed at the time, and even now almost never speaks of it.

By the end of the five year long Drussite Crusade, Creed was captain of the Shock Troopers and Kell was his colour sergeant. Soon reaching the rank of Lord General, in action after action he proved himself a nearly flawless tactitian and strategist. After not only resisting but utterly destroying an [[Eldar (Warhammer 40,000)|Eldar]] attack on Aurent in M41.992, Creed became the most successful living Cadian commander of his time, the only thing holding his rank from further progression being his humble (or rather, unknown) birth.

In 999.M41, Creed was raised to the rank of Lord Castellan after a successful plot to assassinate the Cadian Governor Primus, Marus Porelska, and much of his High Command was carried out by traitorous Volscani regiments. Creed rallied the survivors and gathered together a force strong enough to utterly defeat the traitors and rescue the body of the governor from desecration. As the victorious survivors sang their praise to the Emperor, they shouted for Creed to take up the title of Lord Castellan. Three times he refused them, (likely inspired by Julius Caesar refusing the crown.) but with no others to step forth and claim the responsibility, at last he accepted, putting him in full control of the Cadian military either until his death, or the time of crisis passes. Creed is now almost never seen without his Colour Sergeant, and perhaps only true friend, '''Jarran Kell''', a devout man who wears the Medallion Crimson, which is awarded to Guardsmen who suffer horrific injuries yet have lost neither their faith in the Emperor nor the will to fight on.

Creed was named in the Eye of Terror campaign codex as the "newly-instated Governor Primus", meaning that he was the official ruler of Cadia.

Lord Castellan Ursakar E. Creed

Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed of Cadia is the 50-year-old commander of all Imperial military forces assigned to Cadia and also serves as the Imperial Commander and Imperial Planetary Governor of that crucial Fortress World. Creed is known to be a tactical genius who has saved his world from falling to the Forces of Chaos again and again. Creed was discovered as a young boy in the burning ruins of Kasr Gallan by soldiers of the 8th Cadian Imperial Guard Regiment following the horrors of a Chaos attack upon Cadia. He refused to speak of the atrocities he had witnessed at the time, and even now almost never speaks of it. However the horrors he had witnessed had not dimmed his faith in the Emperor of Mankind and had also honed him into a vicious and determined fighter. The Cadian 8th was impressed by this child and he was then raised by members of the regiment. He quickly became an excellent soldier and was drafted into the Cadian Whiteshield corps, a dedicated and often suicidal youth force. This is where he met Jarran Kell, and the two quickly formed a life-long bond of friendship.

By the end of the five-year-long Drussite Crusade, Creed was captain of the Shock Troopers and Kell was his Colour Sergeant. Soon reaching the rank of Lord General, in action after action he proved himself a nearly flawless tactitian and strategist. After not only resisting but utterly destroying an Eldar attack on Aurent in 992.M41, Creed became the most successful living Cadian commander of his time, the only thing holding his rank from further progression being his humble (or rather, unknown) birth.

In 999.M41, Creed was raised to the rank of Lord Castellan after a successful plot to assassinate the Cadian Governor Primus, Marus Porelska, and much of his High Command was carried out by traitorous Volscani regiments. Creed rallied the survivors and gathered together a force strong enough to utterly defeat the traitors and rescue the body of the governor from desecration. As the victorious survivors sang their praise to the Emperor, they shouted for Creed to take up the title of Lord Castellan. Three times he refused them, but with no others to step forth and claim the responsibility, at last he accepted, putting him in full command of the Cadian planetary military and Imperial Guard Regiments either until his death or the ultimate defeat of the Forces of Chaos. Creed is now almost never seen without his Colour Sergeant, and perhaps only true friend, Jarran Kell, a devout man who wears the Medallion Crimson, which is awarded to Guardsmen who suffer horrific injuries yet have lost neither their faith in the Emperor nor the will to fight on. Creed was later named the "newly-instated Governor Primus" of Cadia, meaning that sometime before the start of the 13th Black Crusade he was also officially named the Imperial Planetary Governor of Cadia by the High Lords of Terra.
