Harrion von Maul

Harrion von Maul was the Master of Ordnance for the Obsidian Guard, its chief logistician and highest ranking artillery officer. It was his duty to keep the war machine of the Tenth Legion running smoothly, a duty he performed well through the final years of the Great Crusade and the Ruins. He was a studious, detail-oriented officer who derived his fulfillment from the innumerable requisition forms, communiques, and other facets of administration. However these skills would prove to be priceless over time to the point that without him the Obsidian Guard may not have survived the Ruins.

Personal History
Harrion was born in the city of Feuerlandung on Feuerstadt and was in his adolescence when Lukas Keath's conquering armies took it. Luckily for him Harrion, who had been serving in Feuerlandung's armed forces at the time, was stationed away from where the Obsidian Guard breached the walls. He was pardoned with the other prisoners of war and after the coming of the Emperor was screened like many others for genetic compatibility with the Tenth Legion's geneseed. Having been found to be a suitable candidate Harrion underwent the rigorous training and implantation process to turn him into a Legionnaire. His first assignment was as a Support Marine in the 4th Corps where he served admirably for several decades after which he was promoted to Fahnrich and transferred to the 6th Corps. Again after a period of time he was elevated to the rank of Hauptmann and transferred to the artillery branch of the Legion where he excelled.

His first test as an officer came during the Battle of Craftworld Altara where his battery held back a significant Aeldari counterattack for several hours, down to their last few shells before reinforcements and fresh supplies arrived. In the following years he accumulated a number of honors until the day he was raised to the rank of Marschall and given overall command of the Legion's big guns. During the Osiris Rebellion the command post of Davon Vibar, then Master of Ordnance, came under attack by the Osirian Psybrids and was slain there. As the only obvious choice Harrion was selected as his replacement and promoted to Feldmarschall, though his days as a field commander were for the most part over. He finished the campaign, overseeing the annihlation of the Xenos with such zeal that when the Obsidian Guard left the Osiris Cluster the memories of those who had fought against the Psybrids were their only legacy.

Personality
Harrion is quiet, reserved, and bookish for a space marine but these attributes are what make him such an effective Master of Ordnance. Only his superhuman abilities allow him to comb through the endless reports from across the galaxy in a timely fashion and allocate the appropriate resources to respond. While an Astartes of few words when Harrion does speak he commands the attention of listening, eloquently but also pointedly stating the facts.
