Gradimir Jovanovi

Gradimir Jovanovi is the Prvý Veliteľ, which translates as First Commander, of the Godslayers Legion.

Background
Born of Zbruch, Gradimir was a chosen of the Obri as a child, destined to be sacrificed to the Xenos overlords. When the Primarch Koschei killed the Horned King, Gradimir, along with the other chosen, was freed from captivity. Unlike the other chosen, who saw Koschei as their savior, it is said that upon seeing the Primarch, Gradimir attacked, mistaking Koschei as yet another Obri. Though only a child, and armed with only an Obri’s dinner knife, he charged the young Primarch.

At first, it is said that Koschei merely dodged Gradimir’s wild attacks, but as the minutes stretched on, and the boy showed little sign of tiring, Koschei sought to end the pointless fight. Intent on doing as little damage as possible, he knocked the young Gradimir to the ground. Twice, he knocked him down, and twice, the boy rose again, determined to fight until the end. Each time he rose, Koschei’s respect for the child, who stood so defiantly before him, grew.

Finally, after being knocked to the ground for the third time, Gradimir could rise no more, and appeared beaten. Taking pity on the brave boy, Koschei reached down to help him to his feet, and after a flash of pain, pulled his hand back to see the knife stuck firmly in the palm of his right hand. Thus, it is said, that Gradimir’s appointment as the Legion’s Prvý Veliteľ, or First Commander, is both symbolic, and ironic, as he is by virtue of his station, the right hand of the Primarch of the Eighth Legion.

As a Godslayer, Gradmir leads the mighty Obrie Vrahovia, along with the entirety of the Legion’s first Kapitola (Chapter). He is a taciturn, and serious man, and bears the scars of his long years fighting in his Gene-sire’s name proudly. He also holds the title of Prvý Radkyňa (First Councillor), though it has been some time since he served in Koschei’s personal retinue.
