"Garran Crowe is a castellan of the Grey Knights Chapter and a notable hero of that elite and highly secret unit of the Adeptus Astartes. Castellan Crowe is both the head and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifier Order.

A nobler exemplar of the Grey Knights would be impossible to find -- by the measure of the Grey Knights, Crowe is a flawless soul, not so much resistant to the temptations of Chaos as immune to them. It is well that this is so, for Garran bears a burden greater than any of his brothers: the Daemon Sword known as the Blade of Antwyr, a cursed relic of unimaginable evil that continuously brings him into both physical and spiritual peril by tempting him with Chaos' promises of power or seeking to bind his will with black sorcery.

Even so, Crowe must be forever on guard, for the sword's sibilant whispers echo endlessly through his mind, offering to add its strength to his own in the pursuit of victory. Many mortals would embrace such a chance, thinking their will would be strong enough to control the sword.

Yet no matter how dark the hour or desperate the battle, Crowe has never succumbed; his thoughts and actions are his own. He is the warden of the foul blade, incorruptible and inviolable, and will remain so until the day of his death.

Some of the grand masters believe that Crowe embodies a dormant strain of the Chapter's gene-seed, a piece of the Emperor that has awoken and taken root within him. It is this quality that grants Crowe a unique perspective on the universe, as he does not see Chaos as others do. To Crowe, the Immaterium is as water flowing over reality, cool and deep, with Daemons flitting like shadows beneath its surface."
