Editing Garran Thule (Howling Griffons) (section)

== Background ==
The Howling Griffons are famed for their rigid adherence to honour, their quartered heraldry, and their long history of brutal, grinding wars. Garran was recruited from the feudal world of Mancora, where he served as a castle ward before being selected for the Chapter. Even as a neophyte, he displayed a natural aptitude for heavy armour and defensive warfare.

As a Heavy Intercessor, Garran excelled in roles that demanded endurance, precision, and the ability to hold ground against overwhelming odds. He fought in multiple sieges across the Maelstrom Zone, where the Griffons’ stubborn resilience is legendary. His calm under pressure and ability to anchor entire firing lines made him a natural candidate for Deathwatch service.

The Watch requested him specifically for missions requiring a disciplined bulwark—someone who could stand firm against xenos horrors without faltering. Garran accepted the secondment as a matter of honour, viewing it as both duty and pilgrimage.
