Tychon

Tychon is the Warsmith of the Iron Warriors Doom Company and leader of their invasion force in the Mercatorius System.

Of his company, Tychon is the most ancient, dating back to the days of the Horus Heresy and being raised on Olympia itself. He is immensely proud of this legacy, continuing to wear and promote the use of Mark III power armour in his company, believing it to be the truest form of Iron Warrior armour.

A veteran of many sieges before and after the Horus Heresy, Tychon has developed an innate bitterness towards the Imperium for the lack of recognition of his legion's skills. War with the Imperium is, for him, a chance to demonstrate his legion's strength and remind the Imperium what it is that they neglected. The wars of his Doom Company are, therefore, more motivated by ruin than conquest.

Mercatorius, for Tychon, was a chance to seize on an unstable Imperial system and weaken the Imperium's ability to navigate the Galaxy. Seeking this opportunity to undermine his hated enemies, he led the Doom Company in the Invasion of Mercatorius, helping to spark the wider Mercatorius Crusade.
