“ | Heroes of Armageddon! You have withstood the evil savagery of the Orks, and they have nothing left for you to fear. So raise high the black banners of vengeance -- now it is our time. | „ |
~ Yarrick's last transmission before leaving with the Black Templars to hunt down Ghazghkull. |
“ | Not just a hero, the hero. His name is Sebastian Yarrick. Even we Astartes must respect that name. And when he tell us that Hades Hive will be destroyed within a matter of days, a hundred Imperial commanders human and Astartes alike hang on his every word, and I am one of them. | „ |
~ Grimaldus on his respect for Yarrick. |
Commissar Sebastian Yarrick was a major protagonist in Warhammer 40k, arguably being the main protagonist of the Wars for Armageddon storylines. One of the greatest soldiers the Imperium of Man had ever known, he was celebrated across the galaxy as The Hero of Armageddon for his unrelenting defense of the Hive World of Armageddon against Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. In both the Second and Third War for Armageddon, Yarrick held steadfast and successfully repelled the apolcalyptic WAAAGH, and in the process became not only a revered hero of the Imperium, but a deeply respected and admired adversary to the Orks. He was the archenemy of Ghazghkull.
Personality[]
Yarrick was legendary for his undying loyalty to the Imperium and his unshakable confidence in both his skills and his goals. It is said that throughout his entire military career, Yarrick never once had to punish a single soldier under his command for neither treason nor desertion, as their faith in him was absolute. A genius tactician, he was one of the brightest military minds mankind had ever known, as he was able to successfully defend Armageddon against not one, but two of the largest and most dangerous Ork WAAAGHS in galactic history. His skill in combat was so great, that he ended up actually becoming beloved by the Orks, who saw him as a most worthy foe and an incredible warrior. This respect ironically would end up going both ways, as Yarrick and Ghazghkull became increasingly obsessed with each other, seeing the other as their equal in battle and having a ferocious drive to best the other. The admiration the Orks had for Sebastian was so that when news of his passing eventually reached them, they not only mourned him, but immediately went on a rampage of vengeance against the ones they deemed responsible.
