Tarnus Vale is Praetor of the Fire Angels' 3rd Battle Company and is an example of one of the finest warriors his Chapter has to offer. Vale is a proven and stalwart commander, undeterred by the anarchy of the battlefield, and famed for his indifference to danger. He relies upon the skill of his Chapter's Armourers and the divine providence of the Emperor to see him safe through the chaos of combat. The sight of Praetor Vale advancing through enemy barrages, his Chainsword held high, has become a familiar sight to his Battle-Brothers. He has garnered a reputation for the utterly rigorous and unceasing drill that he puts his company through that has made them some of the most proficient tank-killers within the Chapter.
