In Empire of Silence, under the direction of First Strategos SIR TITUS HAUPTMANN and Legate LEONID BARTOSZ.

Cohort Tribunes:

    UNKNOWN

    UNKNOWN

    DAME RAINE SMYTHE, a Tribune of the Third Cohort of the 437th Legion of Centaurus, captain of the ISV Obdurate.

      Known Members of the Third Cohort:

        —SIR WILLIAM CROSSFLANE

        —BASSANDER LIN

    UNKNOWN

Constituted in ISD 11907 under the Fifth Centaurine Legionary Act drafted by Primarch Ambrose Surabian, the 437th Centaurine Legion has defended Imperial interests in the Centaurus Arm of the galaxy. During the Cielcin Wars, the Legion was under the command of Sir Leonid Bartosz, a career soldier born into the Legions—as so many are—his parents both being lifelong officers. To all accounts, Bartosz was an able commander, but he figures only little in the narrative of history. He is thought to have been among the casualties at the Battle of Gododdin, when he was lost with the legion’s flagship, the ISV Deluge, along with all hands. A victim of Hadrian Marlowe and the Sun Eater. Of his four tribunes, only Dame Raine Smythe is of much note, being the one to recruit Lord Marlowe to the Legions as an immunis after the Emesh affair.
