Harr Rantal was both a Grand Provost Marshal of the Adeptus Arbites and High Lord of Terra during the Horus Heresy.
哈尔·兰塔尔在荷鲁斯叛乱期间既是法务部的大宪兵元帅,也是泰拉高领主。
Rantal also served on the Imperium's War Council and was present when the Mechanicum Loyalists' Ambassador Vethorel, presented her plan for the creation of the Adeptus Mechanicus. If the creation of the new Adeptus was agreed to by the War Council, it would make the Mechanicus a part of the Imperium, instead of the uneven partnership it now had with the Mechanicum due to the fall of Mars. Agreeing to its creation would also end any doubt that the Mechcanicum's nominal Fabricator General Zagreus Kane and not the Heretic Kelbor-Hal, truly led the Omnissiah's servants. Despite these beneficial outcomes however, Rantal and his fellow High Lord Simion Pentasian, both refused the Ambassador's plan. They argued that it would be foolhardy for the Imperium to grant any more power to the Mechanicum, given that the Priesthood of Mars was divided by a civil war that left many questioning its Loyalists' integrity. The other High Lords followed their lead and given they held the most power within the War Council, Vethorel's proposal was denied.
兰塔尔还曾在帝国的战争议会任职,当机械教忠诚派大使维托雷尔介绍她创建机械神教的计划时也在场。如果战争议会同意创建新的修会,它将使机械教成为帝国的一部分,而不是由于火星陷落而与机械教建立的不平衡的伙伴关系。同意它的创建也将消除任何怀疑,即机械教名义上的铸造将军扎格瑞斯·凯恩,而不是异端凯尔博·哈尔,真正领导欧姆尼赛亚的仆人。然而,尽管取得了这些有益的成果,兰塔尔和他的同僚高领主西蒙·彭塔西安都拒绝了大使的计划。他们认为,鉴于火星祭司因内战而分裂,许多人质疑其忠诚的诚信,帝国再授予机械教任何权力都是鲁莽的。其他高领主跟随他们的领导,鉴于他们在战争议会中拥有最大的权力,维托雷尔的提议被拒绝了。
This was not the end however, as once word spread of the Ambassador's intent, a group of Loyalists', led by Magos Passax and Gerantor, attempted to assassinate her. It was only due to the intervention of the Princeps Bassanius of Legio Ignatum and Tevera of Legio Agravides, that Vethorel's life was saved and afterwards the Princeps told her they agreed with her plan for the creation of the Adeptus Mechanicus. With their backing, the Ambassador once again presented her proposal during the War Council's next meeting. However the now irritated High Lords claimed that with the loss of Mars, the treaty between the Imperium and the Mechanicum was void. Further, the attempt on the Ambassador's life, proved the Mechanicum could no longer govern itself and called for the Mechancum's forces to be directly controlled by the High Lords. But as Rental and the other High Lords began to argue amongst themselves, as to who among them should have control of the various Mechanicum forces, the chamber the meeting was being held in began to shake. They did not know it, but Vethorel was no longer going to take no for an answer and had signaled Princep Bassanius to begin advancing his Imperator Magnificum Incendius, upon the building where the War Council was meeting. Now faced with a violent end at the hands of the Magnificum Incendius, and with no Imperium forces close by to stop the Imperator, Rantal and the High Lords were forced to agree with Vethorel's proposal. Before the meeting was ended, the Adeptus Mechanicus and Adeptus Titanicus were formed and Fabricator General Zagreus Kane, was made a High Lord.
然而,这并不是结束,因为大使的意图一传开,由贤者帕萨克斯和杰兰托领导的一群忠诚者就试图暗杀她。正是由于烈焰军团的首席巴萨尼乌斯和阿格拉维德斯军团的特维拉的干预,维托雷尔的生命才得以被挽救,后来首席告诉她,他们同意她创建机械神教的计划。在他们的支持下,大使在战争议会的下次会议上再次提出了她的建议。然而,现在恼怒的高领主声称,随着火星的陷落,帝国和机械教之间的条约无效。此外,对大使的生命的杀人企图证明了机械教不再能够自我管理,并呼吁机械教的部队由高领主直接控制。但当兰塔尔和其他高领主开始争论谁应该控制各种机械教部队时,正在举行会议的会议室开始晃动。他们不知道这一点,维托雷尔不再接受“不”的回答,并已向首席巴萨尼乌斯发出信号,让他开始向战争议会开会的大楼推进他的帝皇级泰坦宏伟烈焰号。现在,面对暴力终结于宏伟烈焰号之手的结局,由于附近没有帝国军队阻止帝皇级,兰塔尔和高领主被迫同意维托雷尔的提议。在会议结束之前,机械神教和泰坦修会成立了,铸造将军扎格瑞斯·凯恩将军被任命为高领主。
During the early stages of the Siege of Terra Harr Rantal was present during a meeting of the Council of Terra within the Great Chamber of the Senatorum Imperialis.

Rantal survived the Heresy and served on the new Grand Council of Reconstruction convened by Rogal Dorn and Roboute Guilliman to oversee the turbulent period of the Great Scouring.
