[i]Only the insane have strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane.[/i] -Thought for the day [b]Name:[/b] Brother Lantus [b]Chapter:[/b] Blood Ravens [b]Equipment:[/b] Mark VI Corvus Power Armor Stalker Pattern Bolter with Shot Selector Bolt Pistol Combat Knife Chainsword Frag Grenade x3 Krak Grenade x3 [b]Biography:[/b] Lantus was born on the Feral World of Typhon Primaris. The planet was a major recruiting world for the Blood Ravens, and at the age of 10, Lantus passed the Blood Trials to become an Aspirant of the Chapter. He served his Neophyte training and Scout Marine deployment under Scout Sergeant Cyrus, and took his many lessons to heart, eventually becoming a fully fledged Astartes when he was 18. Lantus served loyally as a Battle Brother as both a Devastator and Assault Marine in the 4th Company under Brother-Captain Davian Thule, and excelled to the point that he was assigned to be a Tactical Marine. For over 100 years, Lantus served in the 4th Company, and even took part in the Kronus Campaign. On Kronus, Lantus proved himself to be one of the Emperor's finest several times over, but his greatest achievement came in the final battle against the Tau entrenched on the planet. During the battle, Lantus and his squad were assigned to assassinate Ethereal Aun'El Shi'Ores, the leader of the Tau on Kronus while the majority of Captain Thule's forces were deployed against Shas'O Kais. The squad broke through Tau lines, taking heavy casualties from their murderous plasma fire until Lantus was the sole remaining member of the squad. But he broke through to the Ethereal and his bodyguard and tore them apart with his chainsword. For this feat, Lantus was assigned to join the Deathwatch after the Kronus Campaign had concluded. [b]Notable Achievements:[/b] - Assisted in the retrieval and "gifting" of many relics and wargear for the Chapter - Served with distinction in the Kronus Campaign - Broke through Tau lines and personally slew the Ethereal Aun'El Shi'Ores, as well as his elite bodyguard unit [b]Appearance:[/b] Bald, scarred, has one service stud. Average in both height and weight for an Astartes. [b]Class:[/b] Tactical Marine [b]Personality:[/b] Stern, stoic, and disciplined, but occasionally delivers sarcastic barbs in a completely serious tone. Lantus is rather level-headed for an Astartes, and often advocates caution and stealth when facing enemies until a weak point in their ranks can be found. Once he is in the midst of combat, though, Lantus displays the fury and hatred for the enemies of the Imperium that any Space Marine would possess. Due to the events of Kronus and the Battle of Victory Bay, in which he was forced to fight and kill Guardsmen, Lantus is noticeably accommodating of and willing to work alongside the Imperial Guard, perhaps out of guilt for Victory Bay. Tried my best to not go full meme and make him a total Bloody Magpie. Not that there won't be references to "gifting" relics every now and then.
