[hider=Sergeant][b]Name:[/b] Tiberius of Arianoch

[b]Personal Demeanour:[/b] The epitome of zeal and righteous fury, Tiberius is seen as a role model to a few younger initiates. He's a man of action, tactically knowledgeable and ferociously loyal to his chapter and their faith. The call to honor his ancestors and protect the faith of the most Holy Emperor has fueled his determination since his induction into the chapter. He saw this as the next step in his life as soldier, though deep down he found himself wanting. The only way to effectively crusade, and to purge the doubts of his own abilities in his mind, was to lead and perform great deeds. He has a particular distaste for Chaos marines and Orkoids, due to his morals as a loyalist and his previous experience fighting Greenskins on Arianoch. Tiberius tends to be stern yet encouraging to his lessers, and staunchly loyal to those above him. To his peers...he has none, for he is the last Sword Brethren in this column, and is saddened by their many deaths.  

[b]Rank/Position:[/b] Sword Brethren 

[b]Power Armour History:[/b] Not much is known of Tiberius' Mark VII Power Armor, save it once belonged to a notable Sword Brethren named Godfrey, who served with distinction and slayed many Eldar and the vile Tyranids in his Crusades of Thetus and Centrati. The armor had been expertly repaired after it had been retrieved from Godfrey's corpse upon the battlefield, 4 Eldar dead around him. Tiberius only hopes he could fill Godfrey's shoes. 

[b]Description:[/b] Tiberius is fairly standard in his look and attire. Massively muscled yet slim and impossibly quick. When out of his power armor he wears the robes of an acolyte with the black and white tabard of a sword brethren upon his torso to differentiate him. His face looks wise yet handsome, and he sports a well groomed black beard. His hair is similarly colored, mane-like in fashion. His eyes are storm blue.

[b]History:[/b] He grew up as a second son of a Duke on the feudal world of Arianoch in the Segmentum Tempestus. Wars and battles for land in the forested world were commonplace, and Knights gained their renown through victories and tournaments. However even a martial world such as Arianoch was not prepared for an Ork WAAAGH. 

The Orkoids thundered onto the planet, just another world in need of conquering and looting for the Xenos. But they had a right time fighting these humies, and a crusade was called from Arianoch. The men of the planet had met the Black angels of the Sky before, and these green monsters were similar size but far more evil. Ferocious battles were fought and though the Orks were tough and numerous, the men fought bravely and lost ground with many Orks paying for their lives. 

When Tiberius turned 15 he was sent to one of the last great battles with his father and brother, and he squired for his brother during the engagement. Guns and choppas cut through the cavalry, but those men that made it lanced through the Orks and crashed over Gretchin. In the melee, Tiberius' father and brother were killed. Tiberius would have been as well were it not for the Black Angels that descended from the sky and decimated the Ork ranks. 

They found the boy fighting bravely, and recruited him into their ranks as a Neophyte. His loss at the hands of the Xenos made him particularly zealous and willing to perform whatever duty was necessary to rise up the ranks. But he found his heart soared at the good news of the Emperor, the God of the Black Templars. He would have dreams of his father, and fighting on distant battlegrounds, to prove his faith and his lineage's strength. 

Once he became a battle brother, he served in two Crusades across the Segmentum and Obscurus Tempestus'. A particular battle stood out for him, on a barren world where Chaos Space Marines sought relics of their corrupted ideals. He would remember seeing his young initiate corrupted by magicks and foul words, transformed into a mutant spawn, and forever would he hold a special hatred in his heart for his darker brethren. Darker than even the Black Templars holy armor. 

Recently, he became First Sword Brethren and vowed to uphold all of the ideals of his chapter through example and righteous fury.
