Name: Constantine Drustos
Rank: Forge Master
Personality: Constantine could be described as a cold, withdrawn, man. And those appellations would certainly be correct, for he often prefers the company of machines and servitors to that of his battle brothers. Along with this he is seen as an incredibly logical man,  often leaving wounded comrades in pursuit of the mission or only giving them barely any aid, to the point of almost seeming uncaring and being compared -more than once- to the Tech Priests that trained him. 

In spite of this traits, Constantine does deeply cares for his battle brothers and for the well-being of the Chapter as a whole. His withdrawal into his forge is motivated not for a distaste of his battle brothers, but rather to maintain the Warp Skulls well supplied with whatever they need and his extreme focus on logic, the one that has more often then not lead him to leave a battle brother behind, is born of a desire to keep the well being if the Chapter as a whole.

Appearance: Constantine could be described as an ugly man, his face a carpet of scars, which has left him with a bald head, with his right eye replaced by a bionic prosthesis. Apart from this, his height is slightly taller than that if a normal space marine, and his left arm has been replaced with a bionic prosthesis as a result of a loss in combat.

In terms of his armor, Constantine wears an artificer suit of Mark VI 'Corvus' armor, although it is painted in the dull red of the Adeptus Mechanicus to signify his time spent amongst the Martian Priests and he has the symbol of the Cog Mechanicus inscribed on his breast plate while the symbol of the Warp Skulls is painted on his left pauldron. 

Mutation(s): One of Constantine's arms, the right one to be precise, is covered in a chitinous-like substance! similar to the carapace of the crustacean found on Old Terra, but much harder than it was on the old animal of Earth, the strength of the chit ions material almost like that of adamantium. Along with this, Constantine has one extra mutation, tiny layers of skin that are starting to grow over his techno harness, almost as if his body was trying to re-incorporate the mechanical appendages into it's body.

Bio: Constantine Drustos was, once upon a time that he no longer remembers, the child of a pair of low-level members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, not enough to be privy of the secrets of the Martian cult but enough to be qualified as members. As such, the young Constantine was expected to follow in his parents footsteps, becoming one more cog in the enormous machine that was the factory world.

The Emperor however, seemed to have different plans in motions for young Drustos's for as soon as he reached the age of 13, a ship from the Warp Skulls came looking for recruit. Constantine was one of the lucky few who were chosen to begin the arduous process to become a Space Marine of the Warp Skulls, leaving behind the polluted atmosphere of his home planet along with a pair of heartbroken -yes proud- parents.

Constantine's training proceed regularly for a newly inducted Space Marine, he exceeded in all tests he was put through -as any marine in training ought to- yes the senior marines overseeing the tests noticed a cold pragmatism in the man, more so than in most Astartes, often leaving fellow neophytes to their deaths even if rescuing them or providing assistance of some kind wouldn't have endangered their current objective. In spite of this fact, Constantine son became a full fledged member of the Warp Skulls.

It wasn't until the Warp Skulls rescued the Adeptus Mechanicus exploratory fleet that Constantine Drustos made his name among the Warp Skulls, for one of the Factory he hip had been boarded by the greenskins that were threatening the fleet under the command of one of their so called Mekboyz -one of the so called 'Big Mek' as he would learn at a latter date- something which drew a fast response from the Chapter Master.

And so it was that Constantine along with a squad if his battle-brothers were sent to the Factory ship with the intent of saving it and, in the worst case to render it useless for the Orks. Once they arrived, they found that the greenskins had butchered almost all the crew of the vessel and had damaged it in their intents to take control of the vessel. In the effort to retake the vessel, Constantine challenged the leader of the greenskins to a single duel, a combat in which he lost his right eye -while gaining many of the scars that still adorn his body like trophies- and had his left arm mangled until it was practically necessary to remove it.

In spite of the grueling damage that the marine had suffered, Constantine remained aboard the vessel, helping with it's repairs as best as he could while a team of more experienced Magos arrived. When the group of Magos finally arrived, they noticed that -while the Factory ship was still in terrible conditions- the marines that had tried to do some repairs along with what remaining crew remained showed some remarkable skills with machinery and so it was that the Adeptus Mechanicus petitioned the Warp Skulls to train those same marines in some of their ancient rites, Constantine amongst them.

And so it was that Constantine Drustos went to Mars along with a few of his brothers, were they learned the rituals of the Martian priests, becoming some of the first Techmarines belonging to the Warp Skulls and upon his return to the Chapter, based on recommendations from those who had trained the new Techmarines, he was named Master of the Forge.

Now, the Chapter sees itself on the edge of the abyss due to the rampant mutations that occur amongst battle brothers, but for Constantine this seems less important than other threats. In his opinion, if they are still loyal to the Emperor and the I period in both mind and soul, then their bodies, no matter how mutated, are proof of nothing if not mere chance and a flaw that should be corrected.
