Biography
Varnus was the leader of a detachment of Ultramarines Space Marines that were sent to the planet Lorn V where he was the leader of a bodyguard unit tasked with the protection as well as delivery of a Titan's Princeps and crew to the site of the abandoned machine Dominatus.
Whilst engaging in his mission, his Thunderhawk gunship was shot down by Chaos Space Marines. Only Varnus and a handful of his troops survived who held off waves of Chaos hordes as well as sent a distress signal that was received by General Sturnn of the Imperial Guard. These reinforcements managed to conduct a search and rescue mission behind enemy lines that succeeded in saving Varnus.
One of the noted accomplishments of Chaplain Varnus was his single handedly slaying a Bloodthirster Daemon in combat.
