In the novel Dawn of War: Tempest it is told that these Ultramarines, perhaps Varnus as well, actually were Alpha Legionnaires, since the shoulder guards revealed to the Blood Ravens on Lorn V had had an Ultramarine symbol painted on top of the Hydra symbol of the Alpha Legion. This is however a little confusing, since Ahriman is leading the sorcerer squad, which would make them Thousand Sons, not Alpha Legionnaires.

Chaplain Varnus of the Ultramarines.
"We have weathered fiercer storms than this! Hold the line,damn you.You will not embarrass the Emperor today by dying!"

Chaplain Varnus was a member of the Adeptus Astartes and belonged to the Ultramarines Chapter.

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.
