Biography
Terran Crusade
At the time of the Ultramar Campaign Messinius was the 10th Company Captain of the White Consuls and was leading a delegation to Ultramar to request aid for his Chapter's efforts at Cadia. However he became caught up in the Terran Crusade and accompanied the newly reborn Primarch Roboute Guilliman to Terra.[1c]
After surviving the journey to Terra, he took part in the Battle of Lion's Gate against the Daemons of Khorne. In that battle, Messinius commanded a scratch Company of the Terran Crusade's surviving Space Marines and a number of the Palatine Guard.[1a] While on Terra Messinius was head of Guilliman's security.[1c] By this point Messinius learned of the fall of his Chapter's Homeworld of Sabatine and was not sure how much of the White Consuls had even survived. [1d]
Indomitus Crusade
Messinius was on the Zar-Quaesitor for Belisarius Cawl's reveal and demonstration of the Primaris Space Marines. During the combat demonstration he felt a tingle in the back of his neck and left to investigate. In a corridor nearby he met Alpha Primus (Space Marine), who believes Messinius has some sensitivity to the warp since he felt his manipulation. Alpha Primus (Space Marine) says he is loyal to the throne and says he called Messinius to warn him, and told him not to trust everything Cawl says, but did specify that Cawl has no desire to rule and wants the salvation on mankind. He also informed Messinius that he's different in some way than the standard Primaris Space Marines. After they talked Messinius returned to the display hall to finish watching the demonstration. He ordered his troops to perform a sweep, but knew they would find nothing.[1b]
After the reveal of the Primaris Space Marines, Guilliman had individual meetings with the Space Marines that accompanied him on the Terran Crusade. During his meeting with Messinius Guilliman gave him the choice of going with a Torchbearer fleet to reinforce the White Consuls, or stay and help the Indomitus Crusade. Messinius chose to stay, so Guilliman gave him the temporary rank of Lord Lieutenant, he was given command of a group of Primaris Space Marines attached to Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius' Battlegroup Saint Aster, and assigned him to act as one of the chief advisors of Cassandra VanLeskus. Guilliman also assigned him a Primaris Adjutant, Lieutenant Ferren Areios, Ferren's assignment to Messinius was based on his psyche profile and simulation evaluations. At the end of their meeting Guilliman gifted Messinius a Auramite Power Fist and Plasma Pistol that had been customized for him, then assigned him to take his primaris marines and asses the status of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quintus.[1c]
Messinius later led his battlegroup in the Battle of Machorta Sound. During the battle he led the boarding party of the Chaos Blackstone machine alongside Inquisitor Rostov, successfully disabling it.[1e]
At some point during the crusade Messinius informed Ferren Areios that the Unnumbered Sons were starting to be disbanded. He also informed him that Roboute Guilliman himself requested Ferren for the ultramarines, and that he'd be joining the 6th Company at the Anaxian Line.[5a]
Later in the crusade Messinius met Inquisitor Rostov again when Rostov was looking for reinforcements to fight the Hand of Abaddon. Rostov informed Messinius of everything he'd learned relating to the Hand of Abaddon since the Battle of Machorta Sound. After listening Messinius informed him that he couldn't divert entire battle groups for him while success was so uncertain, however he was able to give him a modest force. He also made it clear that he did not appreciate Rostov bringing along the Oblivion Knight Syreniel as a subtle manipulation to remind him of the Emperor's will. Regardless, Messinius promised Rostov that if he could find this fortress, and if his fears were founded, Messinius would send him a greater force to deal with the threat.[5b]

Messinius wields a relic Auramite Power Fist given to him personally by Roboute Guilliman, it is painted in the White Consuls Livery and has the trim of Messinius' personal heraldry[1c]. Messinius also uses a more modern Plasma Pistol.[3]
