Biography
Acheran was originally an officer serving under Cato Sicarius in the 2nd Company. However, he became the Captain of the Company after Sicarius was lost to the Warp early in the Indomitus Crusade, due to the formation of the Great Rift.[2]
War of Beasts
One of his notable actions was leading the attack on the Black Legion held world of Nemendghast, during the War of Beasts. Despite being badly outnumbered by the Black Legion forces during the Nemendghast Raid, Acheran refused to leave and instead ordered an attack to destroy the world's Daemonic factories. [2]
The orbiting Chaos fleet soon became alerted to Acheran's attack and as it began moving to aid Nemendghast, the crew of the Captain's Strike Cruiser Carpatia warned Acheran of the fleet. The Captain then immediately led the remnants of his forces in a final attack that destroyed the Daemon factories, but by then they were swarmed by the Black Legion. Acheran knew they could not break free from the Traitors and instead ordered the Vanguard Librarian Maltis, to escape and bring word of what had happened to Chapter Master Calgar. Maltis successfully returned to the Carpatia, which then escaped to Vigilus.[2]
Fourth Tyranic War
During the affair surrounding Project Aurora, Acheran reincorporates Demetrian Titus as a Lieutenant into the 2nd Company. Acheran has some suspicions of Titus due to his history as a Deathwatch Blackshield and detainment by the Inquisition.[3a] He later fights under Marneus Calgar against the Thousand Sons on Demerium and congratulates Titus for his efforts after the battle.[3b] However his service to the Imperium ended, when Acheran led a strike force to Trygg, to investigate the disappearance of a Munitorum survey vessel, and the Captain's forces were destroyed by a Genestealer Cult. Their sacrifice though, greatly reduced the spread of the Cult's rebellion and allowed the Hive World to be saved by Imperial reinforcements. Titus would then be selected to succeed Acheran as Captain of the Ultramarines' 2nd Company.[5]
