Vitrian Messinius^[1]

Vitrian Messinius is a White Consuls Captain and Master of Recruits who commands Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius' Battlegroup Saint Aster as a Lord Lieutenant.^[1a]

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.^[1a]

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. By this point Messinius learned of the fall of his Chapter's Homeworld of Sabatine and was not sure if the White Consuls had even survived. Ultimately when the Indomitus Crusade began and Messinius joined its forces as a Lord Lieutenant, he was given command of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius' Battlegroup Saint Aster, which he led during the Battle of Machorta Sound. During the battle he led the boarding party of the Chaos Blackstone machine alongside Inquisitor Rostov, successfully disabling it.^[1b]

Messinius wields a relic Auramite Power Fist given to him personally by Roboute Guilliman as well as a more modern Plasma Pistol.^[3]
