Severus Agemman is the Captain of the Ultramarines 1st Company and Regent of Ultramar.[1]

Biography

Previously the Captain of the 2nd Company, Agemman was promoted to 1st Captain after his predecessor, Captain Saul Invictus, was killed during the Battle for Macragge.[2a] While Captain Agemman is nominally the successor to Marneus Augustus Calgar as Chapter Master, Cato Sicarius, his successor as Captain of the 2nd Company, is considered the more likely heir, a possibility that others speculate must displease Agemman.[2a][3a][3b]

Agemman can be characterised as cold, stern and calculating, favouring logical approaches to the degree that he lacks bravado or spectacle. This has led to some doubts from other Ultramarines over his suitability for the role. Nevertheless, his rank is strongly endorsed by Marneus Calgar and Roboute Guilliman.[18]

Aftermath of Damnos

A few weeks after the Damnos Incident Agemman was present in the apothecarion when Sicarius woke up from his revivification casket, he was there to summon Sicarius before Calgar, but Sicarius stated that before he could say so. Sicarius then led Agemman, Vantor and Daceus to the armorium, to the remains of the Necrons they brought back from Damnos. It turns out the remains were still active and all of them unloaded all of their ammunition into the Necrons to destroy them. Afterwards Agemman ordered that the remains be incinerated.[15]

Trial of Uriel Ventris

Agemman was present for the trial of Uriel Ventris and Pasanius. After the first day of the trial he visited Uriel and Pasanius in their cells on behalf of Calgar. He told Uriel how he had watched his career closely since before he was at the Agiselus Barracks, and even knew what he did in the Deathwatch and why he will never speak of it. He convinced both Uriel and Pasanius to plead guilty in their trial, telling them how if other Ultramarines see their superiors flaunt the Codex Astartes it would cause them to do the same, and they had to stop this dissension before it spread to the whole chapter.[16]

Aftermath of the Invasion

In the aftermath of the Bloodborn's failed Invasion of Ultramar, Chief Librarian Tigurius met with Calgar to discuss concerns he had about Agemman's role as First Captain. Tigurius claimed that Agemman had not fully recovered from being struck down by the Daemon Prince M'kar during the invasion, and was no longer the warrior he once was. He went on to state that if the Ultramarines were to face any future threats to the Imperium, they would need a new Captain who was fully capable of leading the Chapter's First Company into battle. Calgar took what Tigurius said into consideration, but has made no final decision on Agemman's fate.[9]

Ultramar Campaign

During the Ultramar Campaign Agemann again took up arms to repel against a Chaos invasion, this time fighting alongside his reborn Primarch Roboute Guilliman. After the battle Agemman stayed alongside Marneus Calgar and Tigurius to oversee Ultramar as Guilliman embarked on the Terran Crusade and would defend Ultramar during the subsequent Plague Wars.

Plague Wars

The following paragraphs contain spoilers for: Dark Imperium (Novel)

The forces of Nurgle kept the Ultramarines hard pressed for years. Eventually Guilliman led a sizable strike force to aid Ultramar and when he arrived he conducted a strategic meeting on how to deal with Nurgle's forces.[10]

During the meeting Guilliman also discussed the future of the Realm of Ultramar and stated he had made a mistake by decreasing Ultramar's size in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy. He was going to fix that mistake, by making Ultramar even larger than it once was and in order to ensure this would take place, Guilliman reinstated the rank of Tetrarch. Agemman was the first to be chosen and the First Captain readily agreed to his new position. He was given command of Konor and was charged with increasing Ultramar's northern territories; which included the Scourge Stars, which Guilliman ordered Agemman to reclaim from the forces of Nurgle.[11]

Fourth Tyrannic War

During the Fourth Tyrannic War, Agemann was rapidly dispatched to Segmentum Pacificus to lead a Solblade against the forces of Hive Fleet Leviathan. Battling the tendril Grendyllus in the Bastior Sub-sector, his knowledge on Tyranid-killing given onto him by his friend and brother Ortan Cassius proved invaluable.[13]

Ultramar

During the Ultramarian Reclamation, Agemman led the northern front of the campaign from Konor.[20]

Heraldry

As Captain of the 1st Company, Severus Agemman’s heraldry incorporates a combination of his own personal heraldry and the colours of the 1st Company.

Conflicting sources

During the Invasion of Ultramar in 854999.M41, Marneus Calgar travels to Talassar to confront the Daemon Prince M'kar.

  • According to Codex: Space Marines (5th Edition), the 2nd Company, under Sicarius, accompanies Calgar to Talassar.[2b]
  • In The Chapter's Due, by Graham McNeill, however, the 2nd Company is dispatched to Espandor, while Calgar is accompanied to Talassar by the 1st Company under Captain Agemman. The 2nd Company does not reach Talassar until the end of the novel, to reinforce Calgar's position after concluding the campaign on Espandor.[3]
