Caelus Viator
Caelus Viator was the first Chapter Master of the Tome Keepers.[1]
He was formerly the Captain of the Ultramarines 2nd Company, in the wake of the War of the Beast. That conflict was devastating for the Imperium and the Fourth Founding was enacted to defend it in its weakened state. The Tome Keepers, who were originally known as Chapter 281, were one of the Chapters created and were descended from the Gene-seed of the Ultramarines. This led Viator to be selected as its Chapter Master and he would eventually chose Istrouma to be the new Chapter's Homeworld. To honour the event, Istrouma's populace presented Viator with one of their greatest possessions – a stasis-sealed volume known as the White Book. Viator returned the honour by naming his Chapter the Tome Keepers.[1]
