Cerastes
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Cerastes is a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers Legion, who was born on the Imperial Ecclesiarchy Scribe World, Legitur.[1]
History
He attempted to corrupt his Homeworld into the worship of the Chaos Gods, but his warband was defeated by the Adepta Sororitas' Order of the Thorn. Cerastes survived though, and the Dark Apostle is continuing his efforts to corrupt Legitur and in doing so, gain revenge against his Homeworld. But Cerastes has to be wary that the Ecclesiarchy does not discover his heretics, lest they cast him from Legitur in defeat.[1]
