Markus Nostrum
Markus Nostrum, known as The Worthy, was a legendary hero and Venerable Dreadnought in the Blood Ravens Chapter. Before his internment[1a], Nostrum was the Captain of the Chapter's Second Company for almost four centuries and fought across the Imperium, opposing heretics and Xenos with equal zeal. It was while leading the Second he earned the moniker of Markus the Worthy during the Aventine Crusade, when only he was able to cross the threshold of the Shrine of the Seventh Martyr, when that holy site was wreathed in miraculous psychic flames.[1b] His command of the Second finally came to an end during the Battle of Yaltha, when he suffered grievous wounds that led to his internment within a Dreadnought sarcophagus. Two centuries later, he took part in the Fourth Crusade to the Halo Stars, where he single handily held off hordes of Xenos, to hold the Crusade's southern flank, during a battle. Though it cost Nostrum his life, his efforts allowed the Crusade's forces to mount a counter attack against the attacking Xenos.[1a]
