Olmenus
Olmenus was a member of the Ultramarines Legion who took part in the Battle of Calth as part of Sergeant Caudeus's squadron and later fought in the Underground War beneath its surface. It was during that war underground that the squadrons of Caudeus and Sergeant Tynon became separated from their Legion while fighting in Vault-Vexillium, when the Word Bearers began to break through the Ultramarines' battle lines. They soon found themselves surrounded by the advancing Word Bearers and their situation was even more critical because Caudeus's squadron held the relic Honour Standard, known as Guilliman's First Oath. Realizing that the Word Bears would seize the Honour Standard after they were killed, the two Sergeants agreed to go on the attack and attempt a breakout that would allow one of their number to escape with the relic. Caudeus chose Olmenus to complete their urgent goal and placed the Honour Standard in his hands, as the Ultramarines went on to sell their lives dearly against the Word Bearers. Their sacrifice allowed Olmenus to escape down a service chute and he later brought the Honour Standard to safety, when he located other Ultramarines forces.[1][1]
