Orpheron
Orpheron was a Knight of House Terryn who piloted the Knight Paladin[2] Unending Victory[1]. When the Ultramarines received a plea for aid from the Hive World Thraxia after Hive Primus suffered a Tyranid invasion, Orpheron joined the Chapter's strike force sent to end the Xenos' threat. However, when they arrived weeks later, the strike force discovered that Hive Primus' population had been devoured and the Tyranids were laying in wait for them. In the fierce battle that followed, Orpheron slew many of the Tyranids before he was killed by the combined psychic powers of a group of Zoanthropes. Without Orpheron to control it, the damaged Unending Victory soon toppled into a nearby landing pad and exploded, killing a large number of Tyranids in the process.[2]
