Sidarius Calvin
Sidarius Calvin was the Princeps of the Warlord Titan Semper Sanctus, part of the Legio Praetor.[1]
He took part in the Battle for Macragge during the First Tyrannic War. The Princeps and his consorts were stationed to defend the Northern Polar Defence Grid when it came under attack from a large wave of Tyranids. As the battle began, Sidarius fired upon the smaller Tyranids until he sighted a Hierophant Bio-Titan advancing upon the defenders.[1]
Deeming it a threat that had to be immediately destroyed, Sidarius advanced the Semper Sanctus through the horde of smaller Tyranids to engage it, firing upon it as he did so. As the Semper Sanctus fought the Hierophant, it continued to wade through the smaller Tyranids to do so and soon its legs became immobilized when their bodies clogged the Titan's leg joints. The Hierophant soon fired upon the trapped Semper Sanctus and destroyed its left arm, killing several of its crew in the process. Now unable to move or fire upon the Tyranids, Sidarius could do nothing as they began to crawl upon the Semper Sanctus, seeking to kill its crew. Unwilling to allow the Titan to be taken apart by the Tyranids, Sidarius initiated a reactor overload which completely destroyed the Semper Sanctus, as well as the Hierophant it had been fighting.[1]
