→Bellus Expedition
==History==
===Bellus Expedition===
Due to sibling rivalry between himself and Rafen, Arkio began to strike out alone to find his own course, and took a posting on the [[Bellus Expedition]], a mission led by [[Inquisitor]] [[Ramius Stele]] to recover the lost [[Spear of Telesto]] that once belonged to [[Sanguinius]]from the hands of an ork warlord. During the mission, he was promoted to the position of honour guard for the [[Sanguinary Priest]] [[Sachiel]]. They successfully recovered the Spear and returned it to the Chapter. However, Arkio was unaware that he had been chosen for manipulation by Inquisitor Stele in a scheme that would ultimately plunge the Blood Angels into civil war and nearly destroy the whole Chapter. Stele somehow managed to plant an "egg" (crafted by the [[Lord of Change]] [[Mallafax]] from himself) between the bones of his spinal column, and slowly mutated him into the image of [[Sanguinius]].
===Cybele===
The Bellus and Arkio (still untransformed) travelled to the burial world [[Cybele]], which was under assault by a force of [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaos Space Marines]] led by the [[Dark Apostle]] [[Iskavan|Iskavan the Hated]], to relief the Blood Angels forces guarding the world. Arkio led an infiltration mission to the enemy-held Space Port, and turned its missiles on the [[Chaos]] [[Grand Cruiser]] [[Orge Lord]] in orbit, destroying it and sending Chaos forces reeling. He later single-handedly saved Sachiel from a daemon, then rallied the men and became the figurehead which turned the tide against the Word Bearers.
