[[Image:SM-Telion.jpg|right|thumbnail|Scout Sgt Telion]]
'''Torias Telion''' is a [[Scout Sergeant|Sergeant]] in the [[Ultramarines]] 10th Company, and a peerless trainer of recruits.
Much of Telion's skill is an innate gift, a quirky fusion between his latent ability and his [[geneseed]], yet he is such a fine instructor that many raw recruits under his tutelage have become as skilled as the most experienced Captain. Thanks in large measure to him, the [[Ultramarines]] have a well-deserved reputation for fielding the finest marksmen of any Space Marine Chapter. Indeed, so famous is Telion that he has been frequently seconded to other [[Chapters]] with close ties to the Ultramarines, in order to pass on his teachings for the wider benefit of the Emperor's cause<sup id="fn_1a_back">[[#fn_1a|[1a]]]</sup>.
===Old One EyeCalth===
Telion answered cries of help from the people of [[Calth]] when [[Old One Eye]], a unique [[Tyranid]] [[Carnifex]], was released from its frozen slumber in the ice and went on to slaughter its way across the planet. Telion tracked down Old One Eye, but found it difficult to pierce its armoured flanks. As Telion's warriors were cut to pieces by the beast, Telion made a one-in-a-million shot that hit the creature's ruined eye-socket, the same wound which had stopped its first rampage on Calth. Old One Eye was overcome with pain and stumbled into a cavernous ravine. Telion led a search for the body, but Old One Eye was never found<sup id="fn_2_back">[[#fn_2|[2]]]</sup>.
=== Black Reach ===
Telion was seconded to Captain [[Cato Sicarius]]'s Second Company during its deployment to [[Black Reach]] in 855.[[M41]]<sup id="fn_1c_back">[[#fn_1c|[1c]]]</sup>,<sup id="fn_3_back">[[#fn_3|[3]]]</sup>. After the initial liberation of Ghospora Hive from the [[Ork]]s of [[Waaagh!]] [[Zanzag]], Telion was instrumental in tracking down the [[Warboss]]'s hidden submarine base in an underwater cavern, where Sicarius launched the final assault of the campaign<sup id="fn_3_back">[[#fn_3|[3]]]</sup>.
=== Quintarn ===
During the [[Bloodborn]]'s invasion of [[Ultramar]] in 854999.[M41]]<sup id="fn_1c_back">[[#fn_1c|[1c]]]</sup>, Telion and the majority of the 10th Company was deployed to [[Quintarn]], where the 6th and 7th [[Reserve Company|Reserve Companies]] were battling against the forces of the [[Dark Mechanicus]] Adept [[Votheer Tark]]. Although some of the Companies' officers demanded that Telion and his Scouts attach themselves to the main order of battle, Telion ignored these demands and faded into the forests with his men, invisibly watching over the Marines and striking without warning at the [[Chaos]] forces<sup id="fn_4_back">[[#fn_4|[4]]]</sup>.
