Decius was the youngest member of [[Space_Marine_CaptainSpace Marine Captain|Battle-Captain]] [[Nathaniel Garro]]'s [[command squad]], and had a hard and determined edge to him that seemed out of place on such a young countenance. Nevertheless, his eyes were bright and he was often awash with excitement at the possibility of earning glory for his [[Primarch]]. Decius favoured quickly closing to engage hand-to-hand with the enemy, instead of the customary Death Guard habit of a methodical gunline , gun-line assault. His weapon of choice was a [[Power Fist|power fist]]; he was particularly adept with the brutal weapon. Decius was loyal to Garro, and did not join the warrior-lodge lodges that existed inside the Death Guard as a result of Garro's expressing his disapproval of the lodge{{Cite This}}.

Decius's life was saved by Battle-Captain Garro on [[Isstvan Extremis]], when Garro pushed him out of the path of the attack of a [[Warsinger]]. Decius and the badly-wounded Garro then fought back to back amidst a swarm of enemies until the conclusion of the battle{{Cite This}}.

As a member of Garro's command squad, Decius was fated to be aboard the frigate ''[[Eisenstein]]'' when Garro took control of the vessel and fled the [[Isstvan III|Isstvan system]] in an attempt to bring the [[Emperor]] a message of [[Horus]]' treachery{{Cite This}}.

During the flight of the ''Eisenstein'' Solun took part in what was possibly the first battle against [[Plague Marine]]s. Despite killing a great number of his reanimated, traitorous former comrades, Solun was finally laid low by an attack from a [[Plague Knife|plague knife]]. In a final act of defiance Solun cut off his own arm in a vain attempt to halt the rampant infection attacking his body, a disease now known as [[Nurgle's Rot]]{{Cite This}}.  After his injury Solun was confided to an isolation bay while [[Apothecary]] [[Voyen ]] tried to find a cure for his ailments. Even on transfer to [[Rogal Dorn]]'s flagship, the [[Phalanx]], no cure could be found{{Cite This}}.

Later, after completing their journey to the [[Terra|Terra system]], Solun and his fellow Death Guard loyalists were held in a fortress of the [[Sisters of Silence|Silent Sisterhood]], located in the [[Somnus Citadel]] on [[Luna]]. Here Solun finally gave in to the power of [[Nurgle]] , allowing his corrupted body to be mutated in to into a [[daemon|daemonic]] entity, known as the Lord of the Flies. His body was twisted , having an arachnid -styled face with many eyes and mandibles for a mouth, ; his cut off amputated hand had been remoulded into a bony , sharp appendage and his daemonic form had a swarm of insects surrounding him which healed injuries inflicted on him{{Cite This}}.

In this state Solun killed two of his brother marines who were standing vigil over his prone form, until his now inevitable death. Later , after killing many of the other people in the sisterhoods Sisterhood's care, Solun was finally slain on the surface of [[Luna]] by Captain Nathaniel Garro, his former captain and mentor{{Cite This}}.
