→History
Several fanes and shrines were dedicated to Samus throughout the Whisperhead region, the majority of them in the caverns of the highest peak. The Imperial forces destroyed these as they advanced through the territory. While the Imperium later conjectured that Samus was somehow deliberately unleashed upon them, it is also possible that these fanes were part of the restraint placed upon Samus (if the old legend is believed) as his attack came soon after around thirty of them were destroyed.
Samus possessed the body of [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Xayver Xavyer Jubal]] of the [[Luna Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion]]. In this form, Samus was able to eliminate over a dozen [[Marines]] before being defeated. He also killed several [[remembrancer]]s accompanying the Wolves' deployment.
Samus was defeated when [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Garviel Loken]] and Sergeant [[Nero Vipus]] fired over ninety [[Bolt Weapons|bolt rounds]] into his body, bursting it apart beyond capacity to operate, and then incinerated the remains with a [[flamer]]. It is probable that Samus's spirt was banished back to the freedom of the [[Warp]] by this action, no longer restrained to the one location.
