Changes

'''Quirion Octavius''' is the name of a [[Space Marine]] who originally saw service within the [[Imperial Fists]] [[Chapter]] that served the [[Imperium]] of Man.¹

At some point, he was transferred to the [[Deathwatch]] where he continued to serve under the [[Inquisition]]'s [[Ordo Xenos]] kill-teams and held the rank of [[Captain]]. His long campaign had meant that his name inspired terror within a number of [[Eldar]] and [[Ork]] warlords. At some point, he acquired an [[Eldar]] blade from a defeated foe from the [[Biel-Tan]] [[Craftworld]]. Captain Octavius frequently fell under the service of [[Inquisitor]] [[Agustius]] and at some point was assigned on a mission where he was to meet with the Inquisitor in the [[Segmentum Obscurus]]. However, during transit, his team discovered the [[Herodian IV]] [[warp]] gate being blocked and instead he was recruited to serve under [[Inquisitor Lord]] [[Brutius Parthon]] who dispatched his agent [[Kalypsia]] to direct Captain Octavius's team. They travelled to the Herodian system where they joined the [[Imperial Navy]] forces there who were struggling to combat a rogue splinter of [[Tyranid]]s that had mysteriously arrived and attacked Herodian IV. Despite the presence of the [[Mantis Warriors]], the Imperial forces were incapable of defeating the Tyranid forces and if the planet fell than the link to the Segmentum Obscuras would fall as well due to the importance of the warp gate. Despite the insistence of Captain [[Kastor]] who suggested that an [[Exterminatus]] be conducted to purge the planet of the Tyranid infestation, Inquisitor Kalypsia instead ordered that a mission be conducted to target the ruling [[Hive Tyrant]] within the swarm in the belief that its destruction would cripple the [[Hive Fleet]].¹
