→History as a Grey Knight: "Bladebreaker" is a single word in the novel
Having a literal "baptism of fire", Hyperion's first major combat in the Grey Knights was the [[First War for Armageddon]] against the [[Daemon|daemonic]] and [[World Eater]] hordes of [[Angron]]. Before the battle, certain he would die, he asked his traveling companion [[Inquisitor]] [[Annika Jarlsdottyr]] of his origins, and was able to learn of his early past.{{Fn|1c}}
It was on [[Armageddon]] that Hyperion's latent psychic might manifested after witnessing his [[Battle-Brother]] and friend [[Malchadiel]] being crippled at the hands of Angron. As Angron was about to finish his Battle-Brother, Hyperion intercepted the killing stroke of Angron's [[Black Blade]] with a burst of psychic energy, freezing it in mid-air. Using all of his power, Hyperion was able to at first crack then shatter Angron's black blade. Rendering himself unconscious in the process, Hyperion's act allowed the rest of the Grey Knights, led by [[Taremar Aurellian]], to banish Angron back to the [[Warp]]. The incredible act earned him the title ''Blade BreakerBladebreaker'' by the [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|1a}}
Later, Hyperion would inadvertently land himself in a central role during the cold war between the [[Inquisition]] and Space Wolves, later known as the [[Months of Shame]]. Reluctantly but obediently taking part in the Ordo Malleus' purges of the population of [[Armageddon]] following the war in order to erase the taint of [[Chaos]], Hyperion witnessed the death of Grand Master Joros due to [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Ghesmei Kysnaros]]' mismanagement and underestimation of the Wolves. He later took part in the conflicts climax over [[Fenris]], when the entire fleet of the [[Red Hunters]] as well as Inquisitorial and Grey Knights warship besieged the planet. Hyperion, Annika, and Kysnaros attempted to try and negotiate an end to the conflict with [[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]], but diplomacy failed. Hyperion and his remaining Battle-Brothers then fought on the [[Battleship]] ''Corel's Hope'' against Space Wolves [[Terminator]]s led by [[Logan Grimnar]] himself. The timely intervention of Bjorn ended the conflict, on the condition that Hyperion go to [[The Fang]] and tell of his order to the Space Wolves, for they would never forget the Grey Knights as an enemy. Hyperion agreed, and traveled down to The Fang once more to tell of his Brotherhood.{{Fn|1b}}
