'''Ortan Cassius''' is [[Master of Sanctity]] of the [[Ultramarines]].
==History==
At almost four hundred years old, Cassius is the oldest ([[Dreadnought|non-interred]]) member of the Ultramarines [[Chapter]]. He has perfected his oratory skills to allow the Ultramarines to be carried across hundreds of worlds by his command alone.{{Fn|3}}
During the [[Battle for Macragge]], Cassius fought by the side of [[Chapter Master]] [[Marneus Calgar]], to repel [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. During the last stages of the Battle, he accompanied the relief force that rushed to the polar fortresses to relieve the embattled [[First Company]], though it was already too late for these veterans. Few members of Cassius's unit survived the brutal close-quarters combat that followed, and Cassius himself was incapacitated by a rampaging [[Carnifex]]. He survived by only the slimmest of margins, clinging to life until the [[Apothecaries]] could tend to his ruined body, which was extensively rebuilt with [[bionic]] parts.{{Fn|3}}
