→Biography
Despite his disfigurement, Tycho conducted several brilliant campaigns as leader of the 3rd Company, and many regarded him as [[Dante]]'s likely successor as [[Chapter Master]]. Yet he continued to brood on his injury, and could not bear to stay at the [[fortress-monastery]] on [[Baal]], with its majestic architecture and beautiful artworks, for any length of time, and Dante reluctantly assigned him to increasingly dangerous battle-missions, with increasing frequency.{{Fn|6}}
During the [[Third War for Armageddon]], the [[Chaplain]]s noticed a familiar gleam in Tycho's eye. They knew when they spoke to him that he was seeing visions of the final battles of [[Sanguinius]] and was hard-pressed to tell them apart from reality. [[Chaplain]] [[Vermento]]'s report was ": {{QuoteBox|quote = '''''Since his grievous wounding at the battle for Armageddon, Tycho has become increasingly violent of temperament and attitude. It is my strongest recommendation to assign Brother-Captain Tycho to active battle duty permanently."'''''{{Fn|3}}|}}
Tycho was inducted into the [[Death Company]] and he asked to lead the assault on the Ork-held defences of [[Hive Tempestora]]. Records show how he fought with the fury and skill of Sanguinius himself, unstoppable amidst the sea of Orks, enduring wounds that would kill a normal man outright.{{Fn|6}}
