'''Arkio''' (also known as '''Arkio the Blessed''' and the '''Reborn Angel'''), was a veteran [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine]], and the figurehead of the short-lived "'''Arkio Insurrection'''."
==History==
{{Spoiler|source=Blood Angels (Novel Series)}}''
===Bellus Expedition===
Due to sibling rivalry between himself and Rafen, Arkio began to strike out alone to find his own course, and took a posting on the ''[[Bellus]]'' expedition, a mission led by [[Inquisitor]] [[Ramius Stele]] to recover the lost [[Spear of Telesto]], that had once belonged to [[Sanguinius]], from the hands of an ork warlord. During the mission, he was promoted to the position of honour guard for the [[Sanguinary Priest]] [[Sachiel]]. They successfully recovered the Spear and returned it to the Chapter. However, Arkio was unaware that he had been chosen for manipulation by Inquisitor Stele in a scheme that would ultimately plunge the Blood Angels into civil war and nearly destroy the whole Chapter. Stele somehow managed to plant an "egg" (crafted by the [[Lord of Change]] [[Malfallax]] from himself) between the bones of his spinal column, and slowly mutated him into the image of [[Sanguinius]].
