'''Alessio Cortez''' was a [[Captain]] of the [[Crimson Fists]] Fourth Company, known for his pride, stubbornness and for being impossible to kill. It is said that only two bones in his entire body hadn't been broken one or more times. Cortez went missing in action after a battle with [[Eldar]] Raiders, and nothing is known of his whereabouts as of late [[M41]]. His old friend and brother [[Space Marine|Marine]], [[Pedro Kantor]], remains convinced that Cortez is still alive.{{Cite This}}
