As a full battle-brother, Rammius would join [[Castellan (Black Templars)|Castellan]] Mefridus' Crusade and fight in many campaigns, alongside many of the Chapter's heroes. However, none would have as great an impact on him as a [[Castellan (Black Templars)|Castellan]] named [[Helbrecht]]. The two would form a close bond over the following decades.{{Fn|1b}}
Rammius would also be responsible for training his own Neophyte, and during a resupply stop at the Chapter Keep of Fergax, Rammius selected one named Varin. After the Crusade was replenished, Rammius followed Mefridus to the [[Hell Stars]] of the [[Garon Nebula]], where the Black Templar engaged fierce crystalline xeno creatures, able to focus deadly energies through their bodies into beams of intense power capable of piercing even [[Terminator Armour]]. After seven years of intense fighting Rammius deemed Varin's training complete and elevated him to the rank of Initiate. Rammius would take on several new Neophytes during the course of the Crusade until the final assault on the creatures' last bastion. A giant crystal warrior, tearing through the Black Templars' lines, was poised to slain slay Mefridus when Rammius saved the Castellan, shattering the xenos with one blow from his [[power fist]]. In recognition of his deed, Mefridus inducted Rammius into his personal household and elevated him to the rank of Sword Brethren.{{Fn|1b}}
