'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Crimson Sabres]] [[Chapter]]'s Sixth [[Company]], when the [[Chapter]] commited the massacre of the world [[Umidia]]'s population. Afterwards {{PAGENAME}} and his Chapter were cursed with constantly hearing the voices of their victims and were declared [[Excommunicate Traitoris]] by the [[Imperium]] for their actions on Umidia, as well as on [[Demetra]]. The Chapter then fled to the [[Eye of Terror]], seeking martyrdom and redemption, but this later changed when their [[Chapter Master]] [[Sevastus Kranon]] declared that they would live and be reborn as the [[Crimson Slaughter]] Warband. A short time later, the voices inside {{PAGENAME}}'s head told him he would be a better leader than the weak Kranon and that he should seize control of the Warband. The Captain had always coveted the chance to become Chapter Master, but he had been passed over for promotion many times; though now with the Crimson Sabres being no more, there was no tradition or pulls at {{PAGENAME}}'s honour to prevent him from taking control of the Warband.{{Fn|1}}
With his decision made, {{PAGENAME}} pledged his own dark pacts with the voices within him, for the boon of power and immediately stormed the command bridge of the Crimson Slaughter's flagship, the [[Red Honour]], and challenged Kranon for leadership of the Warband. {{PAGENAME}} and Kranon had dueled against each other constantly, ever since they both served as [[Scouts]], but this was different and no mercy would be given. As their fight wore on however, {{PAGENAME}} proved to be no match for Kranon, who easily split the Captain's body horizontally in half. As the Captain's body fell to the ground in two pieces, Kranon turned away triumphantly; but {{PAGENAME}} was just the first of many challengers, he would now have to face as the [[Chaos Lord|Lord]] of the Crimson Slaughter.{{Fn|1}}
