{{PAGENAME}} was a [[Captain]] of the [[Imperial Fists]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Acting as commander of [[Primarch]] [[Rogal Dorn]]'s [[Huscarl]] [[Honour Guard]], Archamus was less emotional and more in tune with the emotions of his gene-father than [[First Captain]] [[Sigismund]].{{Fn|1}} Archamus was a highly suspicious and careful individual, acting disdainful towards members of the [[Word Bearers]] even before they had revealed their treachery.{{Fn|2}}
==Overview==Archamus was a highly suspicious born '''Kye''' on [[Inwit]] in the early 800's.[[M30]]. As the recently discovered [[Rogal Dorn]] swore an oath to serve the [[Emperor]], Kye was one of the original [[Imperial Fists]] to be inducted into the [[Legion]] under [[Rogal Dorn]], an honored fraternity known as '''The First'''. During his training as an [[Aspirant]], Kys bonded closely with his squad mates Archamus and [[Yonnad]]. As part of the brutal training, the trio were forced to fight [[Combat Servitor]]s together. During one such action Archamus died saving Kye. When Kye subsequently was fully inducted into the Imperial Fists and careful individualsaid his vows before Rogal Dorn, acting disdainful towards members he took the oath name Archamus in his squad mates honor.{{Fn|3}} Archamus would eventually rise to become Dorn's trusted praetorian and captain of his [[Huscarls]] guard.{{Fn|3a}} During the [[Solar War]], Archamus was charged with investigating [[Alpha Legion]] activity across the [[Sol System]]. Working with his trusted [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Kestros]] and the [[Luna]] Gene-Cult [[Psyker]] [[Andromeda-17]], Archamus was eventually able to deduce that the Alpha Legion intended to assault [[Word BearersPluto]] even before they . During the [[Battle of Pluto|subsequent battle]], Archamus was impaled by [[Alpharius]] himself as Rogal Dorn arrived. As Dorn and Alpharius clashed, the spear thrust intended for the Imperial Fists Primarch was halted by a mortally wounded Archamus. Using this as an opening, Dorn was able to kill the traitorous Primarch. In a rare emotional moment, Dorn stated to his "son" that he had revealed their treacheryfailed him. However Archamus died, he said he was not Dorn's son but his praetorian.{{Fn|23b}}
