==History==

Azkaellon participated in the joint Blood Angels/[[Luna Wolves]] assault on [[Melchior]], fighting the [[Nephilim]]. Following the battle, it was discovered that Battle-brother [[Alotros]] of the 111th Company had fallen to the [[Red Thirst]]. As one of the few who knew of the condition, Azkaellon helped [[First Captain]] [[Raldoron]] secure the site, but objected to Sanguinius becoming involved, saying that Alotros needed to be handled quietly. Sanguinius disagreed, saying that he needed to be there. While they saw Sanguinius go in, both Azkaellon and Raldoron were shocked to see both Sanguinius and [[Horus Lupercal]] emerge. Azkaellon rounded on Raldoron, saying his warriors were insufficient for the task at hand. Raldoron countered that his Sergeant [[Zuriel]] had equally failed to detect the Primarch of the Luna Wolves, and Azkaellon retorted that Zuriel would be disciplined for his failure, and Raldoron had little doubt of that.{{Fn|2a}}

Some years later, Azkaellon was dispatched with [[Task Force Ignis]] to locate a scientific colony on [[Nartaba Octus]], following rumours that there was a scientific facility that could help with dealing with the Red Thirst.{{Fn|2b}} However, the Blood Angels discovered that the planet was overrun with [[Dark Eldar]], who had destroyed the facility. Azkaellon would take little part in the battle of Nartaba Octus following this discovery,{{Fn|2c}} but did come to see [[Apothecary]] [[Meros]] when he learned that the battle-brother had been injured by a Dark Eldar soulseeker. Azkaellon had assumed that Meros would perish, but was impressed to discover that the Apothecary survived. He then relayed to Meros, Sergeant [[Cassiel]], and [[Sarga]] that the entire IX [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] was to rendezvous and converge on the [[Signus Cluster]], as per the orders of [[Warmaster]] Horus.{{Fn|3}} Before Task Force Ignis departed, however, a ship of the [[Space Wolves]] Legion carrying [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Helik Redknife]] and his squad arrived, carrying orders from [[Malcador (Character)|Malcador the Sigillite]] that the Wolves to observe. Azkaellon rebuked Redknife both for his reckless flying and the presence of [[Rune Priest]] [[Jonor Stiel]], saying that the [[Edict of Nikaea]] had forbidden [[Librarian]]s from using their powers. Redknife told Azkaellon that Stiel's power came from [[Fenris]], not the [[Warp]], and that was all the explanation they needed.{{Fn|2c}}

Azkaellon was present for the subsequent translation to the Signus Cluster, where a group of [[Word Bearers]] under [[Chaplain]] [[Tanus Kreed]] accompanied the Fleet. Azkaellon listened to strange background noise in [[vox]] transmissions, and dismissed it as merely a communications countermeasure.{{Fn|2d}} Upon reaching the bridge with his Primarch, he bore witness to the destruction of [[Phorus]]{{Fn|2e}} and subsequent meeting of the [[Council of Angels]], where Sanguinius ordered a scout team dispatched to [[Holst]] of Blood Angels and Word Bearers.{{Fn|2f}} However, the planet itself began attacking the Blood Angels, destroying the ''Paleknight''. Azkaellon then witnessed something he had never seen before: Sanguinius ordered Holst subjected to ''[[Exterminatus|exterminatus extremis]]'', destroying the whole of Holst. {{Fn|2g}} Azkaellon then debriefed the warriors who were present for the mission, along with First Captain Raldoron and [[Warden|High Warden]] [[Dahka Berus]], and was extremely skeptical of Apothecary Meros's tale.{{Fn|2h}} After the second mission to [[Scoltrum]] found survivors, Azkaellon was eager to know what they knew of the Nephilim, but Captain [[Dar Nakir]] said that they did not recognize them.{{Fn|2i}} As the Blood Angels fleet approached [[Signus Prime]], a psychic scream assailed the non-Astartes aboard the ship. Azkaellon was with Sanguinius and Raldoron when [[Kyriss]] the Perverse, the [[Keeper of Secrets]] who claimed rule of the Signus Cluster, greeted them.{{Fn|2j}}
