→History
When the forces of the [[Ork Warboss]] [[Killzkar]] invaded and conquered the mining planet of [[Dulma'lin]], Marbo and the rest of the Catachan II were tasked with sabotaging the Ork war effort. After the main army comprised of [[Selvian Dragoons]] were slaughtered en route to the planetary capital, the Catachan's leader, '''Colonel "Iron Hand"''' [[Straken]], began a solar months-long war of sabotage and guerrilla warfare. Marbo himself was hand-picked by the Colonel to infiltrate a group of deranged cultists, survivors of the Ork assault who had begun to worship them as gods. Marbo slaughtered any in his path, learned the enemies plans and opened the way for a Catachan assault. In battle against the Orks, Marbo would often appear out of nowhere, slaying xenos at the most critical of moments. Gun emplacements, [[Ork Nobz]], all would be attacked and slain before they could even fully react. When Killzkar was finally defeated by Straken, it was Marbo who carried the Colonel's broken body from the field of battle, even as the city around them was destroyed.{{Fn|4}}
During the [[Third War for Armageddon]], Sly Marbo once more waged his own a one-man war against the Orks. Usually, groups of a dozen or so elite [[Assassins]] were required to venture into [[Armageddon]]’s industrial wastelands - enough warriors to complete whatever mission command had for them, but sometimes, a lone warrior would be dispatched - one with enough skill and experience to triumph in battle against entire enemy kill teams.
On [[Nordassa]], Marbo destroyed a mighty [[Banelord Titan]], how he managed to achieve such a feat is a mystery, as the details of his mission were later placed under seal, with even the report in his personnel file becoming classified.{{Fn|8}}
