Changes

As a full battle-brother, Artemis quickly distinguished himself and showed great talent in the art of [[xenos]] slaying. Such were his skills that he became recognized by the [[Ordo Xenos]], which asked to recruit him into the Deathwatch. Artemis accepted the call and served first under [[Inquisitor]] [[Severnius]] against [[Genestealer]] cults on the [[Missionary World]] of [[St. Capilene]], helping save the planet from falling under [[Tyranid]] domination. Inquisitor Severnius praised Artemis, promoting him as second-in-command of his kill-team. For two decades he fought alongside Severnius, rooting out alien corruption wherever it may be found. On [[Varnix Prime]], he thwarted a [[Hrud]] attempt to capture an [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] base and while on the [[Agri-World]] of [[Tarrenhorst]] he and Severnius discovered an infestation of [[Warp]] entities that enslaved entire populations psychically.{{Fn|1}}

It was against these new foes that Artemis and Severnius encountered one of their most daunting challenges. The creatures began attempting to psychically dominate the Kill-Team and bend them to their will. Though Severnius was able to physically shield most of the Kill-Team, three Space Marines fell under the aliens' control and turned their [[Bolter]]s on their brethren. A further two Space Marines were cut down by gunfire, but Artemis persevered and hacked down one of his erstwhile allies as the Kill-Team formed a defensive circle, assailed by hordes of alien-dominated victims. Artemis, Severnius, and the two remaining Space Marines fought viciously and were able to barricade themselves in a small temple dedicated to the [[Emperor]]. Severnius by this point was exhausted by having to maintain his psychic shield while the three Space Marines desperately held off enemy attacks. For six days this situation continued until the Kill-Team was able to finally contact [[Thunderhawk]] gunships and coordinate a rescue. But before the gunship could land, the weakened Servenius was killed by one of the enslaved Space Marines, and command of the Kill-Team now passed to Artemis. Once on their orbiting ship, Artemis declared [[Exterminatus]] and blasted the world with [[Cyclonic Torpedo]]es.{{Fn|1}}
