'''{{PAGENAME}}Astrovel''' was the Fourth [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s Seventh Order, during the [[Horus Heresy]]. In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Perditus]], he was assigned by his [[Primarch]] [[Lion El'Jonson]] to a strike force, led by Seneschal [[Corswain]], that was charged with both hunting down the fleeing [[Death Guard]] forces of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Typhus]] and to bring word of the battle to the [[Space Wolves]] Legion's [[Primarch]] [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]]. However , after many months, the strike force could not find any trace of Leman Russ , and as for Typhus, they found only worlds that were left in disarray or that had been destroyed by his touch. During one of the many war councils between the strike force's commanders, unrest began to show about their lack of progress and {{PAGENAME}} Astrovel voiced that they should instead return to [[Caliban]] and increase its defenses. After much arguing though, it was finally decided that the strike force would be split off by Orders; , each with their own goals to pursue. Corswain would go with Chapter Master [[Belath]]'s Second Order to continue pursuing Typhus, while the other Orders would travel to nearby [[System]]s, to search for the Primarch Leman Russ and to attack any Traitors they came across.{{Fn|1}}
