[[Image:Fethius.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Lord Felthius]]
'''Felthius''' is a [[Death Guard]] [[Lord of Contagion]] and commands the [[Tainted CohortSons]] Warband. His origins are clouded in mystery, but the Death Guard in his Warband claim, Felthius was once a slave that was dropped in the noxious pits of the [[Plague Planet]]. Most who suffer such a fate experience horrid deaths, but Felthius thrived and eventually earned the right to join the ranks of the Death Guard. No one but he knows if this is true, but since his rise hundreds of years ago, Felthius has become a powerful and effective commander. He has led the Tainted Sons to victory over the armies of dozens of Imperial worlds and has a captured an [[Emperor's Spears]] [[Strike Cruiser]], which has become his flagship [[Rotbringer]]. In battles, Felthius can be found where the fighting is the thickest, and each of his victories bring him one step closer to becoming a [[Daemon Prince]].{{Fn|1a}} Since the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, Felthius has taken part in the [[Plague Wars]] and now resides in the [[Scourge Stars]], where he and the Tainted Sons continue to strike at the [[Realm of Ultramar]]{{Fn|1a}}. Currently his forces are invading the Imperium world [[Korvon II]], whose defenders have been no match for the Warband. However this soon changed when the [[Ultramarines]] Strike Cruiser [[Honour of Ultramar]] came to the world's aid. In order to prevent them from aiding Korvon II, Felthius had the Rotbringer ambush the Ultramar and then had his Warband board the Cruiser. The Ultramarines fought fiercely to save their Cruiser though and the Tainted Sons began to lose their grip on the Ultramar. In order to prevent their defeat, Felthius teleported aboard the Ultramar and rallied the Tainted Sons to him. The Lord of Contagion soon clashed with the Ultramarines' commander, [[Lieutenant (Space Marine)|Lieutenant]] [[Calsius]]{{Fn|1b}}, but he was forced to retreat after the Tainted Sons were pushed further back and the Ultramar began to pull away from the Rotbringer{{Fn|2}}. Now that the Ultramarines have deployed to Korvon II, Felthius waits for word of Calsius' location, as he has become keen on personally killing the Lieutenant.{{Fn|13}}
