'''Ashok''' is a [[librarian]] in the [[Angels Sanguine]] and, like members of the [[Blood Angels]] and their [[Second Founding]] [[chapters]], suffers from the [[Black Rage]].
== History ==
He once served with his [[Chapter]] in a campaign against the [[Tyranid]]s on the planet [[Hegelian IX]]. At the time, he was deployed with the [[Death Company]] into the planet's catacombs in order to pursue the fleeing [[xenos]], where he and his comrades succumbed to the terrible effects of the Black Rage. This led to the company taking out their blood rage against one another; Ashok killed three of his fellow [[Space Marines]] before he managed to control his Rage. For the next three years, he became strapped to the [[Tablet of Lestrallio]] in his Chapter's [[Fortress Monastery]], where he faced his nightmares. After he emerged from this event, Ashok was presented with the [[Shroud of Lemartes]] as a symbol of his mastery of the Black Rage. He had successfully managed to deal with its affects, although he has to combat the signs.{{Fn|1}}
Following this chain of events, he became attached to the illustrious [[Deathwatch]], the [[Chamber Militant]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]], where he served under the command of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Quirion Octavius]]. Librarian Ashok was later deployed with his squad to serve under the command of [[Inquisitor]] [[Kalpysia]] in order to deal with a splinter Tyranid [[Hive Fleet]] on the planet [[Herodian IV]]. He is the only Librarian to take on three [[Tyranid]] [[Zoanthropes]] and live.{{Fn|1}}
