With his body rebuilt by the efforts of [[Forge Master]] [[Mac Zi Ven]], Captain Avincus returned to the field almost immediately, slaying the Dagon Overlord when it appeared on the world of Zurev’s Rest a year later. In spite of having slain the beast, its continued presence in the Jericho Reach haunts him, and he loathes it with a passion. Avincus is an embittered veteran of countless wars who has had both his homes ravaged by the Great Devourer, and lost much more besides. Even with extensive bionic replacement, he still feels the pain of his crippling injuries, and the only thing that keeps him going in spite of all he has suffered is his hatred for the Tyranids. He regards the war against Hive Fleet Dagon to be the last one he will fight, and he has bent every fibre of his being to crushing the Tyranid threat. His bionics include a Master-Crafted bionic left arm,bionic heart,bionic respiratory system, and bionic locomotion.{{Fn|1}}

At present, Avincus remains mobile, employing his chosen ship—the Nova-class Frigate Hallowed Sword—as a mobile command centre from which he directs the Kill-teams under his auspices, leading on the ground as frequently as the opportunity allows. His presence has been instrumental in dozens of missions against the Tyranids, but it has been costly as well. During the battle for [[Trimalov Hive]] on [[Castobel]], Avincus confronted the infamous [[Dagon Overlord]], suffering grievous injuries at the talons of that terrifying creature, which left him crippled and forced him into a coma from which he did not wake for eleven months.{{Fn|1}}
