'''Ortan Cassius''' is [[Master of Sanctity]] of the [[Ultramarines]].
==History==At almost four hundred years old, Cassius is the oldest member of the Ultramarines [[Chapter]] (excluding those interred inside [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]s). He has perfected his oratory skills to allow the Ultramarines to be carried across hundreds of worlds by his command alone.{{Fn|2}}   ==Biography==Cassius was inducted into the [[Chaplaincy]] very early into his career. Despite his relative inexperience, many [[Battle-Brothers]] were inspired by his righteous hatred for the enemies of [[Human|mankind]], although some of the Chapter's seasoned veterans considered him somewhat reckless and overly aggressive.{{Fn|10}} Sometime before the [[Tyrannic Wars]], Cassius joined the [[Deathwatch]] for a time and helped purge [[Genestealer Cult]]s on [[Ghosar Quintus]], the Imperium's first major encounter with such [[xenos]] cabals.{{Fn|7}}
During the [[Battle for Macragge]], Cassius fought by the side of [[Chapter Master]] [[Marneus Calgar]], to repel [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. During the last stages of the Battle, he accompanied the relief force that rushed to the polar fortresses to relieve the embattled [[First Company]], though it was already too late for these veterans. Few members of Cassius's unit survived the brutal close-quarters combat that followed, and Cassius himself was incapacitated by a rampaging [[Carnifex]]. He survived by only the slimmest of margins, clinging to life until the [[Apothecaries]] could tend to his ruined body, which was extensively rebuilt with [[bionic]] parts.{{Fn|2}} Scarcely a centimetre of his remaining organic flesh is free of scars, and while his voice has lost none of its fervour, his bionic components can never fully compensate for the rents torn in his throat.{{Fn|5}}
