'''Vadhán{{PAGENAME}}'''{{Fn|1a}} is a [[Primaris Space Marine]]{{Fn|1b}} of the [[Emperor's Spears]] Third [[Space Marine Company|Warhost]], who was formally [[Lieutenant (Space Marine)| Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amadeus Kaias Incarius]], of the [[Mentors]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
As Incarius joined the hunt for the traitorous Helot, he ordered Anuradha to return to her room for her safety. However, Kartash later went to Anuradha's room to ask her to aid him in escaping from the Hex, in return for promising to free her from being a Helot. As he talked to her, though, Anuradha was both able to signal Incarius and use the [[Vortex Grenade|Void Grenade]] she had secretly armed herself with. When Incarius and Brêac soon arrived, they saw that Kartash was in fact a shape-shifting [[Callidus Assassin]], who trying to escape the Warp rift the Void Grenade had created. The two Space Marines would not given him that chance though and launched an attack that killed Kartash by cutting his body in half{{Fn|1d}}. Afterwards, the Spears began a coverup that would ensure the Mentors and the Inquisition never learned that Dubaku had been killed by their assassin. To add a finishing detail to their plan, the Hex then traveled to the Straits of Epona and shot an emergency beacon pod into it. The pod contained a message, stating that the Spears had found the wreckage of the Sword Frigate In Devout Abjuration, with no survivors aboard it. They did, however, discover evidence that the Inquisition had plotted to continue their vendetta against the Lions, by interfering with the Chapters protecting Elara's Veil. Because of this, the Spears swore that any Imperial ship entering the Veil, bearing the symbols of the Mentors or Inquisition would be immediately destroyed on sight. With that done, Incarius and Anuradha willingly cast off the colors of their old Chapter and were welcomed by Brêac into the Spear's Third Warhost. The former Lieutenant Commander, would soon embrace the Spear's culture, but before that began Anuradha suggested a new name for him, translated from Brêac's '''Vargantes''' tribal dialect. When he heard it, Incarius readily accepted it and with that, he became known as '''Vadhán''' or in [[Low Gothic]], '''False Scorpion'''.{{Fn|1a}}
