==History==
In the evacuation of Sotha, Sebastion was stationed aboard the [[Cruiser]] ''[[Nova Prospectum]]''. The ship was thrown off-course by the [[Shadow in the Warp]], but was eventually able to reach the Chapter's muster point in the [[Miral System]]. Indeed, the ''Nova Prospectum'' was in a considerably better state of repair than most of the Chapter's surviving fleet, thanks to Sebastion and his techmarines.{{Fn|1a}}
Sebastion was ordered by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Thracian (Scythes of the Emperor)|Thracian]], the acting [[Master of the Fleet]], to take the ''Nova Prospectum'' to retrieve the contents of a series of supply caches that the Scythes maintained across [[Sothara]].{{Fn|1a}} When the tyranids later attacked the Miral System as well, Thracian took a significant portion of the Chapter's fleet and, rather than using them to defend the system, took them to rendezvous with Sebastion and ensure the success of his mission.{{Fn|1b}} Afterwards, Thracian's and Sebastion's ships returned to the Miral System, their cargo holds loaded with rare weaponry and ordnance.{{Fn|1c}}
As Forge Master, it was Sebastion's responsibility to ensure that new recruits were trained as techmarines as the Chapter was rebuilt. He had identified [[Neophyte]] [[Narro]] as having a natural gift for practical problem solving, and had begun his early training shortly before the neophyte's death in the 21st Salvation Team, under [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Tiresias]].{{Fn|2}} He also accepted Neophyte [[Bokari]] for possible apprenticeship to the Forge after he delivered considerable amounts of power armour recovered from various [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleets]].{{Fn|3}}
Sebastion had an ongoing project, which was the restoration of damaged or lost [[Terminator armour]]. After the fall of Sotha, the Scythes were apparently left with only three such suits, and Sebastion's acquisition of a fourth partial suit was a major leap forwards in putting together a Codex-approved squad.{{Fn|3}}
He wore a full [[Servo-harness]], and was equipped with a bulky [[Bionic|ocular array]].{{Fn|3}}
