wrong source and removal of his survival
==History==
Acheran was originally an officer serving under [[Cato Sicarius]] in the 2nd Company. However, he became the Captain of the Company after Sicarius was lost to the [[Warp]] early in the [[Indomitus Crusade]], due to the formation of the [[Great Rift]].{{Fn|2}} One of his notable actions was leading the attack on the [[Black Legion]] held world of [[Nemendghast]], during the [[War of Beasts]]. Despite being badly outnumbered by the [[Black Legion]] forces during the [[Nemendghast Raid]], Acheran refused to leave and instead ordered an attack to destroy the world's Daemonic factories. The orbiting [[Chaos]] fleet soon became alerted to Acheran's attack and as it began moving to aid Nemendghast, the crew of the Captain's [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Carpatia]]'' warned Acheran of the fleet. The Captain then immediately led the remnants of his forces in a final attack that destroyed the Daemon factories, but by then they were swarmed by the Black Legion. Acheran knew they could not break free from the Traitors and instead ordered the [[Vanguard Librarian]] [[Maltis]], to escape and bring word of what had happened to [[Chapter Master]] [[Calgar]]. Maltis successfully returned to the ''Carpatia'', which then escaped to [[Vigilus]].{{Fn|32}} He would survive though and later took part in the defense of the [[Realm of Ultramar]]Whether Acheran survived or not, when it was [[Plague Wars|invaded]] by the forces of [[Nurgle]] and led the Second Company to many victories over their foes. However, in the later years of the invasion, Sicarius was among the [[Imperium]] forces that arrived with [[Lord Commander]] [[Guilliman]] to aid Ultramar and it his current status is not known if Acheran will keep his rankunknown.{{Fn|2}}
