'''Lucian Trajan''' was a former [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Chapter]]'s [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd Company]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
He served as its [[First Sergeant]], when the [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd]] was led by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Severus Agemman]], during the [[First Tyrannic War]]. However the [[Space Marine Company|Company]] was fighting elsewhere, when the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], [[Macragge]], was invaded by [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. Though the 2nd raced to aid their [[Chapter]], they arrived after victory had been achieved at Macragge and the Company instead joined the [[Imperial]] reinforcements that helped in scouring [[Ultramar]]'s worlds of the [[Hive Fleet]]'s presence. As this occurred, the Ultramarines began to rebuild their devastated Chapter and Agemman was made the Captain of the [[1st Company (Ultramarines)|1st Company]]. Trajan would then become the 2nd's Captain and [[Demetrian Titus]] became the [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergent]] of his [[Space Marine Command Squad|Command Squad]]. The 2nd would then continue to aid in the effort to purge Ultramar of Hive Fleet Behemoth's remnants.{{Fn|1}}
For a century afterwards, Trajan and [[Demetrian Titus|Titus]] not only fought together, but also flourished under the tutelage they received from [[First Captain]] [[Severus Agemman]]. However this ended, when the [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd Company]] was sent to aid the besieged [[Imperial]] world [[Beta-Arcturus]]. It had been invaded by the [[Asuryani]] forces of [[Craftworld]] [[Biel-Tan]] and once the 2nd arrived, Trajan led a [[Space Marine Company|Demi-Company]] against the [[Xenos]]' [[Autarch]] leader. The Captain then killed the Autarch in single combat, as Titus and his [[Space Marine Command Squad|Command Squad]] kept the Xenos leader's [[Aspect Warrior]] bodyguards at bay. Their Autarch's death caused Biel-Tan's surviving forces to retreat, but as they did so the Xenos captured the [[Ultramarine]] [[Leandros]]. This led Trajan to give command of the Company to Titus, so that he could lead a combat squad to free the young warrior. Leandros was merely bait to lure the Captain into a trap, though, and Trajan's squad was ambushed by Biel-Tan's hidden reserve forces. The Captain was then surrounded by the Xenos and mercilessly killed. After learning of this, Titus was able to lead the 2nd in an attack that finally drove off the Xenos from Beta-Arcturus and Leandros and Trajan's body were recovered.{{Fn|1}}
Upon the [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd Company]]'s return to [[Macragge]], Trajan was placed in a grand sepulchre within the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Fortress of Hera]]. Its [[Chapter Master]], [[Marneus Calgar]], then decided to make [[Demetrian Titus|Titus]] the 2nd's new [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]. While some of his [[Battle Brothers]] had thought it was a rank he was suited for, Titus had never sought to rise to such heights. He had been content with his position as [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] and had only wished to serve Trajan and the [[Emperor]] in whatever way was asked of him. While Titus accepted becoming the 2nd Company's Captain,{{Fn|1}} he felt the weight of taking over his predecessor's mantle.{{Fn|2}}
