'''Drusus''' was a [[Lord General Militant]] of the [[Imperial Guard]] in early [[M39]].{{Fn|1}}
Initially a subordinate to Lord Militant [[Golgenna Angevin]] in the [[Angevin Crusade]], after the mental breakdown of Angevin, Drusus would take ''de facto'' command of the waning crusade against the [[Yu'vath]] and their allies. Gaining the favour of the [[High Lords of Terra]], rival generals attempted to kill the rising star with assassins. Though supposedly slain, Drusus was seemingly resurrected as a [[Living Saint]], leading many to believe that he held the [[Emperor]]'s favour. As a result, Drusus was given full formal command of the Crusade and led a massive offensive that saw the final destruction of the Yu'Vath. Drusus remains a hailed hero across the [[Calixis Sector]] to this day, as attested by the preservation of the [[Tablets of Drusian Wisdom]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
