[[Image:Durun Atticus.jpeg|thumb|right|275px|Durun Atticus{{Fn|1b}}]]'''Durun Atticus''' was a [[Captain]] of the [[Iron Hands]] 111th Clan-Company and commander of the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Veritas Ferrum]]''. He was badly burned when a an energy weapon salvo had struck the bridge of the ''Veritas Ferrum''. Most of his body was then replaced with [[augmetic]]s, but for some unknown reason he kept his organic left eye.{{Fn|11a}} The ''Veritas'' was part of the second wave of Iron Hands vessels to arrive at the void battle above [[Isstvan V]] during the [[Dropsite Massacre]]. En route to Isstvan, Atticus had jested to his crew that [[Ferrus Manus]] would put down Horus' rebellion so quickly he feared they would arrive too late to participate. Upon arriving, they found the battle was indeed nearly over, but in the traitor's favor. The ''Veritas'' managed to destroy the Alpha Legion cruiser ''[[Theta]]'' with a heavy bombardment and lured a Night Lords cruiser into the debris, but were heavily outnumbered and needed to retreat. Fragmentary reports of the death of Ferrus Manus reached the ''Veritas'', but Atticus doubted their authenticity. As the ''Veritas'' prepared to depart, Sergeant [[Khi'dem]] of the [[Salamanders]] requested Atticus rescue his two [[Thunderhawk]]s which had escaped the planet-side massacre. Reluctently, Atticus retrieved the survivors but suffered more damage, making the jump to the [[Warp]] with a compromised hull.{{Fn|2}}
