==History as a Grey Knight==
After his [[gene-seed|genetic modifications]], mind-wiping, and rigorous training to become a member of the Grey Knights, Zael, now renamed Hyperion, was made a member of a [[Squad Castian]], an [[Grey Knight Interceptor Squad|Interceptor Squad]] led by [[Justicar]] [[Galeo (Grey Knight)|Galeo]] of the Grey Knights 8th Brotherhood under [[Grey Knights Grand Master|Grand Master]] [[Joros]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1f}} Hyperion was set apart from his brothers by his psychic potential and control, as well as being impulsive to the point of recklessness, which proved to be both a boon and a hindrance. While he served in Squad Castian, Hyperion wielded a [[Nemesis Force Weapon#Nemesis Warding Stave|Nemesis stave]] embellished with a human skull: the last remains of the original Justicar Castian.{{Fn|1e}} Hyperion's raw psychic potential had him earmarked as a potential [[Prognosticar]], though ultimately his recklessness and lack of self-control had barred his entry into the Augurium.{{Fn|1c}}
Having a literal "baptism of fire", Hyperion's first major combat in the Grey Knights was the [[First War for Armageddon]] against the [[Daemon|daemonic]] and [[World Eater]] hordes of [[Angron]]. Before the battle, certain he would die, he asked his traveling companion [[Inquisitor]] [[Annika Jarlsdottyr]] of his origins, and was able to learn of his early past.{{Fn|1a}}
