'''Trask''' was a [[Lexicanium]] in the [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], who took part in the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
He took part fought in the [[Horus Heresy]]'s [[Battle of Tallarn]] and was part of the [[Imperial]] reinforcements, that broke through the blockade the [[Traitors]] had around the besieged world. Their efforts to deploy on [[Tallarn]] were spearheaded by the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Drop Pods]] and the [[Space Marines]] would then secure a dropsite for the additional reinforcements to land upon. Once the Ultramarines emerged from their Drop Pods, they were greeted by the [[Legio Astorum]] [[Princeps]] [[Marnoc]], whose [[Warlord Titan]] [[Fortunata Imperiatrix]]{{Fn|1b}} had escaped from the failed defense of '''Rogsburg''', which had fallen to the Traitors.{{Fn|1a}} The Princeps believed the city could be retaken with the aid of the reinforcements, but before the Ultramarines could secure a dropsite they were attacked by a group of [[Legio Mortis]] [[Chaos Titan]]s.{{Fn|1b}}
It was only due to the intervention of the [[Fortunata Imperiatrix]], that not all of the [[Ultramarines]] were killed and thanks to [[Marnoc]]'s efforts the reinforcements were able to land.{{Fn|1b}} Trask and the Ultramarines then moved to retake ''Rogsburg'' with the aid of [[Imperial Titan]]s. However the city was held by the [[Thousand Sons]], who were able to repel several of the [[Imperial]] forces' attacks. In their next attempt, the Imperials sought to seize Rogsburg's '''Bromium Refinery''' and the [[Lexicanium]] joined their efforts to do so. As they advanced towards the Thousand Sons' battle lines, Trask was envious that the [[Assault Marine]] [[Kane (Assault Marine)|Kane]] would be able to reach the [[Traitors]] in the Refinery first, due to his [[Jump pack]]. However as the Lexicanum finally neared the Thousand Sons' forces, he began to wonder if this was the Traitors' last stand for the Refinery or if the Ultramarines were entering a trap. However despite his concerns,{{Fn|2}} Rogsburg was retaken by the Imperials and afterwards, Trask oversaw the ceremony that denounced their slain foes and burned their banners. During the ceremony, though, the [[Legio Astorum]] [[Princeps]] [[Kurtz (Princeps)|Kurtz]] spat on one of the enemy banners that was being burned. While the Ultramarines that had placed it in the fire remarked that Kurtz was being disrespectful, the [[Lexicanium]] said nothing and continued speaking. Kurtz meanwhile ignored them all and left the ceremony.{{Fn|1b}}
