Originally born '''Zael Effernetti''' in the [[Hive City]] [[Petropolis]] on [[Eustis Majoris]], Zael was once just a boy - about 14 years old and addicted to [[flect]]s.{{Fn|1a}} He was discovered and brought under the wing of famed [[Ordo Xenos]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Gideon Ravenor]] during an investigation to uncover the source of the flects.{{Cite this}}
In the wake of Ravenor's investigation, Zael was taken along for being able to "hear" the telepathic communication between Ravenor and [[Harlon Nayl|Nayl]]. He was initially found to be a psychic "mirror," thought to have no true psychic capabilities of his own. As well as his precognitive abilities, he was able to use the psychic powers of others in his vicinity, but not for an extended period of time.{{Cite this}}
Following Ravenor's submission to the Ordos for Inquisitorial Review, Zael was taken by Inquisitor [[Lilith Abfequarn]].{{Fn|2}} She realized his potential and handed Zael over to the Grey Knights for testing. His memory has since been wiped, and he remembers almost nothing of his past life.{{Fn|3}}
Later, Hyperion would inadvertently land himself in a central role during the cold war between the [[Inquisition]] and Space Wolves, later known as the [[Months of Shame]]. Reluctantly but obediently taking part in the Ordo Malleus' purges of the population of [[Armageddon]] following the war in order to erase all knowledge and the taint of [[Chaos]], Hyperion witnessed the death of Grand Master Joros due to [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Ghesmei Kysnaros]]' mismanagement and underestimation of the Wolves. He later took part in the conflict's climax over [[Fenris]], when the entire fleet of the [[Red Hunters]] as well as Inquisitorial and Grey Knights warships besieged the planet. Hyperion, Annika, and Kysnaros attempted to try and negotiate an end to the conflict with [[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]], but Bjorn had rebuffed Kysnaros' offer of a peaceful resolution to the conflict, at the price of full submission and a penitent crusade.{{Fn|1b}}
Hyperion and his remaining Battle-Brothers then fought on the [[Battleship]] ''Corel's Hope'' against Space Wolves [[Terminator]]s led by [[Logan Grimnar]] himself. The timely intervention of Bjorn ended the conflict, on the condition that Hyperion go to [[The Fang]] and tell of his order to the Space Wolves, for they would never forget the Grey Knights as an enemy. Hyperion agreed, and traveled travelled down to The Fang once more to tell of his Brotherhood.{{Fn|1b}} After the end of the war, though banished from the surface of Fenris, Hyperion, in orbit, used his psychic powers to witness the ritual of Bjorn being returned to slumber.{{Fn|1d}}
Fifty-five years after the [[First War for Armageddon|battle on Armageddon]], Hyperion would become a prognosticar, and like [[Torcrith]] before him, he would be the only surviving prognosticar at the time.{{Fn|1e}} By the formation of the [[Great Rift]] and Angron's return to the mortal realm, Hyperion was commander of the [[Augurium]] of Titan.{{Fn|5}}
