'''Artemis''' is a [[Space Marine]] of the [[Mortifactors]] [[Chapter|Space Marine Chapter]], currently serving with the [[Deathwatch]] as a [[Watch Captain]] of [[Talasa Prime]].{{Fn|6a}} He developed uncanny skills for detecting the slightest hint of xenos taint and destroying any alien influence he may find.{{Fn|1}}

A veteran of a hundred campaigns, Artemis was recruited into the Mortifactors from barbaric nomadic tribes living on the [[Feral World]] of [[Posul]] a century before joining the Deathwatch. As a youth, Artemis was one of the greatest warriors of his tribe and paved the floor of his father's lodge with the skeletons of his slain enemies. Gaining many enemies due to his reputation, Artemis was ambushed by fifty warriors from an enemy tribe. Succeeding in killing them all, he nonetheless took heavy wounds and was only saved by the [[Chaplain]]s of the Mortifactors. Recognized for his strength, he was healed by the Chapter's [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] and began the process of being transformed into a [[Space Marine]].{{Fn|1}}

As a full battle-brother, Artemis quickly distinguished himself and showed great talent in the art of [[xenos]] slaying. Such were his skills that he became recognized by the [[Ordo Xenos]], which asked to recruit him into the Deathwatch. Artemis accepted the call and served first under [[Inquisitor]] [[Severnius]] against [[Genestealer]] cults on the [[Missionary World]] of [[St. Capilene]], helping save the planet from falling under [[Tyranid]] domination. Inquisitor Severnius praised Artemis, promoting him as second-in-command of his kill-team. For two decades he fought alongside Severnius, rooting out alien corruption wherever it may be found. On [[Varnix Prime]], he thwarted a [[Hrud]] attempt to capture an [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] base and while on the [[Agri-World]] of [[Tarrenhorst]] he and Severnius discovered an infestation of [[Warp]] entities that enslaved entire populations psychically.{{Fn|1}}
