'''Marius Vairosean''' was the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the 3rd Company of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Space Marine Legion]].{{fn|4a}} Particularly straight-laced and unemotional, Marius's quest for perfection would lead him down a notable path of corruption, the [[Slaanesh|Slaaneshi]] influence on his Legion and the abominable medical experimentation practiced by [[Fabius Bile]] resulting in his becoming the first [[Noise Marine]].{{fn|4h}}

====Third Captain====

A stern, older warrior with salt-and-pepper hair, dark skin and narrow features, Marius often appeared at best expressionless, but more regularly disapproving. Fully immersed in the martial philosophy of his Legion, he expected the best performance possible at all times from all of those in 3rd Company, not least himself. The possibility of not being the best he could be at anything he tried to do made Marius feel physically sick, and as a result he strove for perfection constantly. Marius's exacting nature was particularly notable when applied to the preparation of battle-plans, with his love of preparatory paperwork leading First Captain [[Julius Kaesoron]] to quip that Marius would surely be better suited as a member of the [[Ultramarines]] (Marius chose to take the remark as a compliment).{{fn|4b}}
