'''Ortan Cassius''' is [[Master of Sanctity]] of the [[Ultramarines]].
===Biography===
Cassius was inducted into the [[Chaplaincy]] very early into his career. Despite his relative inexperience, many [[Battle-Brothers]] were inspired by his righteous hatred for the enemies of [[Human|mankind]], although some of the Chapter's seasoned veterans considered him somewhat reckless and overly aggressive.{{Fn|10}}
Since the opening of the [[Great Rift]] and the fury of the [[Plague Wars]], much of the Ultramarines strength has been dedicated to battling the forces of [[Chaos]]. However Cassius remains focused on the Tyranid threat.{{Fn|9}}
===Wargear===
Cassius carries the standard equipment of all Space Marine [[Chaplain]]s, including the [[Crozius Arcanum]] (cast in the shape of a Tyranid skull) and [[Rosarius]]. Instead of the traditional [[Bolt pistol]], Cassius is armed with the [[Infernus]], a [[master-crafted]] [[Combi-Flamer]] which he forged and assembled himself{{Fn|2}}. He may also be equipped with [[Frag Grenades]], and carries [[Terminator Honours]], permitting him to wear [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]] as needed.
