'''Solun Decius''' was a member of the [[Death Guard]] [[legionChaos Space Marine]]. He was on board the frigate [[EisensteinLegion]] when [[Space_Marine_Captain|battle-captain]] [[Nathaniel Garro]] took command and fled the [[Isstvan system]], in an attempt to bring the [[Emperor]] a message of [[Horus]]' treachery.
Despite missing Decius was the youngest member of [[Space_Marine_Captain|Battle-Captain]] [[Nathaniel Garro]]'s command squad, and had a hard and determined edge to him that seemed out of place on such a young countenance. Nevertheless, his eyes were bright and he was often awash with excitement at the original battle possibility of earning glory for his [[Primarch]]. Decius favoured quickly closing to engage hand-to-hand with the enemy, instead of the customary Death Guard habit of a methodical gunline assault. His weapon of choice was a [[Ignatius GrulgorPower Fist|power fist]] ; he was particularly adept with the brutal weapon. Decius was loyal to Garro, and did not join the warrior-lodge that existed inside the Death Guard as a result of Garro's expressing his disapproval of the lodge. Decius's life was saved by Battle-Captain Garro on [[Isstvan Extremis]], when Garro pushed him out of the path of the attack of a [[Warsinger]]. Decius and the gun deckbadly-wounded Garro then fought back to back amidst a swarm of enemies until the conclusion of the battle. As a member of Garro's command squad, Decius was fated to be aboard the frigate ''[[Eisenstein]]'' when Garro took control of the vessel and fled the [[Isstvan III|Isstvan system]] in an attempt to bring the [[Emperor]] a message of [[Horus]]' treachery. During the flight of the ''Eisenstein'' Solun took part in what was possibly the first battle with the newly reanimated bodies of his former brethren, who were now against [[Plague Marine]]s. Despite killing a great number of his reanimated, traitorous former crewmancomrades, Solun was finally laid low by Grulgor's an attack from a [[Plague Knife|plague knife]]. In a final act of defiance Solun cut off his own arm in a vain attempt to halt the rampant infection attacking his body, a disease now known as [[Nurgle's Rot]]. After his injury Solun was confided to an isolation bay while [[apothecaryApothecary]] Voyen tried to find a cure for his ailments. Even on transfer to [[Rogal Dorn]]'s flagship, the [[Phalanx]], No no cure could be found.
Later, after completing their journey to [[Terra]], Solun and his fellow Death Guard loyalists were held in a fortress of the [[Sisters of Silence|Silent Sisterhood]]. Here Solun finally gave in to the power of [[Nurgle]] allowing his corrupted body to be mutated in to a [[daemon|daemonic]] entity, known as the Lord of the Flies. In this state Solun killed two of his brother marines who were standing vigil over his prone form, until his now inevitable death. Later after killing many of the other people in the sisterhoods care, Solun was finally slain on the surface of [[Luna]] by Captain Nathaniel Garro, his former captain and mentor.
