'''Solomon Demeter''' was the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[2nd Company (Emperor's Children)|2nd Company]] of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Space Marine Legion]]. Demeter was somewhat atypical for an officer of the Emperor's Children, being possessed of a streak of individualism and recklessness that made him stand out from his peers. During the dark days of the corruption of the legion, his individual nature, along with a twist of fortune, led to him becoming virtually the only senior officer of the legion not to succumb to the temptations of [[Slaanesh]].
The very image of a Space Marine in appearance, Demeter's dark hair was shorn close to his scalp and his skin was tanned from the light of the several suns he had fought under. He was expressionate, with heavily animated features well-spaced across his face.{{Fn|1a}}
However, weakened in spirit as well as body, his self-belief and good fortune ran out when he was eventually betrayed and killed by the turncoat Captain Lucius, after being tricked into helping the swordsman slay loyalist marines. Despairing of his acts and of the fate of the future, Solomon Demeter died in the Precentor's Palace on Isstvan III.{{Cite this}}
