'''Temel''' was a [[Flesh Tearers]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] and was among its forces, that [[Chapter Master]] [[Gabriel Seth]] led to the aid of the [[Imperial]] world [[Nekkaris]], in late [[M41]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
This was after the [[Demagogue]] [[Gylon]] began a [[Chaos Cult]] uprising, with the assistance of the [[Chaos Lord]] [[Da'ka Jumoke]]'s [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]. They had seized [[Nekkaris]]' capital and in order to end the rebellion, the [[Flesh Tearers]] began advancing upon it with the besieged world's military forces. However before the [[Imperial]]s could reach the capital, the Cult and Warband launched a continuous artillery barrage from armored armoured vehicles, which stopped the advance cold. Even with the Flesh Tearers' might, they would not be able to survive the Chaos forces' rate of fire and so [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] Temel was selected to lead a group of [[Scout]]s to destroy the artillery in a set time limit. Doing so, would then allow the Imperials to reach the capital and end the rebellion. The [[Scout Sergeant]]s [[Cophi]], [[Eschiros]] and [[Viritiel]] aided him in the dangerous mission and they left the main force behind, as they began advancing into [[Chaos]] held territory. They would suffer losses along the way, but Temel always ordered the Scouts to advance, in order to complete their mission on time. Those Scouts too wounded to continue were left behind with [[Locator Beacon]]s, so they could be found after the mission was over. Those who died, however, had their tongues' cut off and collected by Sergeants, for safe keeping. This was a tradition from the [[Flesh Tearers]]' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]] [[Cretacia]], that the [[Chapter]]'s Scouts practiced and which claimed doing so would prevent the dead from betraying the survivors to the enemy.{{Fn|1}}
It was on the third day of their mission, that Temel and the [[Scout]]s finally reach the [[Chaos]] artillery. They would split up to ensure all the vehicles were planted with bombs and [[Scout Sergeant]] [[Cophi]]'s squadron aided the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]. As he began stealthy planting explosives, the Scouts guided Temel on their comm links, so that he avoid the patrolling Chaos forces. One such group, prevented Temel from reaching the final vehicles in his area. As the rest of the Scouts elsewhere would soon set of their explosives, Temel knew he was out of time and broke cover to finish his mission. While Cophi was able to destroy the Chaos group that confronted the Captain, this alerted the other forces to their position and they were attacked. Temel meanwhile, was able to finish planting the explosives, but knew he would not be able to reach safety before the rest of the Scouts would activate their bombs. Sergeant Cophi held his group's activator and Temel told him to do so, even though the Captain was still close to the artillery vehicles.{{Fn|1}}
