After the Horus Heresy, in the period known as the [[Age of Rebirth]], a great horde of [[Orks]] descended on the main continent of Talassar, [[Glaudor]], threatening to destroy cities there. Following the protocols of the newly approved ''[[Codex Astartes]]'', the [[Ultramarines]] made a series of rapid strikes and defeated the greenskins.{{Fn|6b}}{{Fn|8}}
[[Cato Sicarius]], former [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the Ultramarines' [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|Second Company]] and [[Master of the Watch]], was born to Talassari nobility, and was trained in the arts of war from a young age. His [[power sword]], the ''[[Talassarian Tempest Blade]]'', takes its name from his homeworld's frequent storms. Among Captain Sicarius's many honorific honourific titles is '''Grand Duke of Talassar'''.{{Fn|1}}
In 854999.[[M41]], the [[Daemon Prince]] [[M'kar]] personally led the onslaught against Talassar. [[Marneus Calgar]] brought the 1st Company of the [[Ultramarines]] to Talassar, determined to once again slay M'kar. After the great battle, Calgar was nearly defeated by M'kar but was saved by the arrival of the 2nd and 4th Companies of the Ultramarines, led by Captains Cato Sicarius and [[Uriel Ventris]], respectively. Ventris pronounced the mortal name of the Daemon Prince, and gave the [[Shard of Erebus]] to Calgar, who used it to stab M'kar in the throat. As a result, M'kar was destroyed once and for all.{{Fn|3c}}
