Teus
Teus was a human aspirant of a Space Marine Chapter.[1c]
Teus was born on Baal Secundus, the son of Uigui the water seller.[1a][1c] He attempted to become an aspirant of the Blood Angels, journeying to Angel's Fall to undertake the challenges. He initially showed promise, as he was genetically compatable with the Chapter's gene-seed. However, during the trials, he fell and sustained a brain injury.[1c] He was rejected and sent home with brain damage; as a result, his father often abused him and referred to him as an "idiot".[1a]
Two years later[1c], Teus and his father were amongst the civilians drafted by the Blood Angels to defend the chapter's fortress-monastery on Baal against the invading tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan.[1b] In the aftermath, as Uigui lay dying from contamination caused by a tyranid parasite organism, Teus was approached by a Sanguinary Priest. Due to the losses the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters suffered, all genetically-compatable Baalite youths were being inducted into the Chapters of the Blood. The Priest determined that Teus's brain injury was repairable and, as he was still suitable for implantation, he was recruited.[1c]
Notes
- It is not stated in The Devastation of Baal which Chapter Teus was recruited into.
