Theseon
Theseon is the Chief Librarian of the Brazen Minotaurs Chapter.[1]
Biography
When the Ork forces of Warlord Grakka invaded the Imperial Ice World of Karos, Theseon accompanied the Company of Captain Daed to aid it after the Imperial Guard Regiment previously sent was easily defeated by the world's harsh climate and the Orks (who were immune to it).[1]
Once on Karos the Company gathered information from Lieutenant Ariseth, who was his regiment's highest ranking officer still left alive, and Daed soon came up with a plan to attack Grakka's base, near several venting towers. The Warlord did not know, however, that the towers led to a series of abandoned bastions and the destruction of one would cause a series of explosions that would destroy the entire base and the Orks along with it. There was a problem, though: Daed's plan called for the Company to deploy by Thunderhawks near the Orks' base and then launch a direct attack on the venting tower that Grakka used as his command post - an attack the outnumbered Company would not be able to complete, as there was no doubt the tower would be heavily defended.[1]
Theseon was greatly troubled by this plan, as he knew that Grakka and Daed had clashed once before on Praxis, a battle in which the Warlord had left him severely wounded, and the Captain held a great hatred for the Warlord. The Chief Librarian worried that Daed was letting his hatred blind him to the risks of his plan and once he sensed an Ork Weirdboy in Grakka's forces, he suddenly knew the danger they faced. When the Company had met with Lieutenant Ariseth, the Guardsman told them of the trouble they had facing Grakka's forces, as it seemed like the Orks knew exactly what attacks they were planning - which the Weirdboy was undoubtedly the cause of. Theseon immediately told Daed of the Weirdboy and his concerns, but the Captain was undeterred and simply stated they needed to launch their attack sooner. Realising he could not dissuade Daed, Theson secretly told a small number of the Company of a new plan of attack he had devised, which he did not tell the Captain about.[1]
When their Thunderhawks neared the Ork base, Theseon surprised Daed when he gave the order for their Thunderhawk to attack the unguarded venting tower he sensed contained the Weirdboy, instead of landing near the heavily defended tower that contained Grakka. Once the Thunderhawk's attack collapsed the tower, it began an explosive chain reaction that completely destroyed Grakka and the majority of his forces. Afterwards, Daed angrily confronted the Chief Librarian for disobeying his orders; however, the Captain relented when Theseon told him it had been necessary, as Daed's anger had allowed the Weirdboy to easily read his mind and had compromised the attack plan he had devised. With the Warlord's death Theseon told Daed his scars dealt to him by Grakka could now heal, and the Captain agreed Theseon had done what was necessary. When the Brazen Minotaurs crushed what Orks still remained on Karos, Theseon told Daed of the embattled Sargassion Reach and they soon left to confront the Chaos Lord Gideous Krall and his warband, the Empyrion's Blight.[1]
