Zeno Petricias
Zeno Petricias is the Silver Templars' current Third Captain.[1]
Petricias was the first born from the Chapter's Homeworld, Novaris, to attain the rank of Captain. He is a swordsman of excellent skill, said to be superior even to that of his Chapter Master. In addition to his martial skill he is a tactical mastermind, locating weaknesses in the enemy line and launching audacious attacks on overwhelming numbers of enemies. He carries the Power Sword Animus, a relic weapon forged by his own hands and studded with Novarian gemstomes. The blade is delicately inscribed with the motto of the Silver Templars, 'Focus and Fury'.[1]
During the Siege of Talasa Secundus, Captain Petricias ignored the orders of Novamarines 5th Company Captain Lobos to slay a Death Guard Lord of Contagion. While slaying the Death Guard Lord faltered the enemy assault, half of the Novamarines force was slain by the rash move. This resulted in a tense argument between Petricias and Lobos and resentment between the two Chapters lingers to this day.[1a]
