Commanded the 1st (Anointed) company under Obel Gar (and later Castor). Served valiantly until killed in close combat with Chapter Master Eos of the Tigers Argent. Risen as a Gal Vorbak. He doesn't have much persoanlity left, only his old combat skills - with some daemonic prowess added on the top. He has taken the place of the late Amarath as Castor's shieldbearer. Part of the Soulguard.

The deceased former Apostle of the 10th, Obel Gar, has made a surprise return:

The first of Castor's Gal Vorbak claims to BE Obel Gar. True or not? Hard to tell, but he seems to have most of Gar's memories intact. He also claims to have communed with Lorgar and forgiven Castor for his little 'trick'. If his claim is ture, then Obel Gar was posthumously elevated to daemonhood, which means the gods and/or Lorgar must have approved of his actions.

Part of the Soulguard.

Melkar is the Anointed Sergeant in charge of Castor's personal bodyguard, the Lifeguards. He's a veteran of the Great Crusade. Fought on Calth. Originally a spy for the Council, now he's loyal only to Castor. For a time he commanded the Bringer of Faith, but now he follows his master wherever he goes.

Hiram is the Chaplain of the 12th. He is a man of uncertain origins, having been brought to Sicarus as a result of a slave-raid during an early Black Crusade. Judging by his eye-colour and gene-markers he may be of Cadian stock. He made a life for himself as a self-taught preacher amongst the slave-labourers of Sicarus, eventually commanding the allegiance of tens of thousands of stone-workers. He came to the attention of the Word Bearers legion, and they chose to make him one of their own, despite Hiram being nearly an adult. It was believed that Hiram was already better indoctrinated to the Word than most recruits. He barely survived the accelerated implantation procedure. He went on to have a decent career as a battle-brother, but he was always one of those that would rise to chaplain-hood - or die trying. Hiram occasionally allows himself to be possessed by the Envoys of the Gods.

Arrioph is the chaplain of the 8th company. He's one of Castor's own, raised from the cradle to marine-hood so to speak, and promoted by the Apostle's Will and Word. Arrioph was bought as a slave from the fighting pits of Merioop, a Daemon World largely dedicated to Khorne, because Castor saw great potential in the boy. He has all the qualities Castor values in his marines - loyalty, zeal, martial prowess, and the ability to use tactics and discretion when the situation warrants it.

Cetus is the chaplain of the 9th. He's a veteran of the Long War, but not one of the original Crusaders. He's neither Terran, nor Colchisian, but was born on a long forgotten world in Segmentum Solar. That's how he escaped the purges, by being non-Terran. That, and the fact that he was clearly marked by the gods very early. His present from is heavily mutated, and borderline obese. He cannot wear any form of power armour, but instead goes around in his self-forged chaos plate armour, like some knight out of a feudal world. He also uses his forge-skills to craft talismans and sorcerous artefacts for his company, something which has endeared him to the men. Sadly his days are numbered. It won't be tomorrow, nor the day after, but someday soon Cetus will complete his descent into darkness and become a spawn of chaos.

Abiah is the dour and gaunt chaplain of the 11th company. His sermons are like a steady drone that bores into your soul; you know it doesn't make any sense, but still you can't stop listening. It is only when the voice falls silent you know you want more. Amongst the more outlandish claims ever is Abiah's insistence that he's a half-daemon. He goes on to claim his mother was impregnated by an Envoy of the Gods. Even in a galaxy of magic and chaos that's quite the tall tale. He is generally considered to be something of an oddball and many good brothers shun him. There is, however, a strange quality to his voice, like that of a daemon come to Earth.

Obad-Hai is the eccentric chaplain of the 7th company. His origin is lost in the red mists of time; he vaguely recalls great battles and bloody campaigns fought under alien skies, but cannot say for certain when or where. These days he tries to go light on the violence. It's not like his mind is broekn or anything; as far as the librarians and apothecaries can determine it's quite wholesome. It's just that there are too many memories, too many words, too much zeal (a problem common for many of the old guard). His heart, however, has room to spare: For the Word - and for the good life. He delights in fine meals, good drink, and pleasurable company (not just of the carnal variety). He catalogues and collects strange creatures and plants. With the coming of the Verbum his little hobby found new purpose, and now he tends to the great jungle on Verbum whenever he can (which includes releasing new life into the wilds).

Padus is the chaplain of the 13th company. He's a native Sicarian, though he lacks any appreciable amount of Colchisian blood. He is also relatively young, a mere two millennia. He has, however, been quite active during those years, fighting in a number of Word Bearer and non-WB warbands, both inside and outside of the Eye. He is called "the Dreamspeaker", because he never communicates verbally (it isn't know if he can't speak or simply won't speak). It is extremely rare for a Word Bearer, and especially a chaplain, not to speak - all the time. Instead he addresses his company through dreams and visions - or brute telepathy (which would seem to indicate that he's a psyker or sorcerer of some sort).

Acharon is the chaplain of the 17th. He's an ancient Word Bearer chaplain, with roots all the way back to the Great Crusade. Like Castor he was a Scout during the Great Crusade. Unlike Castor he was at Calth. Post-betrayal he wandered for a while, eventually coming under the influence of the Black Cardinal. One of his greatest feats is leading the assault on the Blood Angels battle barge Wings of Damnation. Turning his back to his old mentor, Kor Phaeron, he set about reconsecrating the Broken Angel, a task that took him and the ship across the length and breadth of the galaxy. Terminator honours. Some say he's a match even for Apostle Castor in close combat, but this may be an exaggeration. Doesn't really approve of Azoreck, but knows it is his lot to guide his captain.

Ahmose of the Thousand Sons is the Chaplain of the 6th company. He and the remnants of the 114th Company of that Legion were rescued from Imperial destruction by the 10th Chapter during the Great Betrayal. Of the fifty-odd survivors most either perished during the war or during the retreat to the Eye. Ahmose and a handful of other brothers stood side-by-side with the 10th during their holding actions against the Khan. After reaching the Eye of Horus Ahmose chose to stay with the Word, rather than rejoin his own brethren. Such is the power of true faith.

Rhaal Adril is the grey-haired chaplain of the 4th company. He is a veteran, not only of the long war, but of the Great Crusade. He was born on Colchis. He is one of the oldest continuously-serving chaplains around. He's quite fond of the good old days, and many of his seremons speak of older, more civilized times. Betrayal is another theme of his; he never tires of telling his version(s) of the Great Betrayal. The other chaplains generally regard him as something of a joke, short on faith and long on tall tales. He's quite popular among the men of his own company, however, and they do not suffer anyone speaking ill of their chaplain.

Sister Agneta is the first of the Blessed Maidens. She was a Sister from the squads that were granted by Zephyr to aid the Ultramarine Castor druing his first visit to that system.

Blight-master (a rank akin to Chapter MAster, Apostle, etc.) Task Tak leads the hordes of Nurgle in the Calixis sector.

This venerable Astartes is birth-brother to Sis Tak, the venerable dreadnought that serves Castor (the fact is not widely known, but Castor sees and hears many things). For two Terran borthers to both become marines, let alone marines of two different Legions is very rare indeed. If there were others they are almost certainly long gone by now, making the Tak brothers something unique.

Angelica Palantina is a nom de guerre, all Daughters take them as a mockery of the names borne by the sisters of battle. But the name of angel is well suited to her, among the most beautiful women, pale of skin and red of hair, a color that match er fiery zeal.

Angelica was one of the first Daughters that Arch Domina Kimery recruited from the below-decks of the Bringer of faith. She was fierce, almost feral child, that's how she survived the hard conditions of the slave decks.

Difficult to control then and granted the Arch Domina has beaten some of that out of her, she has a eye for potential that made her keep at it with the ungrateful and feisty Angelica, beatings and prayer aside Angelica remains fierce (but less independent) to this day.

Angelica rose true the ranks of the Daughters, and early showed a nack for attacking up close with the neck braking speeds the jump pack offered. She leads her Daughters in support of the Assault Astardes. She knows is and leads the elites of the Daughters and acts accordingly.
