The Red Butchers
   The red butchers where among the oldest of the World Eaters legionaries, those forever lost to the butchers nails. Locked eternally inside their Catafractii armor, they are chained and hidden away until battle is joined were they are released and rush to let the blood flow.

Legates Orphio and Codicier Antius
Legates Orphio (right) and Codicier Antius 

  Broken and close to death, Legates Orphio phases from existence on Armatura, unnoticed among the countless slain. The Evocatie commander found himself upon a slab with the brooding form of a Necron Nobel regarding him from across the dark room.
  The errant Necron Lord set Orphio upon a crusade of his own. A crusade to oust the traitorous World Eaters and World Bearers from the 500 worlds.
  Orphio decided to bide his time, seeing an opportunity to save his beloved Ultramar and the course to gather a force strong enough to return and wipe this pompous alien from the face of the galaxy.
  Reunited with the Codicier Antius, a powerful psyker. Armed with contempt, the two heroes embark to bring vengeance from the ashes. (For the full story, keep an eye out for the fan fiction "From the Ashes" to be posted soon)

Codicier Antius
   Codicier Antius was the sole survivor of a retribution force sent by Lord Guilliman to learn of Armatura. Given leave of his oath made after the Council of Nikea, Antius wields the eather, striking down traitors with impunity.
   Antius follows the discipline of telepathy, enjoying the irony of forcing the fallen legionaries to turn upon each other, echoing the great treachery they have committed.
