Wallia the Wise

Wallia the Wise is the longest serving Ansis (Chapter Master) of the savage and merciless Marauding Eagles Space Marine Chapter and a tireless defender of the Imperium.

Background
Wallia was the longest-living Ansis the Eagles ever had, since he endured the brutal and thankless battles at the border of the Imperium, for over a thousand years. During that time, he faced Orks, Eldars, Hruds and even horrors from beyond the material world and always prevailed. He was named "the Wise" because he always heed the advice of his counselors and especially Récarède, his greatest Archivist. Yet, his greatest feat and saddest story is the legend of the Hungry Void.

No one ever learnt what he endured inside this cursed ship, what untold horrors he faced, able to shake his resolve so much that he hid from his wild and ferocious brethren tasked with preserving the Chapter's future, what had transpired. However, the stories and archives of that era speak of his haunted look, his muted whispers to the dead left in the cursed ship. He was also known for being adamant that no corner of Arnwarin was left in the dark while the ship hadn't been hauled into the local sun.
