Lukas Keath

Lukas Keath is a member of the Imperial Sentinels Space Marine Chapter, a notable crusading Successor Chapter of the stoic and proud Imperial Fists. Captain Keath currently serves as the commander of the Chapter's 3rd Company.

Background
Lukas Keath was inducted into the Aspirants of the Chapter when the Sentinels' fleet discovered a lifeboat containing the adolescent Lukas and a dozen other teenagers. They had all escaped an attack by Ork Freebootas, sneaking their way to the lifeboat amidst the bloodbath. Although some argued that they should all be ejected out the nearest airlock for cowardice the Master of Recruits intervened on Lukas's behalf, stating in no uncertain terms that the boy had the makings of a space marine and he'd be damned if he saw such potential go to waste. So it was that Lukas began his training, learning the art of war to one day join the ranks of the Imperial Sentinels. His rise through the ranks would've been unremarkable if not for the fact that when he was assigned to the Seventh Reserve Company he was placed in the same squad as the future Lord Commander Taren Lash.

As Devastators, the two forged an unbreakable bond that has stood the test of time, coming to rely on each other completely. They would ascend together to the Third Company, but there was now a layer of complexity to their friendship as Taren was made the Sergeant, meaning he was responsible for not only watching Lukas's back but the backs of the other eight under his command. Lukas took this change in stride, striving to be self sufficient and lessen his friend's burden.

After twenty years Lukas and Taren would be separated, with the former being sent to serve with the Deathwatch. There Lukas's stoic, reserved nature and command abilities led to him being made the leader of a Kill Team, a sergeant in all but name. He excelled in this position and when he returned to the Sentinels he was elevated to the Second Company as one, in charge of his own Assault Squad. For a century he led his men into the heart of the fray, cutting down the enemies of the Imperium in close quarters. When Taren, who had been made Lord Commander by now, needed a new Captain for the Third Company he selected Lukas for the honor. Lukas accepted the post and the responsibility as Master of Marches with his characteristic humility and quite determination.
