Castel Israfel

Castel Israfel is a current member of the Ordo Xenos Chamber Militant, the Deathwatch. Originating from one of the more bellicose Chapters of the Unforgiven, the Seraphim of the Abyss, which seldom honors its obligations to send brothers to serve in the Long Watch. Thus, it is a larger surprise when the Seraphim submitted one of their Epistolaries to serve as a Deathwatch Librarian, which are screened to the extreme before acceptance. But through all, Castel has passed every test set before him and lends his savant psykic ability to the Kill-Teams of Watch Fortress Surgegate.

History
Sparse is known to Castel's comrades of his past in his parent Chapter, and that is on purpose. For the Seraphim of the Abyss are now fully committed to the hunt for the Fallen Angels, and in truth the Chapter sent the Epistolary to the Deathwatch for two reasons: to appease the growing demands of the Inquisition for a tribute of Space Marines, but also as a form of punishment for Castel for the crime of failing to capture one of the Fallen while on a mission on a planet classified by the Seraphim themselves. Thus, Castel undergoes his duties in the Watch Fortress with penance and often seeks solitude to meditate and seek the Lion's guidance alone. A master of divination, Castel often uses his Empyrean-given gifts to create portents of the future and to smite the foulest xeno abominations that stand before him with a cold, aloof sternness.

Personality
Very few of Castel's battle-brothers may consider him a friend, owing to the Unforgiven's natural distrust of any not of their gene-sire's ken, his own nature as a psyker, and the fact the Librarian knows his time on the Watch is for atonement, not glory. But in truth, he is of much patient clay than his brothers of the Seraphim, to whom vengeance is everything, and Castel often reads the Emperor's Tarot and takes solace in the outcome, regardless of the cards he draws for the Emperor has decreed it to be so.
