Septus Orth

Tenth Captain Septus Orth is the commander of the 10th Company of the stoic and merciless Sons of Iron Space Marine Chapter.

Background
While the heavy use of bionics made the two brothers unrecognisable, the big, stern and cybernetic brute who led the 10th Company was indeed the twin brother of the First Captain of the Sons of Iron. A determinate figure of the Medusan traditions in his Chapter, he was the last of the Sons of Iron officers to support the Master of the Forge Stronos. This explained his behaviour with the new recruits of the Chapter : as every Iron Hand instructor, Septus Orth had a tendency to belittle the Scouts under his command, a practice which hardly change the young brothers from those of the Instructors-Recruiters of the Chapter who tend to remind the Initiates of how they are inferior and unworthy of more than a mattress to sleep.

Despite this behaviour, which could be called by some detestable, Septus Orth recognized privately the value of his "small iron guys" as he calls his Scouts. The 10th Captain bionics were among the finest of the Imperium, which enabled him to fulfil his mission of directing Scouts effectively by guiding them on the field with the bests spectra of vision available and the silence of his mechanisms. More than enemy of the Imperium saw his throat silently sliced by Orth as he watched the sky, waiting for the classic assault by orbital bombardment which made the Sons of Iron famous in the Ultima Segmentum.

During the Temporal Wars, he was deployed along his soldiers with the 9th Company on the world of LOrea. There, he managed to lead a extremely effective guerrilla campaign, until his forces were cut off from supply for too long, because of the temporal anomalies which engulfed part of the planet at random. Hundreds of traitors managed to surround him and his close cadre of elite Scouts, who all died alongside him, allowing for more Primaris to be created, over the normal Astartes.
