Euric

Euric, known affectionately as the 'Old Eagle', is the current Ansis (Chapter Master) of the savage and unrelenting Marauding Eagles Space Marine Chapter.

Background
The current Ansis is almost 1,000 years old, and he yet remains a formidable warrior. The burning fury of his Chapter has been tempered by age's wisdom, and his savage cunning is well-supplemented by centuries of experience. Euric originally hailed from the Darkfist Brotherhood, and he is quite used to relying on the same heavy-handed discipline and brutal beatings commonly utilised by the Third Brotherhood to put his Brothers in place. Such behaviour often makes the Marauding Eagles seem more wild than they truly are, but the Old Eagle deems them a necessity. All too often has his Chapter let a berserk frenzy compromise tactical objectives, and while it isn't a grievous flaw when battling alone at the border of the Imperium, it must be weeded out before any engagement alongside forces of the Imperium.

Like all the Ansis before him, Euric craves for glory. His tally of victories is never long enough, and he especially loathes that most of his deeds remain unknown to the wider Imperium. Still, he refuses to leave the usual hunting grounds used by the Marauding Eagles, for fear of some manner of foes crawling out from the dark into the holy territories of the Imperium. One of the rare occasion he truly went far to do battle was during the Indomitus Crusade, and even then it was only during the last thirty years of the century-long crusade, the Ansis wishing to prove to all that no Primaris was needed amongst his kin to achieve successes.
