Beythor Tol

Beythor Tol is a Firstborn Astartes who served as a Sergeant of the Marines Malevolent 967.M41-998.M41 after being recruited into the Marines Malevolent in 942.M41 during the Second War of Armageddon. In late 998.M41 during the Third War of Armageddon he was transferred to the Deathwatch.
== History ==
==== Chapter Service ====
Born in 932.M41, he alongside several others were taken by the Marines Malevolent to replenish casualties suffered on Armageddon. Beythor would survive training and eventually be promoted to sergeant of the Marines Malevolent in 967.M41 being after surviving an encounter with several Rak'Gol who slew the rest of his squad. Shortly after becoming sergeant he was sent to salvage what remained of a derelict Black Templars ship carrying a message for the Marines Malevolent. Though the message was lost, Beythor obtained a power sword from the Sergeant who had commanded the vessel and the Marines Malevolent received equipment from the fallen Black Templars. Whilst searching the derelict ship Beythor encountered a large force of orks who had boarded the vessel and slain the crew; unable to successfully fight off the xenos he left a mortally wounded brother to send the ship back into the warp, without its gellar field active.
Whilst serving in the Third war of Armageddon the Salamanders alleged he had left one of their lieutenant behind when leaving a region about to be orbitally bombed by the Imperial Navy. With the Marines Malevolent under threat from the Salamanders and Black Templars Beythor Tol and his squad were offered a choice: death or serving the Deathwatch. By order of the Marines Malevolent Chapter Master, Beythor would be transferred to serve as a member of the Deathwatch outside of the Segmentum to avoid being seen on Armageddon again.
While being transferred to Watch Fortress Black Bastion after serving near the Ghoul stars for a short time his ship was attacked by tyranids resulting in a serious injury over his face, blinding him in the process, caused by a genestealer that he would slay despite not being able to see it after using his flamer to incinerate the corridor he was in (whilst also accidentally causing the deaths of three crew members on the vessel also fighting the genestealer). After his conflict with the tyranids he became a pale grey with a purple tinge around where he was injured.
== Appearance ==
Beythor Tol, still Firstborn, has a pale grey skin with generally shaved off brown hair, his face and left arm being heavily augmented due to injuries caused by a tyranid ambush. Due to reckless use of a flamer he is heavily burnt in several areas along with several scars from conflict with orks and tyranids mainly.
== Personality ==
Like most Marines Malevolent, Beythor Tol is generally viewed as uncaring and somewhat hostile at times though since his transfer to the deathwatch he is less arrogant and very willing to listen to others frequently requesting advice from other astartes of the deathwatch as long it results in the most xenos casualties possible. Due to the injuries he received from conflict with orks and tyranids he is especially hostile towards them.
== Abilities and traits ==
Capable in melee with an understanding of various xenos species, Beythor is a relatively skilled duelist with a willingness to do what it takes even if an action would be viewed as dishonorable. Due to his experience with orks and having studied several other xenos he is able to fight such groups with skill and precision.
