## History

Born to a commoner parents on Thesserus Prime. Young Alvertus was abandoned in the wilderness of Thesserus Prime at the age of 6 when their parents chose to serve the nobles at Serdinia Hive. He was forced to survive by eating mud yams,and Jackberries; later on ash caymans, and grox at the age of 10. With only pariahs and survivalists as his friend, young Alvertus survive in the deadly wilderness of Serdinian wasteland for 15 years until his encounter with the Serdinian Dragon, a winged reptilian behemoth with 6 eyes and three long poisonous tails. Alvertus survived and killed the Serdinian Dragon using improvised traps, canyon boulders, and his steel makeshift javelins to kill the beast by impaling its eyes. Within 24 hours after his victory against the beast, Alvertus meet a tall figure and was given an offer to be recruited as an Astartes of the Silver Centurions. Alvertus accepted without question and he was carried to the Chapter's flagship the *Pride of Brigandium* and begin his 4 years of intense brutal training to be shaped as a worthy Space Marine.

Armed with Bolter and Combat knifes, Alvertus and 19 other Astartes succeed in liberating the installation. Twenty years following the liberation of Installation Forlone Delta, Alvertus successfully defeat the Warbozz of Klan Wardrumz at Jongla V. It was at this jungle world that Alvertus armed with only a chainsword, had decimate the warbozz Snakeruf Drumsmasha, bringing the bozz kombi zap cannon as the trophy to the chapter.

After a century of services, Alvertus is promoted to the Sergeant of the 2nd Company. But the Chapter Master Nikephoros had other plan for Alvertus. He was tasked to lead his own Kill Team at Watch Fortress Khanduras to answer Watch Captain Vervuurt against the genestealer infestation and the new emerging Necron Dynasties of Viltekh across Dramuka sector, Segmentum Tempestus.

Alvertus tactical genius and mastery of sword and bolter, enable him to wield a relic Xenophase Blade called 'Fearbitter'. The xenophase blade become his signature weapon through his century of service to the Deathwatch. Alvertus 10 man kill team consists of veteran battle brothers from smaller or newly raise chapters yet filled with deadly xeno hunters and experienced killers of various xenos across the galaxy. The chapters that incorporate to his Kill-Team are: Hyenas of Caliban, Spectral Wolves, Winds of Fury, Storm Zealots, White Wolves, Charybdis Astra, Bolts of Dorn, Lion's Crusader, and Emerald Templars.

Alvertus greatest exploit that carried on his name as Necron's bane was made in the Hive World of Orcena where the Necrons of Viltekh Dynasty rise to join the Phaeron Dizanteph and reclaim the galaxy. Organizing mixed armies of Deathwatch Astartes, Skitarii Legion, and the Astra Militarum of Orcenan Raiders. Alvertus though outnumbered 5 to 1, manage to defend the hive city for 1 Terran years and even destroying 9 Necron Monoliths out of 12 through his tactical stratagems. It was on Orcena that the Necron Lord Za'tukh the Obedient were slain by the Sergeant with the aid Brother Talroq Huss's plasma charge. Once the entire Necrons died out, the Kill Team Victarius with the aid of Orcenan Raider's air support storm and infiltrate the Cairn Class Tomb Ship where they silently wait as the Necrons retreated back to their main tombworld of Canarut. Through a Deathwatch hidden technology called the Phase Shroud, the Kill-Team managed to infiltrate even destroying the particle whip turrets surrounding the pyramid comples. They continues to infiltrate inside the pyramids until the Throne room where the team separated into 2 groups led by Brother Havknir to destroy the inner generator that empowers the entire planet. and Sergeant Alvertus lead the main assault to slay the Phaeron Dizanteph himself. Some records tells that the invasion of Eldar of Craftworld Gelyanden led by Farseer Mycrease ease the Deathwatch mission as the Kill Team successfully destroy the inner generator, rendering most of the Necrons and their Monoliths to stand still and lifeless with the exceptions of the Pariahs, Destroyers, the Phaeron Guard, and the Phaeron Dizanteph himself. The final battle is highly in favour of Alvertus kill team none of his kill team died on the operation and Phaeron Dizanteph slain by the Sergeant himself, earning him a title 'Necron'sbane'.

Following his last mission at Theria Secundus at Segmentum Pacificus to destroy the upstart xeno empire of Bol'ta'vik Empire. Sergeant Alvertus is given an honored cross and Crux Terminatus by Watch Captain Vervuurt. He leave his Kill-team and assigned Sergeant Havknir of the Spectral Wolves as the new leader of the Kill-Team. Once arrived at the Battle Barge at the beginning of M42., Alvertus lead his battle brother at Mardugul Crusade aiding sisters of the Order of the Blessed Laurel against a new threat he wasn't familiar with: the Daemons of Chaos. Through personal guidance of Canoness Althea Bernadette, Alvertus finally knew the best stratagems to defeat the forces of Chaos from daemons to Heretic Astartes alike. At the end of Indomitus Crusade, once again Alvertus now a Primaris Space Marine and a Captain of the 2nd Company were sent to Vigilus to defend Canoness Superior Varina Agrivictrix and Canoness Althea against the invasion of Crimson Slaughter at Dirkden Hive to defend the extraction of relic belong to Sebastian Thor. The mission was succesful although with the sacrifice of Canoness Superior Varina Agrivictrix and The Chapter Master (Legatus) Nikephoros himself.

It was on Dirkden Hive that Captain Alvertus with only 18 Battle Brothers decide to stay at the the Hive and led a rescue mission to rescue Canoness Althea that is taken prisoner by the Crimson Slaughter Chaos Champion Fernkal the Sly. Captain Alvertus armed with his signature Jade Thunder Hammer 'Fearslayer' reforged from the Xenophase Blade 'Fearbitter' smash through the ranks of cultists and Heretic Astartes and board the Chaos Cruiser 'Sins of Rhogon'. Once freed the Canoness Althea and her sisters, the duo commander lead the assault on the Strike Cruiser mauling and slashing every Heretic Astartes in their path and at the end, the duo slay the Chaos Champion and his retinue of Cataphractii Terminators. The Silver Centurions and the Sisters of the Blessed Laurel survived the crash landing and extracted to the forward base.

Back at the **Pride of Brigandium** the council realize the talent, ferocity, and intelligence of Alvertus Victarius decide to annoint him as the Chapter Master of the Silver Centurions. Alvertus twice refuse the offer, decide to take the mantle of leadership to lead the Centurions to new glory.

## Personality

Noble, Bold, talented survivalist, and Intelligent is what describe Alvertus himself. A pragmatic person who believes in logical answer brought Alvertus far from a young wasteland survivalist to become a Chapter Master leading a superhuman warriors in the galaxy full of mutants, xenos, and dangers of the warp. Alvertus greatest ability is his willingness to learn, adapt, and overcome the enemy he fought with ease. A paragon and exemplar of what a Space Marine should be.

Alvertus possess little flaw but his despise of dogmatic attitudes and decision as well as the Imperial Cult. Alvertus will not favour nor took a decision that favours the Ecclesiarchy. During Balaran Crusade, Sergeant Alvertus blatantly reject Confessor Fenmar's response to defend and venerate the church of the Emperor ascendant while the marauding Tyranids slaughter the Astra Militarum at Hive City Belona and Durkwand. Alvertus despise of Imperial Cult brought him a sour conflict with Black Templars Marshall Raymundus during the Glaverna Crusade where the Silver Centurion decide to press on the Tau's defense while the Black Templars hold the position to purify the Chapel of the Emperor.

But on several occasion he will answer to his Chapter Master or those he respect in the name of service to the Emperor himself. Alvertus is known to be a close ally and partner to Canoness Althea Bernadette. Though he dislike Althea's devout to the Imperial Cult, he respect Althea's skill, tutor, and guidance to fight the Forces of Chaos. Since Vigilus, Chapter Master Alvertus will continue to aid the Order of the Blessed Laurel through their crusade against both xeno and chaos.
