Michaelus

## Michaelus Calistarius

Armorial of the Charnel Brethren.

**Lord Michaelus Calistarius,** known as the Archangel, is the current Chapter Master of the notoriously bellicose and savage Charnel Brethren Space Marine Chapter. He is a veritable Angel of Death; a consummate killer, whose skills has been honed and perfected over centuries of warfare and are the terror of his enemies. But his true gift has always been his sheer bloody-minded perseverance and a natural instinct for survival that defies belief. Having stood at the brink of death and apocalyptic destruction so many times and emerging from these ordeals unscathed, many within the Chapter consider Michaelus to live a charmed, or perhaps more accurately, cursed, life.

## Background

Chapter Master of the Charnel Brethren since 111.M42 obtaining this position just before the Purge of Hades Prime, Michaelus epitomises everything that the Sons of Sanguinius stand for for Michaelus is a true Angel of Death, a superlative warrior and general, noble and angelic in appearance and soul but when his anger is roused he is truly terrible to behold, a living avatar of the Emperors unfathomable rage and fury.​​​​​​

## Physical Description

A survivor of one of his Chapters assaults described him as a massive figure, a giant in golden armour, pure white wings jutting from his back, the pelt of an unknown animal draped over his shoulder with an exquisite sword sheathed at his side, long blonde hair framing an alabaster face. The survivor called him a veritable Angel, beautiful and awe-inspiring in every respect.
