Agiel Ramian

Agiel after cleaning off the Chimera blood that drenched his armour and robes

**Agiel Ramian**, a former destroyer who's true initiation into the Dreadwing was denied by the Fall of Caliban, is a Fallen Angel filled with anger and bitterness towards his loyalist Kin for destroying his home, sending many of his biological brothers to die in The Emperor's Wars and ruining his initiation into the Dreadwing.

## History

### Before, During and After The Fall

Agiel was a child of Caliban, destined to become part of the 1st Legion by his birth into line Ramian. Many of his brothers had become Astartes themselves and had been sent off to serve the Imperium and the Dark Angels, none came back alive. Seeing his brothers come back dead bred resentment for the Imperium within Agiel. But wanting to serve The Order and Caliban like his brothers did Agiel would become a neophyte in Caliban, training in heavy weaponry and destined to join the Dreadwing formation. Agiel was to be initated into the Dreadwing but upon the day he was to become an official destroyer of the Dreadwing, The Legion returned to Caliban.

When the Dark Angels came back to Caliban and the Fall of Caliban occurred, Agiel was one of those involved in the battle; He killed many loyalists to the Emperor with his Volkite Culverin before he was scattered through time alongside the other fallen by the warp cataclysm and he found himself upon a dead world, its name long lost to time. The rage and bitterness he felt for being denied what he saw as his rightful initiation into the Dreadwing. He was so close; he even has the icon on his armour and yet when the traitors to Caliban came to ruin his initiation it all fell apart.

For the first time in uncounted years, the dead world was filled with noise as the angered roar of Agiel filled the dead atmosphere.

Agiel would find a way off world in the form of a group of human scavengers that made planet fall on the dead world, forcing them to take him to their ship and take him to Caliban only to learn the legend of its destruction. This instead redirected Agiel’s efforts into survival and began to wander the galaxy with his crew of scavengers.

### Encounter with The Unforgiven and a New Path

It would be in 003.M42 when Agiel would end up encountering the loyalist descendants of his legion and he would fight to escape from them, killing several marines and thwarting the efforts of an Interrogator Chaplain to bring him into custody by crashing the ship they were on into a planet trapped the great rift nearby The Cadian Gate, killing the Dark Angels sent to capture him, what remained of his salvager crew and severely damaging his armour.

He would spend the next few weeks on said planet salvaging parts to repair his armour from his loyalist and Primaris brethren before he began to hear of whisper within his dreams which turned into vivid visions, talking of new glories to find and a way to truly earn his mettle: The Foretoken.

After finishing his now ramshackle power armour from parts from his loyalist brothers, he would begin his search for the Foretoken and The Crimson Heart and ventured into the eye of terror where he would work as a mercenary and a hired gun for several warbands until he found the lead he wanted and finally arrived on The Crimson Heart in the year of 008.M42.

Once he found his way to the gate of The Crimson Heart he waited at it’s gates for 4 Terran days until a mysterious figure opened the door and gave him a task, to Kill the beast known as The Chimera and Agiel would set out on the Hunt for the Chimera.

### The Hunt

Agiel would spend weeks on end hunting and stalking a Chimera before he would assault it, firing volleys from his Volkite Culverin and blasting off off one of its fore limbs but the beast was far from done and charged Agiel who barraged the beast with many Volkite blasts until it got in close, weakening it to the point where close combat would not be suicide. The Fallen Angel and Chimera would battle, inflicting wounds on each other but Agiel would land a mortal wound in the form of a Chain Axe and Power axe being gouged into the beast’s thick neck and then being used to split open the throat of the Chimera and watching it as it bled out and and doused Agiel in it's blood.

From the Chimera, Agiel would skin it’s head and wear the pelt he tore from it’s skull on his pauldron which hid the old icon of the Dark Angels Legion. He would then return to The Crimson Heart and become a new member of The Foretoken.

## Appearance

Agiel’s skin has turned a pale white since the scattering of the warp. The whites of his eyes have yellowed since his time in the warp. His face is covered in several scars but he has a single tattoo upon his forehead of the mark of the Dreadwing, a mark he applied to himself after the fall of Caliban but he says that he got it after his initiation into the Dreadwing.

He also wears the old legion colours of The Dark angels but covers most of it in a cloak, scarf and robes. He also wears the sigil of the dreadwing on the opposite pauldron the Chimera head pelt wears the stolen, repainted helmet from a Loyalist Dark Angels lieutenant he killed after said Lieutenant broke his previous helmet.

## Personality

Agiel, despite his age and experience after the Fall of Caliban, is still a very immature warrior. He is often very cocky, brash, rarely thinks ahead and is quick to anger. He has a blatant lack of respect for those who are not of Calibanite Origin, with very few exceptions, and often shows a disregard for any authority. He was like this back on Caliban but his exposure to the warp has only worsened it.

He does not take insults lightly but he is prone to making many a joke and is willing to defend his honour by battle. He also has a strange aversion to swords, preferring the axe due to his family’s origin as lumber workers.
But to those who show actual martial prowess and weapons skill rather than warp born power and talent, he shows some respect for and is willing to give praise where he sees it deserved

## Abilities and Traits

Agiel is trained in the use of several heavy weapons but he is more capable with his Volkite Culverin but without said Culverin or any ranged weapons he’s not as effective compared to other Astartes as he is not skilled in melee or dueling. He is also highly unusual for one of his gene-line as he prefers the axe over the word, proficient in the use of both the power and chain axe. He also possesses mutated eyes from his warp exposure that allow him to focus on object further away and see anything in ordinary Astartes vision in great detail

## Mutations

At a first glance it would appear Agiel lacks any form of mutation caused by chaos but if one were to look into his eyes they would notice how light reflects differently off them and that his pupils are naught but bottomless darkness.

## Gifts of Chaos

Agiel has yet to be gifted anything by the powers of chaos for he has not done much in the name of the Dark Gods to warrant being gifted.

## Equipment

### Armour

Modified Mark IV Maximus Power Armour: Parts of his armour has been replaced by stolen parts from loyalist Astartes he has killed such as the MK VIII Helmet of a Lieutenant of the Dark Angels.

### Used Weapons

* Volkite Culverin: A relic from the Horus Heresy and now personal weapon of Agiel.
* Power Axe Or Chain Axe: He prefers to use an axe over a sword and he tends to chose between his Chain Axe or Power axe depending on current circumstance. He rarely uses both at the same time
* Bolt Pistol
* Frag and Krak grenades.

### Chimera Trophy

Agiel wears the pelt he cut off the head of the Chimera he slew, he also keeps several teeth of the Chimera on his person and still uses the bloodied skull of The Chimera as a Trophy.

## Quotes

### By:

"*Penance? Is that what you call erasing your greatest mistake? Does the galaxy know that it was your ancestors who destroyed my home? You dare call yourself a Knight of Caliban when you never even set foot on its ground? It will be you and your loyalist dog brothers who will repent for destroying my home and disgracing it's name further by acting as the Emperor's pawns.*"
— Agiel, furious at a Loyalist Dark Angel during his encounter with them.
### About:

"*I do not care that you didn’t get the proper initiation that you are owed. You are a Dark Angel, without question. And whatever the others tell you, you’ve earned your keep. Now fight, for Caliban demands that we do.*"
—Unseen Captain Kazarin Aradas to Agiel
