## History

### Early Years

In his early years, Agostin Brassa was born in a barbaric clan of Techno Barbarians within the planet of Catast and was raised personally by his mother a Wrathful and Brave Albino woman who was their leader and unbeknownst to the Sons of Chief a Zealot of the Blood God Khorne.

During his youth, he would travel alongside the clan partaking in raiding the other Barbarian clans and helping his mother sacrifice them on a Pyre to Khorne, a cycle he had loved dearly as the thrill of combat seemed to feel a calling to him until he was offered to join the Sons of Chief as a recruit or a “Filharir”.

### Service in Sons of Chief

While he had no problem with being made to fight for a spectacle of entertainment and initiation into the Chapter’s ranks. He recalls his opponent was whelp just as he was but seemed much more frail and intimidated than he was, to say the fight was easy however would be an understatement in his eyes it had become a slaughter and only challenging for him not to give in to the will of Khorne and overdue the slaughter. But no he secretly admits at least in his thoughts that the final initiation being the “Head Hunting” was the challenge he had to force himself to overcome as he used his memories of home, and set out to kill his family and return with the head of his mother as proof the job was done. After the fact he set ruin to his only family as well as toppling what would’ve been a Coalition of tribes.

He went on to serve the Sons of Chief as one of the many “Saqastoliah” or Devastators until he earned his name as a Veteran Astartes, during a campaign against a Chaos Warband known as the Apostles of Doom, a group of Tzeetchian Sorcerers and Warriors where he had secretly obtained his favorite melee weapon known as the Last Rite that was rumored to be an Artifact of Khorne before taking it for himself and using it to brutally slice the head of what was the current Chaos Lord off.

### Exiled and Volatile Executioner

It wasn’t until the Sons of Chief had accepted a Bounty Contract from an anonymous source to exterminate the Traitorous Warband of Khorne Worshipers known as the Beast Host, at the time when Agostin used to be a former Captain or “Cihunte” in the Chapter’s favored tongue of his former brothers, taking the Second Company of his battle brothers to what was the most horrific and brutal event in the Beast Host and Sons of Chief’s History although the prior did get beaten back badly and nearly lost everything if it were not for a Daemon infused Champion and earning the Eyes of Khorne. It was at this time he knew that the very beings his brethren had forsaken had begun to favor him as the Influence of Khorne began to seep into his mind like a plague until his Dark Dealings with the Ruinous Blood god had caused for him to be out-casted by his Renegade Chapters except for half of his Company who fell for his Promise of "True Firepower worthy of Gods". Thus led to him creating and leading a small warband known as Volatile Executioners for a time.

### The Foretoken

After some years traveling alone besides the company of Haddy by his side, Agostin encountered many new and possibly unique challenges while claiming honor for Khorne. until he came across an Astarte known as the “Thrice Fallen”during a Campaign of sorts where he got caught between an Ork Waaagh and Drukhari attacking one of the planets he was roaming alongside Haddy he caught witness of the power that was Da’tha the Thrice Fallen who was carving himself a bloody path alongside another who was believed to be Agostin’s Predecessor before becoming the Honour Commander.

The battle proven to be just as he wanted regardless, long and bloody and rushed towards the Drukhari alongside Hadd to drive them back killing hordes of them before joining in the slaughtering of the Greenskin and was offered a spot in the Foretoken, taking Hadd with him he would slowly but surely working his way up the ranks.

### The Khymera

After agreeing to join the Foretoken since the event that happened before, Lord Da'tha the Thrice Fallen led him to the Crimson Heart and instructed to Agostin that much like all the others that are soon to follow in becoming one with the Foretoke he must partake in the Rite of Selection which was to locate and slay the legendary beasts known as Kyhmera.

Not wishing to disappoint the Greater Daemon in Astarte's Form as well as getting his lackey killed, Agostin accepted the trail of entry and commanded Haddy to simply wait at the gates of the Crimson Heart until he returns. What was to come of this was a long and dangerous Pilgrimage one could say as he relayed upon his memories as Tribal back when he was much younger and was taught how to hunt beasts, despite not really knowing how long it took him alone to eventually find tracks that would lead him towards his target he readied a makeshift Spear from the Trees and stocked the beast until it was distracted with eating another animal and tackled it.

Which had caused for him and the creature to struggle in a battle of strength, one he slowly began to lose himself tirelessly if not for the Blessings of Khorne mainly the Talisman and Mark he was gifted encouraging and increasing his rage against it till he managed to over power it leaving in its end the beast's demise and very enraged and extremely battered Agostin smeared in blood before skinning and harvesting the fallen Khymera for it's Hide and Skull which would've been later used to adorn his equipment.

#### The Proving

"The Glorious God of Blood and Bone test Me again."
However upon his return back to the gates at the Crimson Heart's Fortress, he was greeted not by his Servant alone but the warriors of the Foretoken at the time marching outward to go out on a Campaign against a Xenos that were found on an a near by planet an enemy forces of Orks once again who had managed to blunder their way into finding this random world and began a Waaagh! to challenge the might of the local inhabitants until the Chaos Astartes had arrived with Da’tha at the head of the spear, taking it upon himself Agostin took his knowledgeable skills of Tactics and Doctrines that would and had to prove almost masterfully done.

While Da'tha would lead the Astartes in the front lines Agostin began to Bark out commands despite not being anyone of high rank or status to get those who stayed to help on the defensive and organized them in key positions and strategies such as Choke Points and Kill Boxes for those that would manage to slip past the Dark Sovereign and those who joined him in the front lines, while the Waaagh!'s horde kept pouring through only to get torn apart by hail of Bolter Rounds. This event alone had given him the grand approval of Da'tha the Thrice Fallen and had been granted the rank of Honour Guard until the previous Honour Commander had passed in the battle against the Ork's Warboss fighting alongside Da'tha.

When the battle has ended, Agostin had corpses of the Green Skins fallen to his feet in gruesome deaths and their blood further scattered into the Red Soil and bathing the ground in a deeper red coat alongside his armor, before being offered to take the place of his Predecessor becoming the new Honor Commander.

## Appearance

Agostin is a 7.5 feet tall Transhuman Astarte known for his pale or some would say “pasty” white skin, Blood Red Eyes, and his short wavy hair that he often attempts to dye into a Raven Black from his “natural” snowy white hair color as well as the resemblance of a stub or 4 O'clock shadow from possibly shaving his facial hair as he was known to sport one back in his days with the Sons of Chief.

Aside from this, his body is adorned in tribalistic tattoos he claims to have “earned” as a child including one depicting a Large almost Neanderthal-esque demon wielding a primitive club as black as the Night Sky probably serving as a crude image of what his Mother had described what the Chaos God of Blood and Skulls, Khrone looks like. Of course, these tribal tattoos and markings are almost never seen by others as he is almost always seen in the Aegis of Savagery a rather scavenged together suit of Astartes Power Armor consisting of a Mark 3 Helmet, Mark 7 Chestplate, Mark 6 Greaves, Mark 7 Shoulder Pads and Gauntlets, and lastly a Mark 6 Backpack.

## Personality

Among his peers, Agostin Brassa is known to be a callous and diligent zealot. Due to this most around him especially his former battle brothers in the Sons of Chief Renegade Chapter see him as an evil and vindictive warmonger who would view himself above others due to his devotion towards the Blood God, Khorne.

Some others especially those in service of the The Foretoken would note he seems to be a rather individual person claiming to stick to silence or mutters and times when he speaks are far more blunt and short to chase, seemingly as if he would have other things to do or is merely prone to anger.

## Abilities and Traits

Agostin Brassa is known to be a Professional Marksman, especially with his favorite choice of weapon the Ichor Beamer and surprisingly well-trained with that Combat Knife of his. Alongside this he shows to be a great hunter and a warrior possibly a result of his Barbaric upbringing under his mother’s guidance which has molded him into the Astartes he is now before us due to the many raids against other Barbarian Clans and hunting for survival back in his youth when he had lived on the planet of Catast. Aside from this, he seems to show a great deal of understanding and capability for tactical planning, especially with the aid of the Entity trapped to possess within his Ichor Beamer.

## Mutations

Unlike his trusted Companion and Servant; Hadd Grimson or simply "Haddy", Agostin does not possess any form of Mutations that he is aware of, except for perhaps his Albino Appearance.

## Gifts of Chaos

Mark of Khorne: Agostin has been gifted by the Blood God himself his Mark which grants him a portion of Khorne’s Battle Rage and becomes even more ferocious in close combat and loses all sense of fear or self-restraint, seen on his forehead or even on his Helm like the Imperium little Golden Skull Decoration sits a Skull Rune that was branded on him.

Talisman of Rage: Another one of Agostin’s Gifts of Chaos is the Talisman of Rage which allows him to control his rage for slightly longer than usual, as well as that of those around him. Or force them into an even higher rage.

Daemon Weapon: Finally the last of his Chaos Gifts, is a “Daemon Weapon”, granted to him by the Blood God, Agostin turned the ritualistic Combat Knife into a daemon weapon forcing a Bloodletter to possess it and making it what is known as a Bloodfeeder.

## Equipment

### Armour

**Agis of Savagery**: While some may not consider his armor to be a relic, in his eyes it is an amalgamation of trophies built into one suit of Astartes Power Armor and stripped of its colour to the default Greyish white ceramite. Contains the following; Mark 3 Helmet, Mark 7 Chestplate, Mark 6 Greaves, Mark 7 Shoulder Pads/ Gauntlets, and Mark 6 Backpack.

### Used Weapons

**The Ichor Beamer**: A Melti-Melta that has been possessed by an unknown warp entity which it has learnt from each Honour Commander of the Foretoken who has wielded it and links to his HUD feeding him advice and tactics, Now passed down to Agostin himself as the Fourth Honour Commander of the Foretoken. Unlike the normal Multi-Melta however aside from the previously mentioned warp entity, it fires a beam of warp energy which instead of melting through material in the conventional sense bends the reality of the material to "melt" a hole.

 **Bolt Pistol**.

**Last Rites** A rather Khornite ritualistic Combat Knife wielded and normally sheathed by Agostin Brassas's side in case he is made to fight in melees, as well as being often used as a Bayonet on the end of the Ichor Beamer.

**Frag Grenades**.

**Krak Grenades**.

### Chimera Trophy

**Hide**: The Hide or as some may refer to it as the Skin, of the cursed Chimera he was tasked with hunting for his entry into the Foretoken before becoming the Honour Commander Years later. It has seen much combat due to him and became some ragged and torn that he now uses it as a minor modification to his Combat Knife; Last Rites, Grip.

**Skull**: As one could expect from a Follower of the Chaos God Khorne during the great battle that took place between Him and the beast he had claimed its skull for his own and mounted it at the Barrel of Ichor Beamer akin to how some Greenskins use Skulls to adorn their Shootas.
