Rafen - Fabius Bile Incident: Rafen also proved instrumental in defending the assault on the Blood Angels' fortress-monastery on Baal by Fabius Bile, the Chaos Space Marine Apothecary who was a Renegade even from the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion in his quest for genetically engineering the perfect warrior. The assault was a ruse by Bile, who was in reality trying to steal a sample of Sanguinius' blood.Bile succeeded in taking a phial with the primarch's blood and escaping the planet. Rafen was then assigned a mission by Lord Commander Dante, the Blood Angels' Chapter Master, to recover the blood of the Blood Angels' Primarch Sanguinius and to punish Fabius Bile with death for his transgressions against the chapter.Having followed Fabius Bile futilely for some time on board the Blood Angels cruiser Tycho, Rafen received assistance from his blood-cousin Noxx of the Flesh Tearers Chapter.Together, the two Space Marine sergeants combined their squads to hunt down Bile, launching a strike against a powerful magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus named Matthun Zellik. Zellik had been making deals with Bile, who had usurped the identity of another Mechanicus tech-priest named Haran Serpens, the same alias used by Bile to infiltrate the Blood Angels Chapter on Baal.The battle against Zellik took place on board the Archeohort, an ancient and unusual Adeptus Mechanicus excavation starship manned by Servitors and members of the Mechanicus' elite cybernetic warriors, the Skitarii.By taking advantage of a turncoat within Zellik's ranks, however, Rafen, Noxx and their men found their way to Zellik's trophy room, where they destroyed the relics recovered by the magos and forced his surrender, lest his work be undone.During the battle, Rafen had lost his Bolter to a trap laid by Zellik. But among the relics and goods in Zellik's collect was a Plasma Pistol bearing the name and Chapter markings of Aryon, a long dead hero of the Blood Angels, which Rafen took as his new side arm.With the Archeohort, the Tycho and the Gabriel (on loan from the Flesh Tearers), Rafen and his warriors travelled to the planet of Dynikas V, where Zellik had last had dealings with Bile.The planet itself was unusual in that it had suffered an attack by the Tyranids, but the events had left the oceans intact as well as several aquatically mutated Tyranid specimens leaderless on the planet.Sacrificing the Archeohort, Rafen, Noxx and their men descended to Dynikas V using a submersible to approach the suspected base of operations of Fabius Bile.During the approach, Rafen and his allies battled large Tyranid creatures similar in size to mighty krakens. During the underwater battle, Rafen was separated from his allies and floated to the surface, where mutated slaves of Bile captured him and took him to Bile's laboratory and fortress.Rafen, disarmed and implanted with a strange maggot that prevented him from moving, was taken before Fabius Bile himself. Bile, lost in grandeur, explained to Rafen his plan to clone none other than the Emperor of Mankind Himself. Though wounded and weakened, Rafen managed to assault the Primogenitor, and killed him by tearing out his neck.However, Bile was not truly dead. Immediately after the Heretic Astartes' death, Rafen suddenly found himself in a strange arena where he raced against mutants and captured Space Marines of other Chapters, lest he be killed. There, amongst the audience, Rafen saw Bile alive.During the race, Rafen convinced the morose Tarikus of the Doom Eagles Chapter to side with him in an uprising against Bile. At the same time, Noxx and the remaining men under his and Rafen's command made landfall against the fortress.It was then that Ceris, a Librarian in Rafen's squad, mentally contacted Rafen and bade him to attack a strange Warp signature to prevent Bile from escaping.The Warp signature turned out to be a captured and harvested Tyranid Zoanthrope, whom Bile had bent to his will to create Warp portals and keep the Tyranids still on the planet away from his fortress. Curiously, the Zoanthrope welcomed its death by Rafen's hand.During the ensuing battle, Fabius Bile was killed no less than four times, and the truth was revealed when Rafen and a handful of his allies encountered two copies of Bile at once: they were merely clones of the true Fabius Bile, who was not even on the planet.Still, the last clone of Bile did possess the coveted vial of the Primarch Sanguinius' blood he had stolen from the Blood Angels fortress-monastery, which Rafen managed to take from Bile and inject into himself to defeat him.By exploiting Bile's last ditch escape attempt, Rafen and his men and Bile's Space Marine slaves managed to teleport away from Dynikas V while the Tyranids ravaged the fortress.
