Exorcists - Notable Exorcists: Chapter Master Aymir Vasaphon - The current Chapter Master of the Exorcists, Aymir Vasaphon is a taciturn warrior, garnering respect from all around him. Despite this, the inner workings of his mind remain opaque to all but a few. Three standard centuries have come and gone since he passed through the Halls of Tempering but the seasoned Space Marine is still haunted by the guttural voice of the Daemon who possessed him for seven solar days and nights. This malignant entity of Nurgle made many smug claims to Vasaphon before being banished, and the fact that several of these have since come true is an enduring source of concern to the Chapter Master -- so much so that he pursues the destruction of the Plague God's servants with particular zeal. The first member of the Exorcists command cadre to cross the Rubicon Primaris, Vasaphon felt it was his duty to endure the agonising procedure to become a Primaris Marine before asking his fellows to do the same. Clad in crimson Mark X Gravis Power Armour and armed with the relic blade Voidbane, the reborn Vasaphon is always a formidable force on the battlefield.Chapter Master Enoch Trismegistus - According to ancient Chapter legends, Enoch Trismegistus was the Exorcists' first Chapter Master. After he was possessed by the Tzeentchian Greater Daemon Keriath the Shrouded during the Battle of Totem IV and later freed from its grip on his soul with the aid of Chief Librarian Goetos, Trismegistus struck the pact with the Plutonians of the Ordo Malleus to allow his Space Marines to be possessed by Daemons as part of their initiation process in the hope of making them better Daemonhunters. It is for him that the elite Orison of the Chapter known as the Enochian Guard is named.Captain Silas Alberec - Also known as the "Wielder of the Hellslayer" and the "Keeper of Vigils", Silas Alberec is a mighty Space Marine whose Ogryn-like stature allows him to tower over even his fellow Astartes and who serves as the captain of the 3rd Company of the Exorcists. Captain Alberec, who is also the heir-designate to become the next Chapter Master of the Exorcists, commanded a large force of Exorcist Astartes during the Chapter's involvement in the Badab War. He is a phenomenal warrior whose strength has become legendary within his Chapter. But it is not only for his physical power that Alberec has been hailed, for his brutish exterior conceals a sharp mind and an extraordinary will, both of which have been tested in the harshest circumstances imaginable. While still a Neophyte Scout Marine of the Exorcists' 10th Company, Silas Alberec was assigned to a small strike force assisting an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor named Kahzan in combating a suspected daemonic infestation aboard the Mars-class Battlecruiser Sundered Star. When the tainted starship began to phase in and out of realspace, plunging all aboard into the nightmarish realm of the Warp, the casualties were enormous, and Silas Alberec was one of the few to survive, dragging the maimed Inquisitor out to a salvation pod before the Sundered Star disappeared forever into the jaws of hell. This was but the first of scores of acts of courage and fortitude attributed to him, earning Alberec an eventual place as the Captain of the 3rd Company, the Chapter's Keeper of Vigils and the Adjutant of the Orison of the Broken Tower, one of the few non-psykers to be granted the title. Captain Alberec commanded the Exorcists contingent that served the Loyalist cause during the Badab War. The Exorcists intervened in the conflict once the Secessionists had been declared Excommunicate Traitoris in 908.M41. Alberec gained great fame and recognition for himself in the Badab War, leading his Space Marines in several noteworthy engagements. The first of these was the taking of the armed merchantman Soyuz-Maru during the Second Battle of Sagan, and the last was the bloody attack on the vital and heavily defended Sentinel-Sigma station during the Fall of Badab Primaris. In this latter battle, Alberec wielded the Hellslayer Power Mace to great effect, rapidly smashing his way through armoured bulkheads while under heavy fire from the Astral Claws. Alberec slew the Astral Claws' Chaplain Arkil Lionsmane in personal combat despite still suffering from grievous wounds earned in prior battles.Captain Waite Ryder - Captain Waite Ryder was the Exorcists' Master of the Fleet during the Badab War.Captain Veyon Armadel - After Cardinal Rodrigo Nessun escaped into the Warp with a group of Broken Ones initiates who had not successfully completed the Exorcists' initiation rite of daemonic possession, he transformed them into a warband of Heretic Astartes known as the Swords of Epiphany that the Exorcists had to hunt down at all costs to maintain their secrets. Veyon Armadel was tasked with leading a contingent of Exorcists on what became known as "Armadel's Purge." Armadel and his chosen battle-brothers hounded the Swords of Epiphany wherever they were sighted until at last the twisted cabal was declared extinct.Librarian Malachite - A Librarian of the Exorcists Chapter who fought during the Aschen War in 307.M40. Because of the noble sacrifice of one of the Chapter Dreadnoughts, Venerable Sybra, when combating the unholy daemonic monstrosity known as the Lord of Shadows, Librarian Malachite was able to press his advantage and strike at the Greater Daemon's burning heart with his Force Spear, finally vanquishing it back to the Warp.Epistolary Sabazius - The archives of the Deathwatch record that Brother Sabazius had served as an Epistolary in the Exorcists Chapter for almost a standard century when he was dispatched by his Chapter Master to fight alongside an Inquisition mission to scour a xenophage cult that had taken hold amongst the nobility of the Pleasure World of Leucosia. The legends of that world still recount the day the vengeful Librarian and his battle-brothers descended from the pristine skies upon pillars of fire to deliver judgement upon the fallen. So effective was that operation that millennia later, Leucosia is counted as amongst the most pious of Imperial Shrine Worlds, entirely dedicated to the purest of the Emperor's saints. It was during this operation that Sabazius drew the attention of members of the Ordo Xenos, and a decade later he answered the call to stand a vigil of the Long Watch at Watch Fortress Erioch in the Jericho Reach. Epistolary Sabazius was gifted with several psychic abilities counted as rare amongst battle psykers, not least of which was the ability to discern the soul of an enemy in the Great Beyond, and to assault it directly with powers unleashed by his own spirit. Thus Sabazius was able to bear witness to the soul-death of his foes directly, and it was this aspect of his powers that led him to the conclusion that the beast of Andronicus Prime was not myriad foes, but a single entity. When he summoned a select Kill-team comprised of Veteran Deathwatch members, Sabazius and his entire team went missing, their fate unknown.Librarian Bael Vordhane - Bael Vordhane of the 2nd Company commanded the strike cruiser Wraith of Thenna that served as the Exorcists' contribution to the Indomitus Crusade's Tertius Fleet's Battlegroup Haephestus. The Wraith of Thenna participated in the Drennox Cleansing during the crusade.Chief Librarian Goetos - Goetos was the Chief Librarian of the Exorcists during the time of its legendary first Chapter Master, Enoch Trismegistus. After Trismegistus was possessed by the Lord of Change Keriath the Shrouded during the Battle of Totem IV, it was Goetos who used his abilities to help his Chapter Master find the willpower to force the Tzeentchian Greater Daemon out of his body and relinquish its grip on his soul.Venerable Sybra - During the Vanquishing of the Horned God (during the Aschen War) in 307.M40, on the Dead World of Belphago, this Venerable Dreadnought sacrificed himself to rip a chunk of a Greater Daemon's body away in order to expose its blazing heart, so that his battle-brother, Librarian Malachite, would be able to kill the nigh-invulnerable Daemon.Battle-Brother Heliox - A Primaris Intercessor battle-brother of the 2nd Company, 3rd Squad (Battleline).Battle-Brother Pausanis - A Primaris Vanguard Infiltrator of the 10th Company, 4th Squad (Battleline).
