Ultramarines 3rd Company - Notable Members: Captain Mikael Fabian - It was then-3rd Company Captain Jehnnus Ardias who first honoured his warriors by taking the company's Codex Astartes-designated heraldic colour and working it into his personal heraldry. This tradition has been maintained ever since, with the current commander of the 3rd Company, Captain Mikael Fabian, proving no exception. Fabian is a hard-headed and stubborn warrior whose xenophobic hatred is so pronounced that it knows few equals, even amongst the alien-hunting specialists of the Ordo Xenos, and a direct man who prefers thorough and straightforward solutions. He is more than happy to unleash overwhelming force in order to make absolutely sure that an alien infestation has been eradicated, and favours the deployment of Flamer weaponry, Land Raider Redeemers and copious Hellfire rounds. For all his stern intractability, Captain Fabian expects all of his warriors to be forthright with him in sharing their strategic appraisal of the developing battlefield situation, and has been known to shift plans on the advice of a single well-placed Battle-Brother.Captain Jehnnus Ardias - Ardias was Mikael Fabian's predecessor as the commander of the Ultramarines 3rd Company. Ardias led his company against the T'au but later negotiated a ceasefire with them when Planetary Governor Meyloch Severus of Dolumar IV aligned himself with the daemon Tarkh'ax and the Word Bearers. Ardias forced an override in the communications of a T'au Fire Warrior named La'Kais and guided him against the Word Bearers and subsequently helped Kais by holding off Tarkh'ax until Kais destroyed the daemon. Ardias also commanded Strike Force Ardias during the Joran VI Retaliation where the Ultramarines fought against the Traitor Marines. His task force was deployed on the Strike Cruiser Fist of Ultramar. Despite his prior aid to them, Captain Ardias was later seriously injured battling the T'au during the Damocles Crusade in 745.M41.Techmarine Achellus - Achellus served in the Ultramarines 3rd Company, under Captain Jehnnus Ardias, when the company was stationed aboard the Imperial Navy's Emperor-class Battleship the Enduring Blade, flagship of Battlefleet Ultima Primus, when it received a request for aid from the planet Dolumar IV, which was being attacked by the T'au. Once there the Ultramarines prepared to battle the T'au, who had managed to board the Enduring Blade; but Epistolary Delpheus, plagued by visions that a more powerful enemy would show itself aboard the ship, managed to convince his old friend Ardias that they needed to save their strength and avoid fighting the T'au. Ardias was convinced by Delpheus and ordered his company to stay where they were and let Captain Mito and the Raptors Chapter's 5th Company, who were also stationed aboard the Enduring Blade, deal with the T'au. This would prove fortunate as when the battlefleet was forced to open diplomatic talks with the T'au, the Heretic Meyloch Severus, Planetary Governor of Dolumar IV, would complete a Chaos ritual that summoned a warhost aboard the Enduring Blade that soon overran the doomed ship. Ardias gave the order to evacuate the Enduring Blade and Achellus managed to escape with Ardias and his company before it was destroyed and take part in the the ensuing battle when the Chaos warhost invaded Dolumar IV. On that world Achellus joined Veteran Sergeant Larynz's squad as they charged a pit held by the Iron Warrior Pereduz and a group of Chaos Space Marines. When they arrived the pit was empty save for a device buried into the sand that filled it. As Achellus examined the device, Pereduz, hidden nearby, activated it, resulting in a massive explosion that instantly killed Achellus, Larynz and their squad.Torus: Torus is the Ultramarines 3rd Company's Champion.
