Nero Vipus

Nero Vipus is a sergeant of the Luna Wolves, later Sons of Horus, who commanded Locasta Squad of the Tenth Company. He served as one of the Legion’s junior officers during the opening years of the Horus Heresy. Vipus is recorded as a close companion of Captain Garviel Loken, with whom he shared a long-standing friendship dating from earlier campaigns of the Great Crusade.

Within the narrative of the Horus Heresy, Vipus’s career is bound closely to that of Loken and the Tenth Company. He took part in the Legion’s operations during the Isstvan system campaign, in which loyalist and traitor elements of the assembled taskforce were still nominally united under Horus’s command.
