Remus Ventanus
Captain of the 4th Company, Saviour of Calth
Also known as Saviour of Calth, Captain Ventanus
Homeworld: Macragge
Remus Ventanus captained the Ultramarines Fourth and became the officer Calth could not afford to lose. Gage had given him the sword Phaethon for a company that was supposed to be an administrative lesson. The Word Bearers turned it into a war for the data-grid, the arcologies, and whoever was left when Veridia started killing the sky.
He refused Cxir's surrender, killed Samus with the apostle's own athame, and kept the underground war coherent long enough for a planet to remain a planet. Years later he planted a taken standard in the rock of Colchis and marched the Fourth for Calth one last time.
His tomb on Calth still mattered in M41. The spirit in black plate pressed the Shard of Erebus into Uriel Ventris's hand and named M'Kar for what he had been. Duty, in Ventanus's case, did not end in the cave.
