Ryarus

Ryarus was Apothecary of the Silver Skulls 4th Company, the quiet reductor who tattooed every recovered gene-seed name into his own skin.

He walked the Gildar Rift war beside Techmarine Correlan, speaking only when the squad needed the next hard order. Boarding actions on Corsair-held hulls and the later surface purge both ran through his narthecium.

Orks killed him in a last stand before the Rift read clean. The tattoos stayed; the Chapter kept the names he had already saved.
