Captain Feros levitas – Master of the Blades, Hero of Ansul


The young levitas was plagued by ravaging nightmares and rages as the chapters gene seed altered his body. It was a credit to his iron will that he came through at all. The side effects however left him with a feral temperament as he struggled to control the predator instincts. Brilliant and intellectual with animal like cunning in strategy, fearsome in combat as he strikes from the sky like a bird of prey

10th company under the watchful gaze of Sgt Fortune. Displayed talent for close quarter combat and infiltration.
9th company as a devestator upon induction as a full astartes. Forced to pay penance several times for not holding the line.
8th company in the squad of sgt Rokh, under the command of Captain Dakan. Awarded the iron skull on the plains of Vakash, displayed natural leadership skills when sgt Rokh was wounded and Levitas took temporary control for remainder of the campaign.
Several assault squads were sent to Targus to strengthen the losses in Captain Shrikes campaign against the Orks. Levitas caught the eye of Shrike after staging an ambush in which several high ranked Orks were taken out and the chain of command disrupted for the Xenos invaders.
Levitas is inducted into Shrikes elite wing and displays continued heroism during the lengthy Nimbosa campaign against the Tau. Levitas kill tally is second only to the esteemed captains. A strong sense of rivalry along with respect develops between Shrike and Levitas, the 3rd company captain sharing much of his knowledge and techniques, but warry of the tenatious pupil at his side.
Levitas takes part in the Haakan Unsul campaign, a joint venture with Raven Guard supporting a frontal attack from their fellow brothers the Red Talons. Iron Warriors have crippled the imperial city and taken it's streets. The battle is long and the 3rd and 8th Raven Guard infiltrate the city through the gardens of steel. The battle is won but the Iron Warrior lord escapes to his battle barge, and in a final act of defiance levels the city from orbit, most of the Red Talon 2nd company is wiped out. Levitas is awarded many honours for directing his brothers out of the city before it's obliteration. He is inducted into the chapters 1st company and leaves Shrikes wing.
A task force is assembled to hunt down the Iron Warriors. Sgt Levitas leads Terminator Close combat squads into the retreating chaos battle barge, Iron Hate. Loosing a lightning claw in the vicious combat and sustaining grave wounds.
On request Sgt Levitas was put in command of a vanguard squad, to support 8th Company Captain Dakan's pursuit of the Dark Eldar who were raiding the capital city on Eros. Dakan's assault troops were to find the pirates a terrible foe who's raids in the claustrophobic streets reaped a terrible toll on imperial forces. The Pirates had infact been in union with a Night Lords band who were wreaking havoc on the planet. Several squads from the 8th were wiped out or taken captive, including Captain Dakan. As the pirates celebrated amongst the cries of the wounded, Sgt Levitas rounded up the remainder of the 8th and led a covert strike to rescue the captives. Scouts from Sgt Fortunes squad detonated a supplies bunker while Levitas used the distraction to reap vengeance. Striking from the shadows and using all the teachings of Shrike to corner and confues his foe. The Eldar were routed, while the Night Lords vanished but Eros would never recover. The 8th company sustained over 87% damages and are still rebuilding the ranks. Captain Dakan was wounded beyond the chapters Apothocaries but lived on inside a mighty dreadnought. Sgt Levitas was awarded the Iron Halo and made captain of the 8th company. His first task to bring order to the troubled Hexperax system.
