Victrix-B Gabriel

+++ ARCHIVE DESIGNATION: 999.M41 +++ +++ CLEARANCE: Macragge-Primus +++ +++ ORIGIN: Fortress of Hera +++ +++ SUBJECT: Gabriel – The Oathbound Anvil, Victrix Guard of Macragge +++ +++ AUTHOR: Lord Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines +++ Status: Purged, Redeemed, Reborn Once Gabriel of the Black Templars, scarred by Abaddon’s talon and marked with whispers of heresy, he was cast into the Deathwatch to die in silence. There, across a hundred shadow wars, his wrath was refined into mastery. His fury no longer burned wild—it struck with purpose. By the word of Chaplain Cassian, his name was cleared and his honor restored. Yet redemption did not end in the ranks of the line. His valor, tested and proven, brought him before the eyes of Cato Sicarius himself, and in time, before the judgment of Marneus Calgar. Now Gabriel serves as one of the Victrix Guard—an eternal sentinel of Macragge, guardian of the Lord of Ultramar, and shield to the sons of Guilliman. --- Arsenal of Duty Ferrum Fidelis – The penitent blade reforged, a relic chainsword of Ultramar, its teeth wreathed in gold etchings of victory and oaths of absolution. Veritas Ultima – The bolter once borne as his burden, now carried as a mark of trust. Each shell bears the sigil of Hera and the motto Fides Aeternum. Aegis Gabrielis – His tower shield of azure and gold, forged upon Hera’s anvil. Upon its inner face, the faint Templar cross remains—unseen by others, unforgotten by him. --- Aspect Silent and unyielding, Gabriel stands as a relic of two worlds—Templar fervor bound in Ultramarine steel. His oaths are few, his faith absolute. In the eyes of many, he is a symbol of redemption; in his own, a weapon awaiting purpose. --- Calgar’s Note > “There are few I would trust to stand before me in the moment of reckoning. Gabriel is one such warrior. His faith was tested, his loyalty reforged. He does not bear the sigil of Ultramar upon his heart for pride—but for penance."
