Hecaton Aiakos

Known as the Guardian of the Daedelos Krata, and the "Terror of Bifrost," Hecaton Aiakos is a Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought of the Minotaurs Chapter. As with much that surround this mysterious Chapter, the history and perhaps even the true name of the being entombed within this ornate Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought is shrouded in mystery.

History
Hecaton Aiakos served at the forefront of a dozen of the Chapter's major campaigns over the last several centuries, having been identified by his distinctive heraldry of the Battle of Optera during the boarding assault on the Lamenters Chapter Strike Cruiser Mater Suspiria during the Badab War, the defence of the Black Gates of Hive Vitria against the Genestealer Cult of the Dreaming Deeps and, perhaps infamously, he was at the forefront of the slaughter of the "Traitor 2-19th" during the Bifrost Uprising. In this last battle Aiakos gained notoriety beyond his Chapter when a detachment of Bifrost Huscarl infantry, under the brevet command of Brother-Sergeant Augustine of the Viper Legion Space Marines, mistakenly fired on the battle-damaged and gore-drenched Minotaurs Dreadnought. So provoked, Aiakos rampaged through the Imperial lines, killing thirty-seven Huscarls and Augustine himself in his fury, and ripped open a supporting Leman Russ Tank which had tried to stop him, before obeying a countermand Vox order issued from orbit by his Chapter Master Asterion Moloc to stay his hand. Despite his power and battlefield record, as with many of the Dreadnoughts who operate in the ranks of the Minotaurs Chapter, outsiders have noted Aiakos is treated without the due reverence that other Space Marine Chapters display toward their Dreadnoughts. Instead cold indifference is displayed to him by his fellow Battle-Brothers.
