Tyberos

Tyberos, "The Red Wake" was the Force Commander of the Carcharodons Space Marine Chapter during their unlooked-for and savage intervention in the Badab War. He often lead his brethren Terminators of the elite 1st Company in bloody assault after bloody assault, carving a path of mangled corpses through the rebel forces of the Badab campaign.

History
During the Badab War, the mysterious Chapter known as the Carcharodons arrived without warning in the Maelstrom Zone in 910.M41, unlooked for by either the Loyalists or Secessionist forces. The sudden appearance of their fleet on the edge of the Golgothan Wastes initially caused considerable alarm on both sides. Led by their baleful 'First Captain' Tyberos, also known as "The Red Wake", the Carcharodons were the subject of considerable suspicion by the Loyalists upon their arrival. Surprisingly, their presumed commander Tyberos offered his cooperation with the Inquisitor Legate responsible for prosecuting the Badab War as well as Lord Commander Carab Culln of the Red Scorpions Chapter and overall commander of the Astartes forces. Tyberos presented them with Notices Patent provided to his Chapter, affirming its rights and titles issued by several High Lords of Terra and Inquisitors now long dead. To verify his identity, Tyberos even submitted personally to psychic probing and gene-sampling by the Inquisitor Legate's staff. Entering their final bitter stages of the campaign both the Inquisitor Legate and Lord Commander Culln knew that such a force would prove invaluable in pressing the attack and bringing the conflict to a swift and absolute conclusion.

The Inquisitor Legate vouched for the Chapter and Lord Commander Culln accepted the Carcharodons into his line of battle, though he was still wary of their loyalties and deeply concerned that their long voyages into the darkness of the outer void had seemed to cause them to deviate from the Codex Astartes significantly. Despite misgivings as the Carcharodons methods, Culln was unable to deny the Chapter's effectiveness. During this conlfict, Tyberos gained a dark fame for his brutal combat prowess and the two unique, ancient relic-gauntlets with which he carved a path of mangled and shredded corpses through the Secessionist forces. Tyberos led his elite Terminator squad in bloody assault after bloody assault, their savagery unmatched throughout the Badab War. Those that witnessed the ferocity of the Carcharodons' commander tell of a blood-splattered killing machine that left a path of destruction and mangled bodies in his wake. Based upon the battle barge Nicor, Tyberos was often seen at the forefront of every assault leading the Nicor, the Chapter’s veterans of the elite 1st Company. This Assault Terminator squad was equipped with Lightning Claws and led by their deadly commander in bloody assaults against those that would defy the will of the Emperor.

Appearance
Never seen outside of his archaic suit of Terminator armour, when revealed his face was a corpse-white nightmare with half the bones of his face exposed in a bloodless grimace, his eyes were a soulless, depth-less black. When he communicated with the other Loyalist commanders during the conflict, he spoke no more than a soft whisper that carried with it the promise of death.

Wargear

 * Hunger & Slake - Tyberos' Terminator armour is equipped with a pair of unique power weapons with which he has developed a murderous degree of skill. Named 'Hunger' and 'Slake', each of these heavy gauntlet-like devices of uncertain origin combine barbed power-blades and an inner maw fitted with mechanized adamantine teeth. Their pattern and manufacture are unknown to the Adepts of Mars. With these weapons, Tyberos counts as being equipped with both a Chainfist and a Lightning Claw, and is able to divide up his close combat attacks freely between these two weapon types.
