Sarpedon

Biography
Sarpedon is current Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers chapter who was exiled from the Imperium of Man. He was made Chapter Master by acclamation of his battle brothers after defeating Chapter Master Gorgoleon in an honor duel called the shield-rites.

During the duel his body mutated, growing 8 arachnoid legs. One was replace with a bionic leg after losing it to Vorp's, a champion of Nurgle.

Sarpedon had a Force Staff made of the now rare nalwood from Tanith. It was later replaced with the Howling Griffons Lord Librarian Mercaeno's Force Axe, after the staff was broken in a duel with the Librarian. During the duel, Mercaeno created his own version of the Hell and recreated the Throne-Temple of Periclitor (a powerful Daemon prince dispatched by Mercaeno himself). During the course of the duel, Sarpedon gains, loses and then regains control of the psychic world. Each time the controller changed, so did the environment the two fought in. The worlds recreated included, the Daemon World of Ve'meth, the Temple of Dorn aboard the Glory, and Stratix Luminae.

Ultimately, the two returned to the original location, the deck of the Herald of Desolation (a black ship incorporated into the Space Hulk Brokenback). There the duel continued until Mercaeno emerged victorious. Fortunately for Sarpedon, before Mercaeno can deliver the death-blow, he is killed by the Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers, Eumenes, wielding the Soulspear.
