Erasmus Tycho

Commander of the Blood Angels' 3rd Company, and later a Captain of the Blood Angels' Chapter, Tycho was instrumental in the Imperium's victory over the forces of the Orks during the Second War for Armageddon. In this conflict, half of his face got severely mutilated. From then on, Tycho wore a gold mask covering the afflicted half of his face. This incident is most likely based on the life of Tycho Brahe, the 17th Century philosopher whose nose was cut off in a swordfight. Like the Blood Angel Tycho, the astronomer wore a metallic prostheses to cover his face. Although it may be based upon a battle report between Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers in which a Blood Angels Captain named Erasmus Tycho was struck down by an Ork Weirdboy's psychic powers. Captain Tycho was slain during the Third War for Armageddon after succumbing to the Black Rage and joining the Blood Angels' Death Company.
