Revision as of 16:21, 8 April 2014


For characters in the Soul Drinkers series. There will be spoilers, but those from Hellforged and Phalanx will be marked.

Soul Drinkers

Sarpedon

A Librarian who lead the Soul Drinkers against the Imperium, and later succeeded Gorgoleon as Chapter Master. Suffered mutations that gave him spider legs.

Luko

A Tactical Sergeant in the Old Chapter, later promoted to Captain and emerges as Sarpedon's right hand man.

Graevus

An Assault Sergeant of the Soul Drinkers. Suffered a mutation that caused his right hand to grow massive in size.

Salk

A Tactical Sergeant. Suffered a metabolic mutation.

Tellos

An Assault Sergeant in the Old Chapter. Lost his hands at the Lakonia Star Fort against the Adeptus Mechanicus, and nerve damage prevented augmentics from being applied, so he later jammed Chainswords into the stubs to continue fighting. His mutation kept the swords in place, and gave him a healing powers beyond that of a normal Marine, but also turned him into a berserk fighter who had to be dragged from fights. Turned against the Soul Drinkers at Stratix Luminae, following Khorne. Killed when Entymion IV was subjected to Exterminatus.

Pallas

De facto Chief Apothecary of the Soul Drinkers. Suffered a mutation resulting in scales developing across his skin.

  • The Atoner: For siding with Eumenes during the Second Chapter War.
  • Body Horror: Scales begin growing across his skin.
  • Combat Medic
  • Half the Man He Used To Be: Cut in half by Abraxes sword.
  • Odd Friendship: He has two examples:
    • With Tellos: Pallas was an Apothecary dedicated to healing, while Tellos was a One-Man Army dedicated to killing. Yet Tellos's death ultimately drove Pallas to side with Eumenes in the Second Chapter War.
    • With Luko. Pallas was one of the most notable Veterans to join Eumenes, yet Luko was Sarpedon's strongest supporter, and was ready to kill Eumenes under a flag of truce. Yet when Pallas is killed, Luko realized that Pallas was his friend, and was genuinely anguished that he was dead.
  • Was It Really Worth It?: He keeps asking himself if rebelling against the Imperium was worth the losses the Soul Drinkers have suffered, and eventually decided that it was the price they paid for freedom.

Lygris

A Techmarine and de facto Master of the Forge for the Soul Drinkers.

Iktinos

Sole remaining Chaplain, leaving him de facto High Chaplain of the Soul Drinkers. Is manipulating the Chapter toward some goal in the service of an unknown master.

Tyrendian

A Librarian in the Soul Drinkers who can manipulate electricity. He often serves as a Foil to Sarpedon, playing the Devil's advocate.

Gresk

A Soul Drinker Librarian who can increase the reaction time of his brothers. Sides with Eumenes during the Chapter War, but deliberately allows Sarpedon to escape a trap, for which he is killed.


Karraidin

A Captain of the Soul Drinkers, who possesses one of the few remaining suits of Terminator Armour the Chapter has. Later appointed Master of Novices, and killed by his former apprentices during the Second Chapter War.

Eumenes

A Soul Drinker scout, part of the first generation recruited by the Soul Drinkers after their break with the Imperium. Coming from a world whose resources were stripped by the Imperium, his hatred of the Imperium lead him to rebel against Sarpedon, leading to the Second Chapter War.

Raek

A Scout-sniper. Later made a Scout Sergeant.

Nisryus
