Icarus Kallus

To facilitate the interstellar conquests of the First Legion a fleet was required and every fleet required an admiral to guide it. For the Iron Revenants this was Icarus Kallus, an experienced void commander who acknowledged no equals outside of the Primarchs. An arrogant attitude to be sure but one earned by the metal carcasses of a thousand fleets.

History
His origins lie in the Jovian Moons, raised aboard ships and stations he was accustomed to void travel and hardship in equal measure. It is no surprise then that he was an ideal candidate for Astartes training and augmentation. His meteoric rise began when the frigate he was aboard was attacked during transit to join the rest of the First Legion by Ork Freebootas. The Captain of his company and many of sergeants gave their lives to defend the new recruits leaving Icarus to rally his brothers to not only retake their ship but counterboard and plant charges in the Greenskin vessel’s reactors.

For his valor and leadership he was promoted to Sergeant and kept aboard ships given the natural affinity for them. Over the latter half of the great Crusade he ascended the Legion hierarchy until gaining the attention of the Primarch Araphel named him Master of the Sixth Chapter, the Revenants’ void warfare specialists, and made him the Legion’s Master of the Fleet.

Icarus flourished in his position of authority, wielding battle groups with the same precision as a duelist with his blade. He would put his skills to devastating use in the heavens over Keld’abe at the dawn of the Ruins.
