Lavestus
Lavestus was a member of the White Consuls Chapter who served in the Deathwatch as part of a Talasa Prime Kill-Team led by Captain Artemis[1a]. In his service to the Deathwatch, Lavestus took part in a mission that destroyed a Necron complex on the Tomb World Norantis XIX, which prevented the rest of the slumbering Xenos from awakening[2]. Sometime later, Lavestus' Kill-Team were called to meet with the Ordo Xenos Lord Inquisitor Kryptman and tasked with capturing alive several Genestealers from a Space Hulk that just emerged from the Warp. The Lord Inquisitor then planned to to use the Genestealers to drive Hive Fleet Leviathan into the Ork Empire of Octarius, thereby saving the Imperium worlds of the Ultima Segmentum from the Devourer's grasp. When Lavestus heard Kryptman's plan, he recoiled and said it was a vial affront to the Emperor, but was forced to pledge his support when Captain Artemis gave his word to carry out Kryptman's mission[1a]. After they boarded the Space Hulk, the Kill-Team succeeded in their mission, but Lavestus was killed when he was swarmed by a horde of Genestealers — despite Artemis' best efforts to save him.[1b]
