Akeris
Akeris is a Black Templars Emperor's Champion who took part in the Third War for Armageddon and later joined High Marshal Helbrecht as he left to pursue the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, after he fled once the War turned against him. Akeris was later part of a task force, led by Chaplain Cotea, that tracked down an Ork Warband, which they thought might be led by the Warlord and attacked it. Akeris vowed to kill the Ork's leader and fought ferociously against the Xenos, which greatly aided the Black Templars in claiming victory. However, the Ork's leader, who they learned was Warboss Gorbag Gitburna, managed to escape as the task force was left too few in number to pursue him. In the aftermath of the battle, Cotea told Akeris that High Marshal Helbrecht would receive word of his valour against the Orks - after the Emperor's Champion completed his penance for not fulfilling his vow and killing the Warboss. Akeris gladly took the punishment and told the Chaplain to name his penance and he would undertake it willingly.[1]
