Calix was a Space Marine of the Black Templars Chapter.[1]

He was a relative novice when he fought the forces of Warboss Ghazghkull during the Third War for Armageddon, while piloting his modified Stormtalon Gunship, the Vault of Heaven. When the Orks struck Hive Helsreach, Calix's squadron of Stormtalons were charged with protecting its upper spires from Ork Bommers. The pilots were able to hold out against the Orks' aircraft for two weeks, but the Xenos' superior numbers took a heavy toll on the squadron. Soon only Calix was left alive, but he continued to strike out at the Xenos and managed to destroy a vast Ork carrier ship, before his Stormtalon was wrecked by anti-air fire. As the Vault of Heaven fell out of the skies, Calix was able to make an emergency landing at the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant and he made his last stand against the Orks, while fighting alongside Chaplain Grimaldus, when Warboss Ghazghkull's forces stormed the temple.[1]
