Caltus
Caltus was a 55th Kappic Eagles Tempestor Prime who led several of its squadrons in aiding the 92nd Cadian Regiment's Delta Company during its defense of the Imperium Hive Alarum. The Hive was being attacked by the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue and during the battle with the Dark Eldar, Caltus and a Kappic Eagles squadron were able to launch an attack that killed the Kabal's Archon, Witherchill, and his Incubi bodyguard. However, the battle then turned against the Guardsmen and they suffered massive causalities at the hands of the Dark Eldar, including all of Delta Company's commanding officers, and Caltus himself was liquefied by a Grotesque. Near the battle's end, the Kappic Eagles Tempestor Soth found himself the only ranking officer left in the battle and was forced to give the remaining Guardsmen the order to retreat from the Hive.[1]
