Cerantes
Cerantes was a Captain in the Ultramarines Legion during the Horus Heresy; he was later given the title Lieutenant-Commander when he led a battlegroup against the Warmaster's forces. However, during their campaign, the battlegroup was imprisoned by the Necron Lord Trazyn the Infinite, who used a Tesseract Labyrinth to place them in stasis vaults beneath his fortress on Solemnace. They were kept in Trazyn's collection of beings who had garnered the Necron Lord's interest until the Thirteenth Black Crusade began. When Abaddon the Despoiler personally led the Chaos forces invading Cadia to battle, Trazyn, who had come to the beleaguered world's defense, sought to aid the Imperium's shattered forces. After throwing a Tessereact Labyrinth near the Despoiler, the Necron Lord unleashed an army composed of the Imperium warriors he had captured, Cerantes's battlegroup among them[1a]. Only a second had passed for Cerantes, since his capture and though he realized something was amiss, he immediately led his battlegroup against the Despoiler's forces, as they wore the symbols of Chaos. The Lieutenant-Commander soon clashed with Abaddon himself, but was no match for the master of the Black Legion, who easily killed Cerantes. Though they fought on after his death, Cerantes's battlegroup soon fell to the Black Legion as well.[1b]
