Helveticus[1]

Ancient Helveticus was an Ultramarine Space Marine and the Bearer of the Banner of Macragge.

Helveticus bore the Chapter Banner of the Ultramarines during the Battle of Macragge, and was present aboard Marneus Calgar's Battle Barge when it was boarded by Tyranid attackers. He led the counter-attack against the boarding creatures, and was killed in the subsequent battle, both fatally poisoned and burned. His grip upon the shaft of the Banner was said to be so tight, that it could not initially be pried from his hands even after death.[Needs Citation]
