History

Spoiler!

This page contains spoilers for:

Deus Encarmine (Novel)

The Dark Apostle of the Ninth Host of Warmaster Garand, Iskavan was also a Champion of Chaos. Under Garand's orders, Iskavan led the Word Bearers strike force on Cybele against the token garrison of the Blood Angels stationed there.^[1a][2]

Iskavan was unaware, however, that his attack was simply part of a greater scheme to corrupt the entire Blood Angels chapter, a scheme that required the sacrifice of him and his men. When he realized this, Iskavan attempted to escape Cybele, but was killed by Arkio the Blessed, an act that bolstered the young Blood Angel's growing reputation.^[2]
