Biography

Machon Phalaris was a Terran Legionary who served in the 22nd Chapter, known as the Nemesis Chapter. He was Captain of the First Destroyer Company when his predecessor died, succeeding him according to the Chapter's traditions as the senior captain.[1b]

During the Ultramarines' campaign against the orks of the Thoas Empire, Phalaris and the 22nd were involved in the purge of the Aletho System. In the final stages of the purge, the Chapter Master was aboard the Strike Cruiser Cavascor when it was rammed by an ork vessel. Phalaris lost his head in the battle on the bridge, along with four of his captains and most of the mortal bridge officers.[1a][1b]
