Dio Promus was the Chief Librarian of the Ultramarines during the Great Crusade. He voted in favor of a Legion Librarius during the Council of Nikaea.[1] He later was recruited into the Knights-Errant.[2b]

History

As a member of the Knights-Errant, Promus was tasked with Malcador to select Candidates for the Titan Project, killing those who were seen as too mentally weak.[2b] Promus went on to lead a mission at the orders of Malcador to recover the Shards of Magnus. Accompanied by Yasu Nagasena and a group of Space Wolves led by Bodvar Bjarki, their mission brought them to Kamiti Sona, Aghoru, and finally Nikaea against the Thousand Sons Cabal of Ahriman.[2a] On Nikaea Promus was struck down trying to fight a shard of Magnus where he was blasted by Magnus's power, but Yasu Nagasena stepped in to protect him from a swarm of daemons. After the shards of Magnus merged and left for the Planet of Sorcerers, Promus was confronted by Bjarki who learned of his past murders of loyalist Legionaries from Fatewoven. Promus admitted the daemon's claims were true to Bjarki but refused to explain the secrets he was bound to keep. On the orders of Bjarki Svafnir Rackwulf ended his life in response. His friend Lemuel Gaumon then took his name as his own.[2a]
