Ran Serastus is an Inquisitor who was sent by his Ordo, to the Crone World Belial IV during the Thirteenth Black Crusade, in order to discover what became of the archaelogica expedition lead there by Magos Tragan. Once he reached Belial IV, Serastus discovered that the Crone World had become a battleground between the Word Bearers and the Kabal of the Dying Sun, but this did not stop the Inquisitor and he infiltrated the world with his forces. However the Captain of the ship Serastus had used to reach Belial IV, did not feel the same and quickly departed from the Crone World, leaving the Inquisitor stranded. Despite this, Serastus continued his search for the Magos and later confirmed his colleagues' suspicions that Tragan and his expedition had been destroyed, though they had managed to uncover an ancient artefact, before they met their end. It had since been seized by the Word Bearers, who had begun constructing a shrine near the artefact, which prevented Serastus from studying it and determining exactly how the Magos had died.[1]

After witnessing the extent of the enemy forces on Belial IV, Serastus wrote a message to the Inquisition fortress on Alphus, claiming that due to the present situation, and the Crone World's troubled past history, the Astra Militarum should be sent to cleanse the blighted realm. Though he knew this would result in possibly billions of lives lost, he considered it a price worth paying due to the World Bearers' involvement. Before he finally sent the message, Serastus stated that since he was left stranded on the world, he would continue his mission and planned on infiltrating the Word Bearers' base around the artefact in order to study it. Serastus thought that with the Kabal constantly attacking the site, the Word Bearers would not notice his forces and if they did, he hoped he would at least uncover more information that could aid the Inquisition, before he died.[1]
