==History==

[[image:40k-130-lucius-the-eternal.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Lucius the Eternal{{Fn|27}}]]

Over the course of thousands of years, Lucius hunted down and eliminated many great duelists. He defeated the [[Emperor's Champion]] of the [[Black Templars]] at [[Veilfate]], the [[Dark Eldar]] [[Archon]] [[Vraesque]] in cursed [[Shaa-dom]] and the [[Ork Warboss]] [[Two-klaws]] at [[Octarius Sigma]].{{Fn|15}} After a series of reversals had reduced the Cohors Nasicae to about twenty Space Marines,{{Fn|17b}} Lucius was forced to cooperate with Fabius to replenish his warband.{{Fn|17c}} In the process, he was able to merge his force into a greater warband known as the "[[Faultless]]".{{Fn|17d}} Ultimately, Lucius became part of Eidolon's [[Phoenix Conclave]] on [[Harmony]].{{Fn|19}}

Lucius would later appear at the head of an army of Emperor's Children during the [[13th Black Crusade]] of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]], inflicting untold suffering on the Imperial world of [[Belisar]].{{Fn|3}} He was also a commander in [[The Speartip Alliance]], an coalition of Chaos and [[Xenos]] forces during [[The Fall of Medusa V]].{{Fn|25}}

~~Recently, Lucius has organized a new larger warband dubbed the~~ By [[~~Faultless~~M42]] , Lucius continued to expand his Faultless warband and embarked on a self-indulgent crusade of violence across the [[Galaxy]]. He no longer remember how many times he has died and there are often large gaps in time between deaths that he cannot account for. His blessing has now become a curse, and each time he returns it wears away at his fragile sanity and pride. To Lucius, his deaths represent a foe that ~~blasted~~ bested him in battle and is now forever denied a chance to challenge them again.{{Fn|28}}

==Appearance and Wargear ==

The scarring on his face is self-inflicted. At one point he was a truly handsome man, but he resented being called "too pretty" by some of his fellow marines. His "perfect" features were forever marred after the sparring match with Loken; the Luna Wolf's punch had broken Lucius's nose{{fn|18}}, and - much to his fury - it had refused to set properly, despite the attentions of the Legion's apothecaries. Some time before Isstvan III, Lucius received a pair of scars across his cheeks from [[remembrancer]] [[Serena D'Angelus]], a painter in the [[28th Expedition Fleet|28th Expedition]] who had already been corrupted by Chaos, to remind him of Loken's insult to his perfection.{{fn|26a}} He subsequently marked himself with more scars to commemorate his victories, eventually creating an intricate network of scars distorting and deforming his features.{{fn|9a}}
