Biography
In his service to the Crusade, Cassian was ordered to destroy the flesh-cults that had overthrown the Imperium's rule on Knossa and was given command of his own Primaris forces, as well as the Strike Cruiser Primarch's Sword. His forces were victorious in their efforts, but when they left Knossa the Primarch's Sword was struck by a Warpstorm that heavily damaged the Strike Cruiser and left Cassian and his Primaris brethren stranded in the Kalides System. With the damaged Primarch's Sword unable to enter the Warp, Cassian consulted with Librarian Keritraeus and Chaplain Dematris on their best course of action. After much consideration, it was decided they would go to the nearby Imperium world Kalides Prime, so they could repair the Primarch's Sword and rejoin the main forces of the Indomitus Crusade. Cassian also agreed with Chaplain Dematris that they might face a world in the grips of heresy, and the Lieutenant ordered his forces to prepare for battle as they began to travel to Kalides Prime.[1a]

After the long and bloody battle on the Kalides Prime with Death Guard traitors, mutants and daemons, Cassian managed to kill the Chaos Lord Gurloch and prevent the traitor's plans to unleash a psychic disease upon all the planets of the nearby sector. However, Cassian himself took a grievous wound so, after the arrival of the main forces of the Indomitus Crusade, he was revived and interred in a Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought sarcophagus.[1c]
