Athellenas was a Space Marine Commander of the Black Templars Chapter.[1]

He led a Templars detachment on the planet Empyrion IX against a horde of Khornate Chaos Cultists led by the Manskinner. Rather than facing all 6,000 heretics in open battle, Athellenas instead led repeated strikes against the cultists' vanguard troops before withdrawing. As a result, the cultists became so enraged and bloodthirsty that they turned on each other. Athellenas and the Templars were able to mop up the surviving cultists with ease.[1]
