Ekene Dubaku
Ekene Dubaku was the Chapter Master of the Celestial Lions.[1]
He was one of the few survivors in his Chapter after they suffered horrific losses during the campaign against the Ork hordes of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka in the Third War for Armageddon. Dubaku later took command of the remnants of the Celestial Lions and led them to battle, along with the Black Templars and Armageddon Steel Legion, against the Ork forces of Warlord Thogfang in the Mannheim Gap. In the hard pressed battle that followed, Dubaku killed the Warlord and afterwards, he was selected by Black Templars High Marshal Halbrecht to become the new Chapter Master of the surviving Celestial Lions forces. As a sign of honor, Halbrecht gave him an ancient suit of Power Armour dating back to the Great Crusade.[1]
During a conclave with the Emperor's Spears Chapter, he was assassinated by a Callidus Assassin who had hidden among the servants of Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a Marine from the Mentor Legion.[2]
