Italeo was a Tribune within the the Adeptus Custodes and commanded the Custodes who protected the Imperial Palace's outer walls, during the fifth year of the Thirteenth Black Crusade[1a]. He was later mortally wounded while fighting in the Second Battle of Terra, but managed to kill one of the Bloodthirsters leading Khorne's forces, before he died. Following Italeo's death, Maldovar Colquan was chosen to replace him as Tribune.[1b]
