Captain Alcaeus^[2]

Alcaeus was a Captain in the Ultramarines Legion who took part in the muster at Calth, where the Ultramarines and Word Bearers were preparing to campaign against the Ghaslakh Ork incursion into the Veridian System. The Captain and his Company were sent ahead to scout out the Ork forces, but when Alcaeus arrived, he discovered that the Greenskins' numbers were significantly lower than the Ultramarines had expected. He was left confused by this and sent numerous messages back to his Legion, that were never answered, as the entire Ghaslakh Campaign had been a ruse and his Legion was fighting for its life in the Battle for Calth. What became of Alcaeus and his forces afterwards is unknown.^[1]
