Cladius

Space Marines Portal Ultramarines

Cladius was a Sergeant in the Ultramarines Legion who took part in the Battle for Calth during the Horus Heresy.^[1]

When Calth's sun began giving off deadly radiation during the battle, Cladius led his squadron underground for the safety of the planet's arcologies. Unfortunately, the Word Bearer Sergeant Herxes had the same goal and their two forces clashed as they raced each other to escape the deadly radiation now scouring Calth's surface. In the fierce battle that followed, Cladius and his squadron were able to deal severe losses to Herxes's forces but were ultimately all killed, while Herxes led what remained of his squadron to the safety of the arcologies.^[1]
