Decario
Decario is the Chief Librarian of the Relictors chapter and was the first member of his Chapter to make use of daemon weapons against the forces of Chaos.[1][2a]
History
The Relictors, then known as the Fire Claws, mobilised to intercept a badly damaged Space Hulk named the Captor of Sin as it left warp space near the Stygies System.[2a][2b] Decario, Inquisitor de Marche and Terminator Assault Squads entered the hulk and encountered the forces of a renegade warband led by a Tzeentchian champion named the Excoriator. De Marche was badly wounded by the champion and Decario's Force Sword was broken but he managed to use his Power Fist to rip the Excoriator's sword arm from its socket. Even so, the Excoriator went on to kill another four terminators and force Decario to the ground. Decario muttered a prayer to the Emperor and reached out for the nearest weapon, picking up the Daemon Sword of the Excoriator and beheading him.[1][2a]
From that moment on Decario sensed he could use these weapons against Chaos. De Marche warned Decario to put the sword down, as he was the only one in the party who could control the powers held within the daemon sword. Decario handed over the weapon but would never be free of the power he felt he could wield with it. De Marche had similar feelings to Decario and together they convinced the Chapter Master of this and they embarked on a crusade to locate similar relics which they could use against Chaos, around the Eye of Terror.[1][2a]
