Excorius
Excorius was the Captain of the Relictors Chapter's Third Company, active in M33.[1][Conflicting sources]
In 112.M33, Excorius led his Company in the Feral War, against the psykers of the planet Aggaros. Fighting through the tribes' pyrokinetic shamans, the Relictors uncovered a hidden, ancient city full of statues of the Thousand Sons, each facing an obsidian pyramid bearing a statue of Ahzek Ahriman. Excorius ordered the Chaos monument torn down, resulting in the Relictors being ambushed by the statues themselves - in actuality Rubric Marines. In the ensuing battle the Space Marines, including Excorius, were killed.[1]
