Keetan Ashtar
Keetan Ashtar is a Captain in the Red Consuls Chapter, who served in the Indomitus Crusade.[1]
He is known to have a wry sense of humor, that is rare among Space Marines; especially one as uniformly grim as the Red Consuls. After the rebirth of the Primarch Guilliman, Ashtar took part in the Terran Crusade, where he became close friends with the White Consuls Captain Messinius. He would later take part in the Battle of Lion's Gate and afterwards, Ashtar served in the security force that watched over the now Lord Commander Guilliman. It was composed of Space Marines that survived the Terran Crusade and was commanded by Messinius, until the security force was disbanded as the Indomitus Crusade prepared to begin. Lord Guilliman would then personally meet with each of the security members who were Captains and informed them he needed their experience to guide the newly unleashed Primaris Space Marines, as they took part in the Crusade. During his meeting with Guilliman, Ashtar was assigned to one of the Crusade's Fleets and as he left, the Captain ran into Messinius. The White Consul was next to meet with Guilliman and Ashtar warned his friend about what the meeting would be about. Messinius replied that he hoped they would meet each other again after the Crusade was ended, though, both knew this was not likely to happen. Ashtar then told Messinius it had been an honor to serve with him and the White Consul returned the compliment. Before Ashtar then left for his Crusade Fleet, Messinius told the Captain to try not to get killed; as there were now too few warriors left who had his integrity.[1]
