Maxillus
Maxillus is a Space Marine of the Deathwatch, haling from the Ultramarines Chapter.[1]
Biograhpy
At some point, Maxillus and Courlanth served on the same Kill-Team. They participated in a Gaunt purge on the planet Masali, exterminating one of the frequent resurgences of Tyranids in the wake of the destruction of Hive Fleet Behemoth.[1]
Maxillus was one of the Marines stationed at Watch Fortress Zarabek when it was discovered by the Ordo Xenos that human pirates operating in the Teramus System somehow had access to functional Eldar lance weapons mounted on their ships. In a debate between the Marines present over the issue, Watch Captain Ska Mordentodt agreed to allow Sergeant Courlanth to assemble a kill-team and lead a mission into the Teramus system to uncover the source of the weapons and eliminate them; Maxillus was selected by Courlanth for the mission, partly because of the shared history between them.[1]
Courlanth led the Kill-Team in infiltrating the pirates' asteroid base and discovered that the pirate leader, Arlon Buke, had entered into a pact with the Dark Eldar of the Kabal of the Crimson Blossom. When he saw that the pirates were trading captured slaves to the xenos in exchange for weapons and drugs, Courlanth abandoned stealth and ordered an attack on the Kabal and the pirates alike. In the resulting battle, Maxillus was killed by the Dark Eldar's poisoned splinter weapons.[1]
Wargear
Maxillus was armed with a Crusade-pattern bolter.[1]
