Nemetus
Nemetus is a Primaris Ultramarines Lieutenant, who serves under Captain Aeschelus, as part of the Indomitus Crusade's Battle Group Faustus.[1]
He became an Ultramarine and began training for a command position, during the Indomitus Crusade and was among those sent to reinforce Fleet Quintus. Nemetus was then among the Ultramarines that joined the newly formed Battle Group Faustus, and he became a Lieutenant to their Captain, Aeschelus. Like Nemetus, Aeschelus had received his training during the Crusade and the two were eager to make up for the setbacks Fleet Quintus had suffered. In doing so, they hoped to prove their worth in the eyes of Lord Commander Guilliman. However they were joined by Lieutenant Praxamedes, who had served with Quintus since the launching of the Crusade and had developed a pessimistic outlook due to the heavy casualties the Fleet had suffered. Praxamedes soon became a gainsayer and questioned any decisions made by Aeschelus and Nemetus, that he felt were reckless. This led the disapproving Captain to give Nemetus battle command when they went to war and left Praxamedes to oversee these battles. However while publicly he rebuffed Praxamedes' constant questioning of their decisions, Nemetus would admit to himself that some of the senior Lieutenant's criticisms bit deeply.[1]
