History

Spoiler!
This page contains spoilers for: The Chapter's Due (Novel)

An exceptional close combat specialist, Nero first distinguished himself during the Second Battle of Pavonis, as part of a raiding party infiltrating the Tau headquarters camp.[1]

As part of Uriel's Command Squad, Nero joined the defense of Calth from the invasion of the Bloodborn in late 999.M41. When the Captain tracked the Warsmith Honsou to the underground tomb of Remus Ventanus, the Ultramarines were attacked by the Blade dancers of Xiomagra. The Mistress of the Blade dancers was far too fast for Uriel, but Nero stepped in and not only saved his life, but defeated Xiomagra with apparent ease.[2b]

Nero survived the collapse of the cavern engineered by Honsou, though he was grieved when his custom-made power sword was broken by the rockfall.[2c]
