==Early life==

Born on [[Calth]] in 876.[[M41]], Uriel Ventris was raised on an underground farm and worked upon the land since the day he was able to walk. From the age of six, Ventris was recruited by the Ultramarines and trained at the [[Agiselus Barracks]] on Macragge; he graduated in 889.M41 and went on to complete his training at the [[Fortress of Hera]]. Nine years later, he became a full-fledged Marine in the [[Scout Squad|Scout]] [[Company]], and was finally inducted into the Fourth Company in 909.M41. During his training, he discovered he had a natural talent for war and swore to become the best warrior Macragge had ever seen².
