'''{{PAGENAME}}Lucius Antros''' is a [[Lexicanium]] in the [[Blood Angels]] [[Chapter]] and is the current protege of [[Chief Librarian]] [[Mephiston]]. He was present when [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] [[Devastation of Baal|invaded]] the [[Baal System]]{{Fn|1a}}, however the Lexicanum would not take part in most of the campaign against the [[Tyranids]]. Instead Antros was among the [[Librarian]]s chosen to aid Mephiston in a [[Warp]] ritual that would prevent the [[Bloodthirster]] [[Ka'Bandha]], from invading Baal as well. He was unaware though, that his inclusion in Mephiston's plan greatly annoyed the [[Epistolary]] [[Gaius Rhacelus]]. Gaius had always felt, that Antros was too ambitious for power and thought it was unseemly how the Lexicanum constantly fussed over Mephiston. The Epistolary had even brought his concerns about Antros to the Chief Librarian's attention, but Mephiston had ignored any criticisms about his protege. However when they ventured into [[Baal]]'s '''Cruor Mountains''', where the ritual would take place, Gaius forcibly rebuked himself for doubting Anthros{{Fn|1b}}. Later when the ritual began, a portal into [[Khorne]]'s kingdom was opened and Mephiston struck at Ka'Bandha, in the hopes of ending the [[Daemon]]'s threat before it could escape from the Warp. The Bloodthirster struck back however and then offered immortal life to any of the Librarians that revoked their vows to the [[Emperor]]. Though none answered, Anthros was falling under the Bloodthirster's sway, but luckily Gaius saw this and quickly told the Lexicanum not to fall for the [[Daemon]]'s false promises. This helped Anthros regain his senses, but his weakness left a flaw in the ritual and when Ka'Bandha attacked again, the Librarians collapsed and the Warp portal was closed. Many of the Liberians who took part in the ritual were killed by the ordeal, but it is not known if Antros was among their number.{{Fn|1b}}
