Changes

These warriors are revered as the foremost [[Battle Company]] warriors and uphold the finest traditions of their chapter, serving as a shining example to the rest of the Chapter. They are also the most likely warriors to be elevated to [[Space Marine Veteran]]. The Ultramarines 2nd Company is renowned for heroics that border on reckless, something which has earned censure from [[Marneus Calgar]] on multiple occasions. The warriors of the 2nd Company storm into the fray with the speed of a lightning strike; they formulate battle plans so risky and demanding that few other warriors would even countenance putting them into practice. They rely upon the element of surprise and their overwhelming post-human strength to utterly crush enemy resistance and seize victory for [[Ultramar]], often before their enemies even realize that the battle has begun. Yet the 2nd Company are anything but foolhardy. They fight in this fashion only because they know that they possess the discipline, will and martial skill to prevail. Because of their achievements, they were given the honor honour of guarding the Shrine of the Primarch prior to [[Roboute Guilliman|Guilliman's]] return.{{Fn|1}}

During the late [[M41|41st Millennium]] the 2nd Company was led by the legendary [[Cato Sicarius]], but he was lost in the [[Warp]] for many years and was replaced by Captain [[Acheran]]. Sicarius eventually returned towards the end of the [[Indomitus Crusade]], though he was inducted into the [[Victrix Guard]].{{Fn|2}}
