Uigui
Uigui was a water-seller who lived on Baal Secundus around the time of the Devastation of Baal.[1a]
At one time, Uigui's son, Teus, attempted to become an Aspirant of the Blood Angels. Although Teus was a suitable genetic match to be considered for gene-seed implantation, he fell at the Place of Challenge and suffered a brain injury.[1c] Although Teus survived, he was rejected and sent home with brain damage, which resulted in Uigui often abusing him as a failure.[1a]
Two years later[1c], he was one of the many civilians drafted to defend the Blood Angels' fortress-monastery on Baal from the invading tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan.[1b] He held the line alongside his son, with Teus saving Uigui's life more than once during the defence. Ultimately, however, Uigui was mortally injured by a tyranid parasite organism. As he lay dying, however, he saw his son become an angel: due to the losses sustained by the Sons of Sanguinius, every compatable Baalite youth was to be inducted in one of the Chapters of the Blood and so Teus was recruited by a passing Sanguinary Priest.[1c]
Appearance
As was typical for natives of Baal's moons, Uigui was disfigured by the radiation levels of the deserts. As a result, he was hunched and ugly. In addition, he had lost a finger to the reguliser Anton due to late payment of his debts.[1a]
