Vettranio Shapura[1]
Vettranio Shapura was a Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought of the Legio Custodes, holding the rank of Moritoi Prefectus of the Æranshahr Chamber. Shapura was a Prefect of the Legio during the Great Crusade who fell defending the Emperor of Mankind from a boarding attack by the Rykogene on the Bucephelus. He became the third or fourth Custodian ever placed in a Dreadnought and was awarded the Ferrum Aquila for his sacrifice, becoming a figure of some legend[1]. During the Horus Heresy, Shapura was among the Custodes' forces that took part in the Battle for Prospero.[2]
