Vexos
Vexos is an Ultramarines Techmarine. He was part of his Chapter's forces sent with elements of the Imperial Navy to aid the Imperium world Congregus after it was invaded by the Ork Rok fleet of the Warboss Grozbok. The Warboss' Rok fleet completely devastated Congregus, after they crashed into the world and caused its surface to fragment and spew forth large amounts of magma. After the magma stopped flowing, only a few islands were left standing in a sea of fire and they contained what remained of the world's cities and fortifications. These islands became targets for Grozbok's surviving forces and Vexos and his squadron flew dozens of sorties, in their Stormhawk Interceptors, against the Warboss' Orks to protect them. The squadron laid waste to an impressive amount of Ork aircraft however, it was Vexos's actions during the invasion of the island Fragment IX, that caused the Techmarine to rise to fame; after he single handedly, downed a whole mob of marauding Dakkajets. After that heroic feat, the Techmarine became the de facto leader of the Imperium's air forces on Congregus and in recognition of this, Vexos and his squadron were awarded the Iron Laurel honour marking, on their Interceptors' hulls.[1]
