Editing Hyperion (section)

==History==
=== Lowly Beginnings ===
Born Zael Effernetti, a low hiver on Eustis Majoris. Addicted to flect, a psychoactive drug, Zael did whatever he could to score his next hit. It was by chance that Inquisitor [[Ravenor]] and his followers were on the planet at the same time, investigating the flect trade as part of a larger conspiracy. They came across Zael and roped him into being used as a means to infiltrate the local flect trade. It was at this time Zael's latent psychic powers began to be seen. Somehow the regular round-ups of pskyers had missed him. Ravenor, unlike many Inquisitors, did not [[Blam!]] him without a second thought, but instead took him under his wing, hoping to use his talents for his own means. He had discovered Zael was a mirror psyker, able to passively pick up messages and then resend them - just the kind of talent an Inquisitor could appreciate. Given his latent psychic power, Zael was sent off to join the Grey Knights after Ravenor was declared renegade, which worked out okay for him. After going through the many trials a Grey Knight initiate must face, he was given the name Hyperion. The Grey Knights rediagnosed his powers as a form of psychic parasitism - apparently a defensive reflex for an untrained psyker. After being unlocked and trained by the Grey Knight's, he gained competence in a broad swathe of skills, preferring pyrokinesis and telekinesis in battle.

=== First War of Armageddon and the Trolling of Angron ===
Barely had Hyperion had time to warm his suit of new Terminator armour when he and a Grey Knights force assisting an [[Ordo Malleus]] investigation discovered that a massive invasion of the important world [[Armageddon]] was underway by the traitor Primarch [[Angron]], lord of the [[World Eaters]] [[Chaos Space Marine]]s. Responding to an urgent plea for assistance from [[Logan Grimnar]], [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Space Wolves]], the Grey Knights assembled a force of 109 warriors from wherever they could, travelled to Armageddon and teleported right into the midst of the Chaotic host and directly attacked Angron and his [[Bloodthirster]] bodyguards (this was actually a demand of Logan, in order to spare the population of the Hive Cities that hadn't been tainted by Chaos from seeing the Grey Knights and having to be subject to subsequent purging).

What followed was a battle that alone could make fan boys weep and be worthy of a [[Games Workshop]] Summer campaign. Hyperion's squad battled Angron and was made into chow by the traitor and his giant Black Blade. Hyperion, showing what a true hero can do, stood over a wounded battle brother trying to protect him. Using all his power to strike at the fallen Primarch, Hyperion shattered the dark sword of the daemon prince and instantly earned near limitless respect points for his act. Let's remind the reader that he was barely out of training at the time and facing a foe even the other Primarchs would struggle against.

Now while some people might call bullshit on such a feat, it should be noted that Angron was already being savaged by other Grey Knights at this time and artillery strikes were raining down on him. Additionally, Hyperion was noted to be an exceptionally strong psyker (he was only about a year into service and was already outpacing his squad's Justicar in some respects). Hyperion didn't actually ''defeat'' the Primarch in any measurable capacity, though breaking his sword allowed Captain Taremar Aurelian to banish Angron to the Warp in return for his own life. Channeling all that energy <s>knocked him unconscious</s> literally cracked his skull and fried parts of his brain, [[Awesome|but that didn't stop him from searching for his missing brothers after waking up hours later, before finally collapsing into a coma after coming back aboard his ship]]. He ended up having to get [[Iron Hands|half his face replaced with metal after it]].

For this act, the Space Wolves gave him the cool title of 'Bladebreaker', which is known to make [[Sisters of Battle]] swoon in his presence, and is probably the only reason why [[Logan Grimnar]] refrained from killing him like he had with the Inquisitors and other Grey Knights, and instead [[troll|merely kicked his ass]].

Interestingly, on returning to Titan after the [[Armageddon#The_Months_of_Shame|Months of Shame]], Hyperion reflected that he agreed with neither side of the conflict totally, seeing both sides as having flawed arguments. He tended to fall in more with the Inquisition's pragmatic approach over the Wolves' idealism but he saw how heavy-handed the Inquisition's response had been. This instantly makes him quite likable because, while he may follow orders like a soldier, he is shown to have his own opinions and to realize when his superiors are being dicks, thus proving he has the greatest trait forgotten about in the 40k setting: that he can think. Thus he is one of only four Grey Knights that [[/tg/]] considers notably awesome. The other 3 are [[Arvann Stern|Brother-Captain Stern]], [[Castellan Crowe]], and, of course, [[Justicar Alaric]]. [[Anval Thawn|Thawn]] is still up for debate; we need more evidence. Then again, considering how few characters in the chapter have received any meaningful fluff, that's not too bad a number.

=== A higher calling ===
Eventually Hyperion was promoted to the Chapter's Librarius and soon began training to be a member of the Prognosticars. Enjoying a lengthy career, by the end of the 41st millennium, he was beginning to train new brothers to be Prognosticars. His BFF is his former battle brother from his old squad, who is now a Grey Knight [[Techmarine]].

And it was by then he began sensing the galaxy was sliding into Chaos and that shit was going to get fucked up.....
