===The XIIth Squad of the Sacred Band===

The men who led the Brothers of Death were among the most durable warriors in the [[Sacred Band]]. Their squads were brutally effective at hive clearing, utilizing flamers and noxious chem grenades developed with input from their own researchers to cause chaos within the structures before marching in themselves. Even for the Astartes, these methods were extremely risky, but none could deny the XIIth's effectiveness, and Hektor himself came to be an admirer of their apparent courage. The squad received numerous accolades during the Unification Wars, which they received with characteristic humility.
