Even past the day of his disappearance into the Warp, Sebastion's face was known to no one; all those who had fought with him and lived through the Great Crusade were long past dead. He is never seen outside of his armor except when within the confines of his personal quarters; as such, he has rarely been seen to partake in food or drink. Shorter than most of his brothers at little over the height of a standard human, Sebastion was a man possessed of a glorious purpose that drove his every action. Uncommonly, his grey eyes could be seen through the occularium of his helmet, seeming to constantly be in a state of deep-thought or contemplative planning.

The Jester's Cap, as his helm had been dubbed when it had been ritualistically locked upon his head, is a technological miracle, incorporating a far more advanced sensor suite than a normal Marine's helmet; this suite allows him to access the helmet feeds of the men under his command, giving him an unprecedented understanding of the battlefield.

'''''HUGE WIP'''''
- Loyalists think Bulwark is sided with Hektor


As his empire grew and strengthened, Sebastion and the Gatekeepers' involvement in the crusades waned. By the time the Heresy began, it had been some time since Sebastion and his legion had done more than fortify and defend against xenos attacks. Remembering the pain he felt at having his mightiest achievement reduced to rubble by the Emperor, Sebastian declared his neutrality, taking his now considerable personal empire with him. Left on the sidelines as the Heresy raged, Sebastion and his Legion refused to side with either force; having been left out of the front lines, they had no idea of what was happening. Brother fought brother as the Heresy continued, leaving the Gatekeepers to sit behind their walls and watch in stoic resignation.
- Crucible ensues


However, Uriel Starikov, Primarch of the Children of Armok and a friend of Sebastion, warned that The Gatekeepers' rivals, the Silver Cataphracts, and the Steel Marshals were en-route to his empire to force him to join them, as they had done back on Arelon. Images of his brethren destroying his life's work enraged Sebastion, and he began preparations to welcome his former brothers with concrete and steel. As one final insult to his oncoming foes, he sent a personal message to their Primarchs.
- Pocket traitor screws up defences


"You will now know us as the Bulwark, for we will break you upon our mighty defenses and laugh at your death. You will be destroyed in the Crucible I lay before you, but take solace knowing that we will forge your remains into new walls to crush all those who follow in your ill-fated footsteps. We are the Bulwark. Bring us your best, for we will take them all!"
- Bulwark loses Crucible


Little did Sebastion know that the the two loyalist legions had been dispatched to provide assistance to the Bulwark, as Sebastion's little corner of the Imperium was perhaps the safest and most secure loyalist sector in the whole galaxy. The Loyalists had planned to use it as a base for a second front, to lure the Traitors into the masterfully crafted defenses of the Bulwark Empire or attack them from behind if they marched on Terra. The Crucible Challenge came as a shock, but assuming the Bulwark's message to mean they had joined Hektor's side, the Cataphtacts and the Marshals did not hesitate in preparing for battle.
- SQUAD BROKEN


The Crucible itself was made up of the 5 worlds of the Arelon system and 2 space stations, all garrisoned and fortified beyond normal necessity or logic. They were dug in for a long, bloody siege. Entire continents covered in garrisons, bunkers, and fortifications, all with their killzones perfectly measured and mapped out. Just as their worlds had once sustained their brothers and provided needed supplies, they now turned these venues inward to fuel their own war machines and create fortresses that spanned for hundreds of miles.


The space stations were bastions of terrible power, brimming with all manner of anti-ship and point defense weaponry. Maintaining a geo-synchronous orbit around Buhsteados, the 2 stations form a strong middle-point for the Crucible due to their ability to receive supplies from Arelon and Skuhtay while also providing support for Doward and Gauvahl. These stations, formerly functioning as Fortress-Monasteries, possessed large clusters of thrusters that were capable of slow and purposeful advances if needed; however, these thrusters were much more often used to better position their Nova Cannons towards enemy targets.

- Seb fights Roman?


'''''The following section only remains on the page as a skeleton for a future idea.'''''
- Seb fights Alex?


The Crucible would last the rest of the heresy, and outmatch the Siege of Terra in scale and brutality. Ultimately, the Crucible would leave the Bulwark victorious, but having sustained heavy losses themselves, losing around 55% of their legion. The Cataphracts and the Marshals suffer an estimated 65% and 52% casualty rate respectively. Towards the end of the battle, seeing him in person, Sebastian challenged the Marshalls Primarch, Roman Albrecht to single combat. Roman was a far superior fighter, and lead the fight, but Sebastian's skill at defending kept the duel locked into a stalemate. As both Primarch's anger and desire to best their rival took over them, they began to ignore the battle that had temporarily lulled to watch the two giants duel. Finally, Sebastian struck; parrying a sword stroke, he disarmed Roman, and gave him no respite - not even stopping to gloat. Roman's head flew, and the silence that followed it was deafening. A Primarch, the mightiest of the mighty, save the Emperor of mankind himself, was dead. Before the head of Roman had even hit the floor, the carnage resumed at a higher force than before - deafening cheers from the Bulwark, and cries of anguish and sorrow fueled rage from the Marhsals. Sebastian stood, sword in the air, relishing in the feeling - he had bested one of the 2 mortals responsible for his people, his empire back on Arelon, being destroyed. The feeling did not last long. He had suffered some minor wounds during the fight, but they had weakened him, and he returned to his fortified battle lines. Later in the battle, Sebastian would face the Cataphracts Primarch Alexandri while defending a breach in the curtain wall of the capital of the 4th and final world. Constantine was not as close a match for Sebastian as Roman was, but due to Sebastians wounds, Alexandri was able to get the upper hand, and mortally wounded Sebastian with a powerful strike from his master-crafted power halberd. Before he succumbed to his wound however, Sebastian grabbed the halberd's shaft, and pulled himself down the blade, so he was face to face with his rival brother, nothing but hatred on Sebastians face, but a look of remorse on the face of Alexandri. Sebastian tried to say something, and Alexandri leant in to hear his brother's last words over the din of battle. "Bring us your best, for we will take them all." He trailed off into laughter, that quickly became a coughing fit as blood poured out of his lips. His lips that smiled. Alexandri looked confused, then was engulfed in an explosion that sent all those in a third metre radius flying. Alexandri was not dead, but he was no longer conscious; the blast had ripped his lower body clean from the rest of him, and hurled his upper body up, and into the rubble of an outer wall. The apothecaries were able to keep him alive miraculously, but Alexandri of Rossak was in a deep coma, and would never be the same again.

Sebastion Rex was the Equerry to Hektor Cincinnatus, Primarch of the first Legion; the Heralds of Hektor.Sebastion led a Division of the large Legion; this Division was primarily defense-focused, often aiding Legions in the occupation of conquered planets and lending their great landships for use against opposing forces.

Appearance[edit]

Even past the day of his disappearance into the Warp, Sebastion's face was known to no one; all those who had fought with him and lived through the Great Crusade were long past dead. He is never seen outside of his armor except when within the confines of his personal quarters; as such, he has rarely been seen to partake in food or drink. Shorter than most of his brothers at little over the height of a standard human, Sebastion was a man possessed of a glorious purpose that drove his every action. Uncommonly, his grey eyes could be seen through the occularium of his helmet, seeming to constantly be in a state of deep-thought or contemplative planning.

The Great Crusade[edit]

As the Great Crusade progressed, Sebastian began carving out his own network of highly defended, incredibly fortified planets, and steadily expanded this burgeoning empire until he had a prosperous sector under his control. Benefiting from the regular patrols and heavy defenses, the sector economy became robust, constantly growing to keep up with the demand for construction materials, defensive weapons and space ships. He become close to Arelex of the War Scribes and Uriel of the Children of Armok; their Legions often co-operated, generating a closer sense of camaraderie amongst the troops.

The Heresy[edit]
