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

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

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

HUGE WIP

As his empire grew and strengthened, Sebastion and the Gatekeepers' involvement in the crusades waned, so focused was he on solidifying his hold on his territories. 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.

Post-Heresy

Following the aftermath of the Crucible, and the now finished Heresy, the shattered Bulwark fractured, splitting along faction lines; many formed myriad warbands, but hard-line loyalists remained and formed the Ramparts, a shadow of what once was.
