Editing Remus Ventanus (section)

==Great Crusade==

Ventanus served loyally and well during the Great Crusade. He ultimately rose to the prestigious command of the Fourth Company, First Chapter, making him one of the most senior captains in the XIII Legion. Chapter Master Marius Gage personally honoured his ascension to the rank by presenting him with a master-crafted power sword known as Phaeton. During a war with the Eldar Craftworld of Jielthwa shortly before the Horus Heresy, Ventanus came to the aid of his friend and fellow captain Lyros Sydance, who was engaged in a desperate battle with thirteen Eldar warriors. Sydance slew twelve of the xenos himself, but did not notice the thirteenth; Ventanus charged in firing and killed the last Eldar with a lucky shot. Sydance was honoured for his feat of arms, but he and Ventanus would later make an inside joke of the incident. As Ventanus put it, the thirteenth Eldar might well have killed Sydance but for Ventanus' intervention, so which was more important: Sydance's twelve kills, or his one?
