===Byk, the Tall===
-----
''"Be just and fear not!"''


Byk was a member of the Sacred Band, famed for his stature above his brothers standing a full five inches higher than the standard Marine. His amazing strength was due to a gene-seed mutation. Despite this he proved utterly loyal to the Emperor and devoted to his cause in all his conduct. The son of a prominent mercenary family from Europa who had joined the Emperor's armies without compensation. He was known as Benjan Tore upon his ascendance to be a member of the 15th Squad of the Sacred Band. He would later change it to reflect a cultural shift to Rosskan. 


He was considered a brother to Bohemond, fostering the same kindness and nobility found in the Storm Bringer but refusing to follow his ways of keeping the old traditions of the Argent alive. They had failed, and could only hope in Alexandri to lead them forward. He was fiercely loyal to his brothers, having both his arms replaced due to leaping into the fray to rescue his comrades. He was regarded as having the face of [[Arelex Orannis|Arelex]] but the bulk of [[Onyx the Indestructible|Onyx]], with heart of [[Roman Albrecht|Roman]]. He was forever immortalized in memory for his exceptional actions during the Heresy on Terra. Byk's last exemplary act was resolving himself after being disemboweled to tackle a Bloodletter off a cliff-face.
