''"I am the Shield of my Brothers, Let the hand that falls to them, fall to me instead!"''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
''"Iston i nif gin..." The wraithguard swept its great weapon across the halls of the Ward of Saint Pius, as the soul inside whispered out in a calling for its prey. "Am man, iston i nif lin?.. Faica Vuin, Morai-heg. Why do you serve these mortals.." The ancient spirit looked down upon a mortal that stared at it with a mighty shield. More mortals stood behind this one, one of which carried a great hammer and was shouting orders.''

''The ancient heard whispers in its shell to take the souls of this mortal. It obeyed, and swept with it's scythe across the one who carried a shield. He tried to cut the chord that held the mortals soul, but the chord was guarded tight by an arcane force. Again, and again the ancient swept its scythe over the mortal, and still the mortal stood.''

''Sergeant Ferrus charged forth, with Zakis Randi marching quickly behind him as he slammed right into the wraithguard. He felt groggy, weakened and injured, yet with not a single mark on his body to show for it. The great guardian slogged into the ancient's fist, but he was unbroken by it. He knew only one thing then, and that was to stand and take the scythe for his Lord.''

''Ferrus then parted his body aside like water as Zakis brought down the Judgement Gavel into the wraithguard. With one strike the ancient being crumpled. And another strike fell as Ferrus crushed its spirit stone to stop the construct from moving again.''

Sergeant Ferrus has served with utmost distinction in the Chapter Master's personal guard, acting as his figurative and literal shield in some of the most brutal fighting of the Chapter's history. When Zakis Randi laid broken in body at the hands of Null Knight Tertius, it was Sergeant Ferrus who took up his shield to fend off the tank-rending blows of the Null Knight until Captain Xavion could place the final shot to end the threat. Though not wielding a standard weapon, it is said that not even the most skilled of warriors can force down his guard. He can be best be described as tenacious, self-sacrificing and unwilling to rest even if he is struck down. For him, not even his duty may end in mere death... </div>
