Bio

"The Gate Unguarded"
Though psychic powers are more common among your bretheren than with other chapters,
few are truly immune to outside influence. Whether from xeno mind-clouding or the taint of the Warp,
one of your brothers fell from the Emperor's grace and became a puppet for dark forces. You fired the final bolt-shell,
and in doing so delivered him from his unwitting sin.

Personality

A comparative newcomer to the Chapter Librarium, Arkias still has not fully embraced the caution and analytic approach
that defines the Blood Ravens approach to war. Contemptuous of those too weak to choose the correct path and who turn to
heresy, Arkias often shows a worrying audacity and willigness to gamble, something that would doubtless have led to
censure or even dishonour had not many of those risks been justified in hindsight. It is hoped that his time in the
Deathwatch will either teach him the value of a more cautious approach or reign his more problematic traits in, in
addition to removing a reminder of the fall of a well respected Raven.

Young for a Marine, Arkias is gaunt and dark-haired, hair shaved away around the implants connecting him to his psychic
hood. His gaze seems to always linger for a moment longer than would be expected. There are jagged scars across his
temple, reminders of the death of the Battle-Brother Arkias had been forced to put down shortly before his secondment.

Arkias is strongly (some would say worryingly) gifted in the ways of the Warp for one newly trained, something that did
not go unnoticed by the officers of the Blood Ravens Librarium. They nurtured his burgeoning talent while keeping a
cautious eye on his actions and demeanour. The Chapter's history (To say nothing of the Imperium at large) is littered
with the names of psykers who delved too fast and too deep into their potential, after all...

For all his willingess to gamble, Arkias is still a Blood Ravens librarian, and recognizes well the value of accurate
intelligence and ritual augury. Indeed, the Lexicanium often engages in a reading of the Tarot prior to missions with his
Killteam, the ritual serving as both forewarning and prayer. He is a firm believer in the tenets of his Chapter cult,
and venerates both the Emperor as the Lord of Man and the Unknown Primarch as one of His sons and the lesser father of
the Ravens.
