Character Biography:

Axe-Sergeant Noreas was a squad leader of the Executioners Chapter's 10th Devastator Squad of the 2nd Company during the Badab War. Prior to becoming an Axe-Sergeant, Noreas was once an Axe-Brother who was present in the Pacification of Boenia Beta in 848.M41 where elements of the Executioners 2nd Company, 5th Company, and 9th Company and the Mantis Warriors drawn from the 3rd Company and 6th Company fought against a Chaos warband known as the Obsidian Execrators on the Civilized World of Boenia Beta. There, Axe-Brother Noreas became good friend with fellow Axe-Brother Hernias, and both battle brothers manage to score numerous kills on the Heretic Astartes and its corrupted mortal servants especially its Chosen Champions then taking their skulls as trophies after the battle was won.

51 years later, in 899.M41, Axe-Brother Noreas was involve in the Battle of Carrion Deep where the 2nd Company under High Chaplain Thulsa Kane's command were ambushed by the nightmarish metallic xenos known as the Necrons. While battling against the Necrons, the 10th Devastator Squad would suffer heavy losses including their sergeant, leaving Axe-Brother Noreas, Axe-Brother Hernias and one unnamed battle brother as the surviving members of the squad but they have regrouped later with the rest of the 2nd Company to enact a counter-assault in order to break free from the ambush laid by their nightmarish foes. Afterwards, Axe-Brother Noreas rose into the rank of Axe-Sergeant of the rebuilt 10th Devastator Squad.

By the time the Badab War broke out, the Executioners would pledge their allegiance to the Secessionist forces under the command of Lufgt Huron, Chapter Master of the Astral Claws and the self-proclaimed "Tyrant of Badab". In their first mission, the Executioners launched an assault on the lunar outposts of Khymara garrisoned by the Loyalist forces of the Howling Griffons Chapter. During the battle, Axe-Sergeant Noreas led his squad to provide suppressing fire for their brothers while fighting against the Howling Griffons. As the Executioners achieved their objective and inflicted enough damage to the Howling Griffons, they immediately withdrew the battlefield. By that time, Axe-Sergeant Noreas felt regret for his actions in fighting a Chapter that was loyal to the Imperium.

Sometime later, Axe-Sergeant Noreas was among the Executioners who accompanied High Chaplain Thulsa Kane during the peaceful surrender and negotiation with the Salamanders aboard the Battle Barge "Pyre of Glory". While the negotiations were going, an Astral Claws raiding party led by Arch-Centurion Carnac Commodus boarded the "Pyre of Glory" and began slaughtering the surrending Salmanders and pillaging their gene-seed for their nefarious ends. Shattered and angered by the betrayal and dishonourable deeds of their former allies, Axe-Sergeant Noreas would later protect the Salamanders and savagely slay the Astral Claws Astartes without mercy. As he slew numerous of them, he was struck down and slain by a Veteran Retaliator who fatally stabbed him in the chest with a power sword but his death would be avenged by his friend and fellow Axe-Brother Hernias, who manage to kill the Veteran Retaliator mercilessly.

As depicted above which was captured via skull probe during the Executioners' assault on Khymara's lunar outposts, Axe-Sergeant Noreas was seen clad in an Artificer Power Armour based on the relic Mark III 'Iron' Pattern Power Armour but it cobbled together with a Mark IV 'Maximus' Armour chestplate, and molecular bonding studs to hold additional plating on the armour for extra protection against powerful weapons such as shots from a plasma gun or armour penetrating bolt rounds. In addition, instead of a standard Mark III helmet, he wore a 'Mantilla' Pattern helmet taken from a Mark V 'Heresy' Pattern Power Armour, and attached onto his armour's back were servo-skulls and a signum which allows him to collect a myriad of useful battlefield targeting data and pass that information on to their companions, allowing for more accurate and coordinated fire. Lastly, he carries a Power Axe and a bolt pistol as his weapons should his foes dare to fight him in close quarters.

Notes: The skulls and grizzly fetishes on Noreas' armour were taken from the Chaos Champions of the Obsidian Execrators warband and their cultist allies he had slain during the Pacification of Boenia Beta. Also, the blood splats indicate the tally of kills he earned.
