| - After the Second War for Armageddon it swiftly became apparent that all was not well with Erasmus Tycho. Commander Dante reluctantly assigned Tycho to permanent battle duty, yet even there he was ever more violent of temperament, and his tactics became audacious to the point of foolhardiness. Finally, when Ghazghkull returned to Armageddon during the Third War for Armageddon, and Tycho revisited the war that had seen him mutilated so many years before, his mind snapped. Lost in the depths of rage, the Captain took his place in the Death Company. At the head of a seething mass of raving, delusional battle-brothers, Tycho led the assault upon the breach at the Ork-held hive of Tempestora. Though his charge carried the day, and though the ferocity of his assault has since become legend, the Captain fell at the last. In death he found redemption, his twisted face settling into an image of serenity. It is whispered in the halls of the Apothecarion that when his half-mask was removed during the funereal rites, not a single hint of disfigurement could be found.
