Praise the Emperor and salute all your lords.
————————————————————————————————————
As your Excellency knows, I followed the footsteps of Inquisitor Vito Constantine to Macragge in order to investigate the attachés around this "extremely suspicious" Inquisitor. The target of this report is Bell Bu. Lutus.
Sergeant Bell's full name is Bell Julius Guilliman Brutus. He belongs to the Ultramarines Chapter and is a pharmacist. His name is usually abbreviated to Bell Brutus. This is a Very low-key behavior. My lords, you must have noticed that his name contains Guilliman.
This is not like most nobles in the empire, taking a sacred name to seek blessings. In fact, the nobles in Macragge follow a naming method originated from ancient Terra Rome. The name consists of a personal name and a clan name. , family name and additional name, I believe that your learned Lords have discovered the problem.
Yes, after my investigation, it was confirmed that Bell's family is derived from the collateral bloodline of the family to which the Primarch Roboute Guilliman belongs. According to my investigation, after application, "permission" was granted to access the library. After visiting the Primarch Archives in the Great Library of Lage, I can definitely make it clear to all your lords that Bell's ancestor is the adoptive father of the Primarch himself, the brother of Conor Guilliman, Gaegu Guilliman, and Gaegu The family is Bell's family.
Gaegu himself was also Guilliman's most capable consul at that time. He was "affectionately" called Uncle Gaegu by the original body. It was he who promoted and formulated the proposal to exempt the Macragge sector from tithes, and according to The act was sanctioned by the Emperor himself, based on the foolish, unconvincing, and extremely doubtful claims of the natives.
The Emperor is above! Such a heretical and untrustworthy bill can never be passed by the Emperor. It must be a lie fabricated by the locals. Therefore, I make a solemn request to your Lordships to re-investigate and review this right of the Macragge Sector, especially Bell's own family! There is serious possibility of heresy!
Let's get back to the topic and look at the "suspicious Ultramarines" themselves. I traveled to Macragge and was received warmly by the Ultramarines Chapter. They were obviously more friendly to the Inquisition than the Space Wolves, but their enthusiasm It was completely suspicious, so I was always vigilant and was not deceived by it in any way.
I inquired, investigated and consulted a large amount of information and witnesses inside and outside the Chapter. They described Bell to me. According to the administrator of the Guilliman Family Hall of Honor, Bell has shown extraordinary erudition since he was a child. , intelligent and eager to learn, he could write and read Gothic when he was less than five years old, and he had read all the books in the family library before he was ten years old.
After that, Bell showed a strong desire for knowledge and desire to explore. This is very acceptable and very suspicious. As we all know, my lords, only Tzeentch believers would show such enthusiasm! He is very suspicious.
Bell's father is also a major local noble. Due to family reasons, his father hereditarily holds a seat on the Macragge Council and is directly responsible and reported to Chapter Commander Calgar. It is said that the two have a good personal relationship. Chapter Commander Calgar Bell has known and noticed him since he was a child.
Gu said that people who are familiar with Bael affectionately call him "Little Guilliman" because he is very similar to the primarch. His personality is almost exactly the same as that of the primarch when he was a child. He is studious, enthusiastic and extremely cheerful. His tutor With local scholars constantly praising him and calling him a prodigy, I began to wonder who these local "scholars" were, loyal to the emperor, or loyal to dangerous knowledge.
Bell later joined the Ultramarines Chapter. It is said that after visiting the temple where Guilliman slept, he developed a "curiosity and desire" for the endless galaxy, so he spontaneously decided to join the Chapter and explore the "endless knowledge" in the galaxy. , this move is very suspicious.
Praise be to the Emperor, the Ultramarines Chapter's archival records are very complete, so we can clearly state that Bael's joining date is M41K.780.
After receiving preliminary training like all recruits of the Chapter, he was sent to the death planet on the edge of the Macragge system for trial. The recruits were required to survive there for a week and then reach the predetermined location on foot. Where could they arrive alive? people will be eligible to join the war group.
This is a dangerous trial. The planet is filled with a large number of monsters and dangerous terrain. Most of the trialists will die in the process, but Bell did not. Not only did he not, but according to the active service of the Ultramarines Chapter, Members told me that Bell used some "scrap" to build guns, swords and armor that could fire, helping them survive the trial.
I highly doubt how he did it, and although the Chapter's "official story" is that Bell is a man of great knowledge and knowledge of the use of tools and materials, I remain skeptical.
Bell persuaded some recruits with his eloquence, and they united and used the tools made by Bell to survive the trial, but the interesting thing is that Bell never led them. In fact, Bell was replaced by the current captain of the second company of the Ultramarines, that annoying Led by the arrogant Cato Sicarius, who was also a recruit at the time.
Bell voluntarily served as a subordinate, only assisting the leader as an advisor and technician, which was respected and recognized by everyone, even "the great Sicarius" admitted this. The Ultramarines said that Bell also showed strong medical knowledge at that time, helping them survive wound infections, diseases and physical discomfort many times.
Bell later served in the Second Company of the Ultramarines, which was a great honor. Those "suspiciously enthusiastic" warriors in the chapter told me that Calgar and the captains of the chapter once wanted to train Bell to become a candidate for the captain of the Second Company, and the then captain of the Second Company, Severus Agman, also expressed support and recognition for this.
The high-level of the chapter believed that Sicarius, as a candidate of the Second Company, was arrogant, arrogant and extremely conceited. He valued his honor and even put his brothers' lives in danger for this. He also did not obey orders at all and always acted on his own. Although the results of his actions always brought unexpected gains, his behavior itself could not be tolerated.
Bell, who also came from the Macragge aristocracy, was more noble than the Sicarius family in terms of aristocracy, but was more humble. According to the memories of the veterans of the regiment, Bell was very studious, modest, and had no aristocratic airs at all. He was more like an apprentice who was enthusiastic and actively learning everything.
The soldiers of the Second Company told me that Bell did not care about honor, status, and pride, but only valued his duties to the Empire, the regiment, and his brothers. He did not like to fight for power and had no desire for power. This was the biggest difference between him and his ancestor Guilliman. No matter how Sicarius showed off in order to compete for the qualification of company commander, or even humiliated him, Bell always remained restrained and tried to maintain friendship with Sicarius.
However, a noble, a noble heir of noble birth, a noble son who was knowledgeable and talented and was trained by the regiment, since he had no desire for power, either he hid it too well, or he was a heretic!
The senior officers of the Chapter consciously cultivated Bell, and Bell soon showed his all-round talent as an Ultramarines. He not only understood the Holy Code very quickly, but also showed amazing talent in the use of firearms. According to the data during his service and the records after following Vito Constantine, his marksmanship was almost enough to serve as a sniper.
But Bell's greatest talent was his talent for machinery and technological creations. He showed his affinity for machinery very early. Later, the Chapter Master and the Chapter Technical Chief Sergeant decided to develop his talent and sent Bell to a Mechanicus Forge World to study. According to the evaluation of the local sages, Bell was indeed gifted in this aspect and his learning speed was rapid.
But Bell did not become a Mechanicus believer in the end. Instead, he paid more attention to how to use the knowledge of the Mechanicus to heal the body rather than mechanical transformation. Therefore, he focused on biology during his studies. According to one theory, after experiencing a lot of battles, Bell felt sad and angry about the casualties of his fighting brothers and civilians, so he was more willing to embark on the path of a doctor.
The Mechanicus Sage felt very sorry about this. He told me that Bell could have been an excellent follower of the Messiah of Ohm, but he still respected the "noble" choice of this young and intelligent warrior, which was all very suspicious.
Bell later returned to the regiment, serving as a technical sergeant while working part-time as an informal pharmacist. Although he was not as dazzling as Sicarius, Bell always did the best equipment maintenance, repair and manufacturing for the brothers in the regiment. At the same time, he would rush into the battlefield of gunfire to rescue the wounded, and his behavior of completely disregarding his own safety won everyone's respect.
But this also caused Bell to be often overshadowed by Sicarius's light. He would not compete for honors, but let Sicarius's reputation surpass his own, but it seemed that he himself did not mind. He always made it clear that he did not want to compete for power with his brothers.
In the decisive battle of the Ultramarines later, in the battle of the Tyranids invading Macragge, Bell also stayed in the Arctic fortress to rescue the wounded and protect the people of Macragge. Even after the Arctic heavy air defense system was paralyzed, he repaired and restarted the air defense system by himself without the help of the mechanical priests. This is what prevented the fall of Sai and Macragge.
But it also caused him to miss the most critical fighting opportunity. After the captain of the second company, Severus. Agman, disappeared in the battle, Bell missed the opportunity to serve as the temporary captain, but Sicarius took away this honor. He gained great honor in the battle with Tyranids, which provided him with enough capital to compete for the position of captain later.
But it is certain that Vito Constantine also met Bell here. He was the commander-in-chief of the Arctic fortress of the Ultramarines at that time. How could a mortal make the Ultramarines voluntarily obey his orders? We must seriously investigate the truth of this matter.
After the Battle of Macragge, although he was healed by Bell after being seriously injured, Captain Severus Agerman still decided to choose a successor to become the new Captain. At this time, the conflict between Sicarius and Bell on this issue reached its peak, but this conflict did not ignite the civil war in the company because Bell took the initiative to give up.
It is said that Bell took the initiative to give up the position of Captain. He did not want to have a grudge with his brother. In order to let Sicarius perform his duties better and not be suspicious, Bell took the initiative to apply to the Calgar Chapter Master for a transfer and left the Chapter to serve in the Death Watch Chapter.
It is said that Vito was also present at the time. After the three had a suspicious discussion, Calgar agreed to the request, and Bell was directly regarded as joining Vito's service, so that he could continue to explore knowledge and the future. He later expressed his blessings to Sicarius, and it is said that Sicarius was moved, ashamed and embarrassed.
At this point, Bell officially joined Vito's service. In general, he is very suspicious! His thirst for knowledge is very suspicious, especially when he is around Vito Constantine, who is full of doubts and I swear in the name of the Emperor, we must remain vigilant!
In the name of the Emperor, I will continue to investigate the truth about Vito Constantine and the people around him. If he is a heretic, I will report the results of the investigation truthfully. Please be clear.
In the service of the Emperor and the Empire, this report ends.
