In the final days of the Chapter in the late 41st Millennium, Sarpedon was defeated in single combat by Captain Darnath Lysander of the Imperial Fists' 1st Company, and finally taken into Imperial custody aboard their Chapter flagship, Phalanx. Fortunately for Sarpedon, before Mercaeno could deliver the death-blow, he was slain by the previous Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers, Eumenes, wielding the Soulspear. There the duel continued until Mercaeno emerged victorious. Ultimately, the two returned to the original location, the deck of the Herald of Desolation, a Black Ship incorporated into the Soul Drinkers' base of operations, the Space Hulk Brokenback. The worlds recreated included the Daemon World of Ve'meth, the Temple of Rogal Dorn aboard the Soul Drinkers' Battle Barge Glory and the world of Stratix Luminae. Each time control of the psychic world shifted, so did the environment the two fought in. It was later replaced with the Howling Griffons' Librarian Mercaeno's Force Axe, after the staff was broken in a duel with the Librarian.ĭuring the duel, Mercaeno psychically created his own version of Hell and recreated the Throne-Temple of Periclitor (a powerful Daemon Prince dispatched by Mercaeno himself).ĭuring the course of the duel, Sarpedon gained, lost and then regained control of Mercaeno's psychic world. Sarpedon had a Force Staff made of the now rare material known as nalwood from the desert world of Tanith which dated from the period before Tanith's forests were reduced to wasteland. One was replaced with a bionic leg after losing it to Vorp, a Champion of Nurgle.
During the duel his body mutated, growing 8 arachnid legs. Sarpedon was made Chapter Master by the acclamation of his Battle-Brothers after defeating Chapter Master Gorgoleon in an honour duel called the Shield-Rites.
Sarpedon was a Librarian and the final Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers Chapter of Renegade Space Marines who were exiled from the Imperium of Man as a result of their unwitting corruption by Chaos.
