Brother Melchior, Chapter Master

    Melchior was given command of Space Hulk 159 and the Death Angels by the highest ranks of the Dark Angels Inner Circle when the former Chapter Master, Zeruel Blackfist, was slain in battle by a Tau railgun while trying to assault a Crisis Battlesuit containing the Tau leader. Melchior has an extensive battle history, going back to before the Death Angels were even founded. He had trained in the same Assault Squad as Zeruel, and was pleased to hear that his request to serve under him when the new chapter was founded had been approved. He has proven himself worthy of his post many times, sometimes single-handedly defeating an important enemy to lead his troops to victory.
