"Investigation Records of the Imperial Inquisition"

Affiliated Unit: Inquisition, Inquisition of Heretics

Reporter: Judge Owen Phelps

Praise the emperor and pay tribute to 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

He behaves very low-key. 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 originating from ancient Terra Rome. The name consists of a personal name and a clan name.

, family names and additional names, I believe that all 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 himself belonged. According to my investigation, after application, I 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, and 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

Based on the foolish, unconvincing and extremely doubtful claims of the natives, the act was approved by the Emperor himself.

The Emperor! 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 matter in the Macragge Sector.

A right, especially Bell’s own family! There is a serious possibility of heresy!

Let's get back to the topic and look at the "suspicious Ultramarines" themselves. After I traveled to Macragge, I was warmly received 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 Glory, Bell has shown extraordinary erudition since he was a child.

, intelligent and eager to learn, he could write and read Gothic before he was 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 thirst for knowledge and a 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 directly reports to and reports to Chapter Commander Calgar. It is said that the two have a good personal relationship. Chapter Commander Calgar

I had known and noticed Bell 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 original body. His personality is almost exactly the same as that of the original body when he was a child. He is studious, enthusiastic and extremely cheerful. His tutor

The local scholars all praised him constantly and called him a prodigy. I began to wonder who these local "scholars" were, whether they 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 confirm 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 and iron" 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 knowledgeable and knows how to use 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 lived under others, only assisting the leader as a consultant and technical staff. This was respected and recognized by everyone. Even "The Great Sicarius" admitted this. The Ultramarines said that Bell was

They also showed strong medical knowledge, helping them survive wound infections, diseases and physical discomfort many times.

Bell later served in the 2nd Company of the Ultramarines, which was a great honor. The "questionably enthusiastic" warriors in the Chapter told me that Calgar and the Chapter Captains once wanted to train Bell to become the Captain of the 2nd Company.

The candidate, Severus Ageman, the then commander of the 2nd Company, also expressed his support and recognition.

The senior leaders of the chapter believe that Sicarius, as a candidate for the second company, is arrogant, arrogant and extremely conceited. He values ​​his own honor, and even puts the lives of his brothers in danger for this, and does not obey orders at all.

It is an act without authorization. Although the results of its actions can always bring unexpected gains, the behavior itself cannot be tolerated.

Bell, who also came from the Macragge aristocracy, and whose aristocracy is more noble than that of the Sicarius family, is more humble. According to the memories of veterans of the battle group, Bell is very studious, humble and has no airs of aristocrats at all.

Like an apprentice who is studying, he is enthusiastic and active in learning everything.

The soldiers of the second company told me that Bell did not care about honor, status or pride, but only valued his responsibilities to the empire, the battle group and his brothers. He did not like to fight for power and had no desire for power. This was the difference between him and his ancestors.

The biggest difference between Guilliman and No matter how much Sicarius showed off or even humiliated him in order to compete for the qualification of captain, Baer always maintained restraint and tried hard to maintain friendship with Sicarius.

However, since a nobleman, a son of a nobleman with a noble birth, a scholarly son of a nobleman who has been specially trained by the war group, has no desire for power, either he hides it too well, or it means that he is a heretic!

The senior leaders of the battle group consciously cultivated Bell, and Bell quickly showed his all-round talents as an ultramarine. Not only did he understand the holy scriptures very quickly, but he also showed amazing talent in using firearms. According to his service,

The data during the period and the records after following Vito Constantine show that his marksmanship can almost be used as a sniper.

But Bell's greatest talent is his innate knowledge of machinery and technological creations. He showed his affinity for machinery very early. Later, the leader of the chapter and the chief technical sergeant of the chapter decided to carry forward his talent and bring Bell to the outside world.

He was sent to a Mechanicus forge world to study. According to the evaluation of the local sages, Bell was indeed extremely talented in this area and his learning speed improved by leaps and bounds.

However, Bell did not eventually become a follower of the Mechanicus. Instead, he paid more attention to how to use the knowledge of the Mechanicum to heal the body rather than carry out mechanical transformation. Therefore, he focused on biology during his studies. According to one theory, Bell experienced a lot of battles.

Later, he felt sad and angry at the casualties of his fighting brothers and civilians, so he became more willing to embark on the path of a healer.

The Adeptus Mechanicus felt very sorry for this. He told me that Bell could have made a good follower of the Ohm Messiah, but he still respected the "noble" choice of this young, intelligent warrior.

suspicious.

Bell later returned to the Chapter, serving as a technical sergeant and part-time as an informal pharmacist. Although he was not as dazzling as Sicarius, Bell always did the best possible equipment maintenance for the brothers in the Chapter.

He does repair and manufacturing work, but also rushes into battlefields filled with bullets to rescue the wounded. His behavior with complete disregard for his own safety has won everyone's respect.

But this also led to Bell being always overshadowed by Sicarius. He would not compete for honors, but instead allowed Sicarius's reputation to surpass his own. But it seemed that he didn't mind. He always made it clear that he

I don't want to compete with my brothers for power.

In the later decisive battle of the Ultramarines, when the Tyranid swarm invaded Macragge, Bell always stayed in the Arctic fortress to rescue the wounded and protect the people of Macragge, and even installed a heavy-duty air defense system in the Arctic.

After being paralyzed, he repaired and restarted the air defense system on his own without the help of the Mechanicus Priest. This was the reason why Cy and Macragge did not fall.

But it also caused him to miss the most critical fighting opportunity. After the second company commander Severus Agman disappeared in the battle, Bell missed the opportunity to serve as the temporary company commander, but Sicarius took it away.

This honor was a huge honor gained in the battle with Tai Lun, which provided him with enough capital to compete for the position of company commander in the future.

But it is certain that Vito Constantine also met Bell here. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Ultramarines Arctic Fortress at that time. Since a mortal can make the Ultramarines voluntarily obey his orders? We must seriously investigate this.

The truth of the matter.

After the Battle of Macragge, although he was seriously injured and was cured by Bell, Captain Severus Argyman decided to choose a successor to become the new company commander. At this time, Sicarius and Bell

The conflict on this issue reached its peak, but this conflict did not ignite a civil war in the company because Bell took the initiative to give up.

It is said that Bell voluntarily gave up his position as company commander. He did not want to have a grudge with his brother. In order to allow Sicarius to better perform his duties, Bell was dissatisfied with suspicion. Bell took the initiative to apply for external transfer to the commander of the Calgar Chapter and left the war.

The regiment served in the Deathwatch Chapter.

It is said that Vito was also present at the time, and after the three of them had a suspicious discussion, Calgar agreed to the request, and Bell was directly deemed to have joined Vito's service, so that he could continue to explore knowledge and the future.

He expressed his blessing to Sicarius, which made Sicarius moved, ashamed and embarrassed.

At this point, Bell has officially joined Vito's command. Overall, he is very suspicious! His thirst for knowledge is very suspicious, especially since he is in the position of Vito Constantine, who is full of doubts, and with the emperor's reputation

I swear, we must be vigilant around extremely suspicious people!

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 truthfully report the results of the investigation. Please be aware of it, your lords.

In the service of the Emperor and the Empire, this report is concluded.
