SPARTANS. PREPARE FOR GLORY!
The Minotaurs fascinate me. The chapter master, is a mysterious character to be feared - after all, the Custodes chapter master, Captain Valerian himself has said that he is unsure if he could defeat Moloc in single combat. So I want to do them justice.
The Emperor Protects
