Editing Casan Sabius

Casan Sabius is the current Lord Regent of the [[Red Scorpions]] chapter, a position roughly equivalent to a provisional [[Chapter Master]] (Lord Commander). He assumed command after [[Carab Culln]] fell in combat during the Indomnitus Crusade against a Tyrannid bioform known as "The great Beast of [[Sarum]]" (weird since Sarum is supposed to be a major hellforge) and was believed lost to the Imperium. His service to the chapter has been exemplar so far: he saved the chapter from the tendrils of Hive Fleet Kraken during that messy engagement where Culln went missing by coordinating the chapter's disengagement with a precision orbital bombardment, and always leads his chapter from the front lines, seeking to slay the most dangerous enemies in order to inspire his battle brothers to achieve great deeds trough example. As far as the Red Scorpions are concerned he is considered a formidable strategist and swordsman, and is a worthy successor to Culln.

Although his brothers are happy with having him in charge, Sabius himself is not. He secretly blames himself for the loss of Culln, and his zeal and fury are said to be caused by a desire to atone for his mistakes. In fact, he believes his role as leader of the Scorpions to be a stage of transition for the chapter until a new Lord Commander can be appointed. As anyone slightly familiar with Red Scorpion behavior might expect, this pushes the Lord Regent to maintain a fanatical pursuit of genetic purity. In battle he is often accompanied by [[Sirae Karagon]], the chapter's guardian of purity and standard bearer of the Vexilla Imperialis, who acts as a close advisor and pragmatic foil to Sabius's fervor.

His artificer armor seems to be mostly MKIV pattern, but has elements of Corvus armor mixed in in there. Also, his extensive cybernetics make him look like a Wolfenstein villain, which doesn't help to dispel the meme about Red scorpions being space Nazis.

Sabius is the Red Scorpions chapter master in all but name: he has the statline, and the standart 6" reroll to hit aura that other chapter masters have. His unique rule "Purity of Aspect, Action and Intent" gives all the models of a {{W40kKeyword|RED SCORPIONS}} unit within 6" an additional attack as long as Casan Sabius himself manages to wound something in that fight phase first. Lead by example. As for wargear, he has artificer armor, an iron halo, frag and krak grenades, the Blade of the Scorpion which is a +1S D3D relic power sword that doubles it's strength value when targetting a {{W40kKeyword|MONSTER}} or {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}}, and a Tigrus-pattern bolt pistol.

Sabius is the last non-primaris marine release to have recieved rules for 8th edition.
