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", and was believed lost to the Imperium. Like his predecessor, sabius has a thing for leading 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 (having already saved the Chapter on one occassion) , 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. This feeling is rooted so deeply inside him that Sabius believes his role as leader of the Scorpions to be nothing more than 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, all of this pushes the Lord Regent to strive for genetic purity in a quest that is borderline fanatical even by his chapter's already insane standarts. 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.
Model-wise he perfectly embodies the theme of his chapter: slightly unusual things arranged in such a manner that they're almost indistinguishable from it's vanilla counterparts. His artificer armor seems to be mostly MKIV pattern, but has elements of Corvus armor mixed in in there, and his bog-standart bolt pistol is Tigrus-pattern for some reason. If there is something remarkable about him, it's that his extensive cybernetics make him look like a Wolfenstein villain, which doesn't help to dispel the meme about Red scorpions being space Nazis.
