Antoine Antonelle (b. 762.M30, d. 016.M31) was the first master of the Fifth Legion and became Gaspard Lumey's right-hand man after the Primarch was rediscovered. He was particularly notable for his patience and humility, rare virtues among the Adeptus Astartes.
He was appointed to head the Fifth Legion following the death of Mamercus and his squad of the Sacred Band during the Battle of San Angelus. Antonelle's time as the chief of the Legion was the most difficult in the Void Angels' history, as they struggled to recruit and develop following the loss of their officer cadre. During this period, he pioneered the Legion's squadron formations and tactical doctrine and mentored a small cadre of Marines. Antonelle was distinct among the early Legion Masters for commanding from Terra and entrusting field operations entirely to his subordinates. His main field commanders were Uli Dreier and Fabrice Diallo.
Antonelle was generally unpopular among the heroes of the Great Crusade due to his quiet nature and hands off command style, but he made a favourable impression on the War Scribes Primarch Arelex Orannis. The Steel Marshals' Roman Albrecht also offered the struggling Fifth Legion considerable assistance.
After Lumey took over the Legion and established its new recruiting base in the Markian subsector, Antonelle worked tirelessly to integrate and train the Legion's new recruits, who affectionately nicknamed him Papa Antoine. His continued role as the Primarch's right hand would never be showy, but it would always be important. Though the work required him to depart from the field of battle for a year and a half, Antonelle's careful planning led to the Winged Victory's famous victory in the Pacification of the Harakien Sector.
Antoine Antonelle died during the Battle of Rai, when the Strike Cruiser Endurance was lost with all hands. His eulogy was written by Gaspard Lumey but the Primarch was too overcome with grief to deliver it in person. Fabrice Diallo succeeded Antonelle as the Fifth Legion's second in command.
