Hello dakka
After reading Rogue star I noticed something about Ollanius Pius, After a quick google search I ended up on Lexicanicum and found out who he is. Turns out this guy is pretty cool. My question is : Why does nobody care about this guy ? and why is he almost never mentioned ?
I mean Sanguinius died for the emporer and he gets alot of mentioning but I think Ollanius Pius is so much cooler. If anyone has anymore information on this guy please tell me.

They haven't done too rich a background on him in the later codi.  that's pretty much the only reason.

Ollanius Pius stands for all of us.
Ollanius wasn't a nine-foot tall, power-armoured, brain-washed, steroid-pumped, combat god.
He was just a man with a laser rifle, and balls of steel.
Horus couldn't defeat Ollanius, so he had to kill him instead.
The forces of Chaos have spent the past 10,000 years trying to conceal their failure.
